If there’s no such thing as robbery or stealing, I don’t think I want to install any grill on my abode. I might have to think about this again if I have kids, but then that’s not my concern now. So, like it or not, we just have to give in to it. To make it even complicated, living in a common residential area, the condo management only allow one kind of design and one kind of color for iron grill to be fixed on balcony and windows. But we are free to pick our own design for main door and they are fairly open with suggestion by the residents, although this doesn’t mean they agree to it :P

Not sure if you’ve heard of Invisible Grill before. This type is allowed in the condo. Kinda cool isn’t it? So it wouldn’t look like you’re living in a cell. We are still thinking about this.

We picked this design for main door. It’s a wrought iron grill. The contractor is a very nice and sweet lady. She didn’t push us for anything extra  and was really patient with me and my never ending inquiries. She gave the best deal amongst other contractors we’ve met and advertised in our residential online forum (yes we have one!! :D).

It’s a 3-day weekend, we spent it meeting contractors, measure walls and windows, surveyed some furniture and toilet accessories. I’ll try to put up some pictures of our house before we start doing any renovation/improvement.
