After the silicone cured as expected the panel vibrate goyang but I go ahead hanging the door added 28kg to the goyong vibrate door. Closing and opening the door cause the panel to move and vibrate.

To overcome this problem I silicone a piece of 6mm glass 15" x 9' as shown in the picture and next day when the silicone cured the panel and door are solid, no more vibration. the 6mm glass act as a stabilizer.


Again L brackets were used to hold the 6mm glass and silicone glue it.

The 6mm 15" x 9 1/2" glass panel is a shelf for towels or any other things.

Hanging the door is easy. Remember I bought a piece of 10mm 6" x 24" acrylic sheet and cut out 2 pieces at 10mm. There is a purpose I bought more than required. The balance is to put on the floor at the door to support the door hanging. With that it was easy to hang the door hinges to the door. First install the hinges to the fixed panel and then lift the door to the acrylic sheet, position and screw the plate of the hinges to the door and done.

See pictures here why I want to diy. I saw many sample at shops and all have large gap like 10mm or more. Mine the gap between the panel and door is only 2 ATM card wide = 1.5mm. With 10mm thick glass and a gap of 1.5mm water will not flow or get to the other side even if i spray water at it. Of course not spraying directly.


Alamak mistake made. The 4 screws per hinge supposed to be on the inside shower and not on the outside where the face is smooth without screw heads. See pic. Anyway the screw heads are covered by buttons. Anyway, leave it as it is and change later and not putting in the buttons as yet. With buttons it look nice so decide later if want to change it.




Then I ordered the last panel around 19" wide and while waiting for delivery it was time to hang the new basin and the old mirror.

This is where the new smaller basin sink going to be.


Using masking tap, draw a few horizontal lines so that when I hang the sink i know it is level. Then the center were marked and the drill holes were marked too. That shows how useful masking tape is that you can draw on it than drawing on tiles especially dark color tiles.


The first hole were drilled. See a nice hole. Compare with the old holes (the two what patches) so called drilled by profession, basin installer who drill holes and installs basin practically every other day if not everyday!!! Enlarge the picture below you can see the bottom hole drilled by installer the side of the hole were hit few times by the drill bit on my tile surface and scratches too. Just how lousy these people are. Just because it cannot be seen these people just simply dont care.


Job done. The sink drain pipe was fitted with the exiting drain pipe temporary and that is why it slanted. will make it L shape and the bottom of the sink will be covered later. connecting piping hot and cold is easy.


So replacing and hanging sink is not difficult, right?

The Final Piece

With door closed and water strip attached to the door (11mm width of door strip), marked with masking tape where the final glass panel sits.


Cut the length of the acrylic rod from the wall to the mark and silicone glue it to the floor.


Brackets to the wall with double sided tape.


Waited half day for silicone glue to dry. 4 brackets around the acrylic rod with double sided tape. Masking tape to the rod and the glass below. Apply silicone glue to the acrylic rod. Without wasting time lifted the glass panel onto the acrylic rod. Removed the bracket and masking tape around the acrylic rod.


Using spirit level make sure the glass stand vertically. It did not by a little, so little that I had to insert a cutting blade on the inside of the big bracket and wrapped the cutting blade with tissue paper (see pic above) so as not to cut the glass.

Masking tape the wall and glass and ready with silicone gun.

The glass is standing on its own next day


Gameover


The door. Left side 1.5mm, right side 11mm for water strip.

Nothing to shout about. Shout a little bit ok la . Actually everyone can and you learn along the way. It is not your hands that do it. It is your brain start thinking and start working. Only if you take the step to "Do It" it added a "yourself"to it and becomes DIY (Do It Yourself).

Here another brain teaser:

After the glass shelf been attached to the fixed panel I applied Rain X on the glass. Remember when I wanted the shelf mainly to stabilized the vibrating fixed panel and door i used L brackets to hold the glass shelf with double sided tape on 3 sides between the walls and the fixed panel. Then only I could apply silicone to the glass shelf. And now I wanted to add another shelf. Of course to hold it is again using the L bracket with double sided tape. But the double sided tape could not stick to the glass panel as before. Why? Because of Rain X. For those who do not know what RAin X is, it is a product, applied to your windscreen rain water will just flow away from your windscreen without you using much of the wipers. Water wont stick on it and so is double sided tape. It was so smooth. Now I can't hold the glass shelf with the bracket on the glass side.

So, the brain start thinking and here the brain provides the solution. Using two stools one on top another and a box see pix. Therefore DIY is all about your thinking brain and not hands


The finished product with a toilet roll so you can see the shelf properly.

You also DIY and with you and me contractor tapau.

Forgot to show the water strip.

View from inside, the water strip is exactly 11mm after pushing all in into the glass.


View from outside

Brain has to work again.

See these pictures


That was the place the old basin and there were 4 expansion bolts had to be cut and plastered. Two of the plastered holes are visibly inside the shower screen and of course unsightly.

A visit to kiddy store. Bought some stickers. Now you see it now you dont. Plaster holes no more.

One application on windscreen can last you 3 years. It gives you a clear view on raining days but will cause your wipers to jump because your wipers cannot hold on to the smooth windscreen to give you a good wipe. You will also realize that your wipers will move faster than before due to reduced friction. On other window glass or real windows it will not get dirty easily.

Also on mirror in bathroom you will get clearer mirror. It is good especially hot shower bathroom with storage and solar water heaters.

Our water certain areas contains lime we have lot of limestone. The hot water makes the lime that dissolved in the water more liquid and as the droplets of water cooled it solidified and as water evaporates it leaves the lime behind and you will find your taps and mirror scaled with white like stains. As such Rain X helps reducing droplets of water stays on its surface and of course the white scales.

I bought it at Brother, the car accessories shop.

Yes, correct, get one. But as Ozak and my experience it is not good for wipers. Once applied it is hard to get rid of it and you got to suffer a long time. So use it only on all glass areas but windscreen.

Just how you read the instruction when you bought it??? Blindly taruk?

er? I thought what was that funny shape thing. Ohhooo it is a sponge! Creative Japanese.

Yes. So long it is glass surface.

I went to a bathroom accessory shop in 1 Puchong looking for bi-fold door for bathroom. I saw that they have shower screen door. The shop lady show me samples and styles they have with brochure. I asked how much to make a 6 foot 3 panels shower screen with 10mm tempered frameless like mine here. She said RM1150. I said it was really cheap and could she re-calculate if it is 10mm tempered glass . She confirmed yes RM1150 no mistake and inclusive of installation, the hinges, normal handle, swing door Of course the frameless is not like my frameless but with U stainless steel channels. Those channels look good. And it is inclusive of installation.

That is the cheapest I have ever found. Before the quotations I got were RM1700, RM1900 and framed 6mm RM1200.

If you want I can Pm you the contact.

Other things also cheaper than other shops. I bought tap (hot and cold) and basin drain cheaper than others. Also intend to get toilet doors fr them.

RM880 is a bit high I think.

3x6 =18sq ft x RM18 = RM324 here in peninsular.

RM880-RM324=RM556. You are paying RM556 for installation + some accessories like stainless steel U channel? Anyway U channel is not cheap depending on quality.

Can take a pic after installation?

Extend the kitchen area involving wet work, windows, door, tiles, relocate toilet and room, kitchen cabinet, furnishing, etc. Extensive work. Now looking at design and quotations. Headache.
