Have a sheet of laminate glass to cut for some kitchen cupboard doors.
Anyone know if I can do glass alone for the doors? I have the wooden frame, but prefer the look of full glass if possible

Lmao timing.
I have glass in an imported TV stand...more wondering if anyone had the hinges here that the glass person could cut and install.

Think I remember seeing a review of their services some time back. Anyone has any experience with them that can be shared?

Also any reviews on Master Builders Construction. The seem to have some good work as well.

Let me know. Thanks.

Billdaboyzhave alot of videos on Facebook every week.

Alot of criticisms in replies to his videos though.

I see one video where he "hydroexcavating" a new cesspit hole and he sending all the silt and dirt into the government drain.

Can anyone recommend a person to replace the glass on a UPVC window? One of the window panes broke on my casement and need to get it replaced asap, hopefully this weekend.

As a side note, is this something a DIYer can do? I saw some YT videos for double glazed glass replacement and wonder if the same process will apply.

Thoughts and recommendations are welcome.

Anyone knows where I can get 30 or 32 inch steel doors? I saw most places have 36 inches and up.

carluva · Postby **carluva** » December 8th, 2020, 7:14 am

If you are talking about the steel panel doors, check Discount Door Center. I bought a 32" door from them two weeks ago.

They are located obliquely opposite Medford gas station next to Xavier St.

Bhagwansinghs is also a good place to start.

There is a new door store open in Charlieville on the Caroni Savannah Road. If you are heading North, it's about 100m after Nicks and the small engine repair shop. It's on the same side as Nicks. I stopped there a few weeks ago when I was looking for doors and the guy told me that they were expecting a shipment which would have steel doors.

Hey all,

Is there anywhere to get LED flood lights at a reasonable price locally? This could be normal or solar powered. Thanks.

carluva · Postby **carluva** » December 12th, 2020, 8:18 pm

Boodoo's electrical.

I bought two 50W LED floodlights at their Chase Village branch. It is the Green Technology brand and is IP54 rated.

It's a very good light and very bright. Easily illuminates a 30' X 30' area with overspill into a 60' X 60' area.

I believe I paid about 400-500 for it, but can't remember exactly.

You can get from 20W all the way up to about 100W or 200W in different form factors and mounting styles.

I bought alot from boodoos.
Suppose to be have 3 year warranty. I never keep any of the bills.

Say I buy 15 100w and 3 200w.

Within 6 months
3 of the 100w get a whole section of.dead leds
1 completely stop working

1 of the 200w a 3rd of the leds stop working.

Land in Aranguez worth this much?

Chimera · Postby **Chimera** » December 22nd, 2020, 12:08 am

most likely they mistakenly add an extra 0
because 800k is going price for land in that area.

700-900k for a lot with no T&C

Sounding like a good chain up . Building materials cannot stop buying but if they hold on to it for a week extra they can throw up the prices . No workers coming out either so they know anyway no construction going on anyway

Hmm curious to find out whats the cost to build some apartment units on a 5000 sq ft land (no slope/flat land, land owned already and walled) Not sure if T&C approval/WASA is needed as it already has a small dilapidated house with water running already, since 1926 that needs to be bulldozed.

Also thinking I could build 6-8 two bedroom units with 10x12 bed rooms in it not to sure as I still in the planning phase.

Trying to be smart with the costs since ill look to rent each unit for like 3800 in the Arouca area.

From what I gather so far it seems it might be 700-850k but wanted a lil extra insight from Tuners.

Well first off T&C/WASA is a big factor, especially if you want to do apartments.
