Hello All

I would like a little advise, please as to how hard it is convert an open recess to a robe? I'm in the process of having a house built in Madeley Perth, and opted not to have the builder charge me the extra to have robes & a linen cupboard made, so left them as open recesses (ran out of funds !!) I naiviey thought I could get it done cheaper?! Hmmm I think I may have made a huge mistake?!

Just been quoted $500 for just a door and each recess needs two doors (swing space is not big enough for a single door)

Can the resess be converted retrospective to the house being finished - a helpful guy at bunnings said I could gyptrock the top piece (ceiling to door frame), install a door frame for less than a $100.

Does anybody know if this will work? or even if it is a good idea?

Or does anybody have any other ideas - obviously it is far to late to change my mind as the building company says I can't speak to the forman, and as they have already started the building - oustside walls, window frames and lintels are in place??

Anyway appreciate any advise

Nikki (aka Devon67)
