about the plumbing, jonas highlighted a good point. May I suggest you let the kitchen sink water run & check for leaks esp at the outlet pipe/wall interface. let water pool/flood inside your bathroom 1 in (lower than the 'step' into your bathroom laa, otherwise you will flood the whole room) and leave it for few days to see if the waterproofing is good. If it's not, then you will see water seeping to the walls and it will be obvious from the ceiling downstairs. If the pool of water dries quickly is also a suspect of leak. find it & report it before the DLP expires.

just my suggestions.

anybody have a tips, on how to take care on the upstairs laminated timber flooring. can i mop the floor with normal warm water?, or it needs special care to make the wood last longer?

Mob with mixture of vinegar and warm water in 1:4 will do the trick. That's what i heard... enjoy cleaning your house!:)

Angry mob?

thanks for your suggestion!

does anyone has do any research on the type of grill that suitable with the modern design in TTDI AI?.

i'm thinking of putting a grill with a simple design. but at the same time, afraid it will jeopardize the beauty of the windows.

can we share our thought on this

I put a lot of thought on grille and finally decided to make a simple horizontal rectangular bar. The material is mild steel powder coated and the color will be white. The price is about RM 9-10 psf. Since my house has around 800 sq-ft of window and door area, the grille would cost me 9000!

daym!! RM9k? type D? I thought it's gonna be like rm3-4k only. I guess I have to revise my budget (again)..

Just type C but corner with so many sliding doors at side. Just thought about windy and bright environment on those doors. Now the cost of grille is killing me.

oohh okay. mine is intermediate so I hope it won't cost me that much. shop around a bit more. Maybe if we all engage the same supplier, we all can get good price oh? Perhaps could get better discount, but don't get from those offer too cheap. Their quality sucks, cannot complaint later. lose money some more.

Funny I had the same thought today. But I didn't know grills can cost so much! I am thinking of not putting any grill. I just don't want to spoil the design.

Someone please scold me.

By the way I notice at the building location, there is a lot of high tension electric wires, not to mention the houses price shot up to 530K and above.
When I call up the TTDI sales office, they said it is build up very far away? However when I was there is was only few walking steps from the housing areas.

The site also has two large mosque as oppose to one. Convienence for malays, noisy for non-malays.

People has no choice but to choose these areas because of the building material(Steel and bricks) has been heavyly tax by the goverment.
My aunt told me after the election, at March, the houses prices will shoot up another 30%(another tax additional--where the money goes??).

Okay first of all, I will try to understand what you are trying to say.

1.TNB hi-tension wires - just don't buy the houses near them. in fact if you look at the map, there is a huge gap between the houses and these cables.

2.Expensive houses? I think it reflects the current market price. I admit to be paying at a premium for a unit, but I believe Alam Impian will be a great place in 10 years time. Not going to be your average cowboy Klang town. This is a well-planned township.

3.Two large mosques? According to the plan, only one large mosque is going to be built at the I&P site. It's convenient for MUSLIMS (not just Malays) and I guess if you live in Malaysia, you should LIVE WITH IT. If not, feel free to migrate to the UK. Oh? they have mosques with loudspeakers too? Shame on you. I don't see mosques as a problem. I love looking at great looking mosques like the ones in Putrajaya. #kickingoutracism

4.For the last part of your concern, I don't quite get it. house prices don't go up because of TAX (or election), expecially during the time as we speak. It is simply because of the market we are facing at the moment. BBB. Property prices overpriced. But not that you can't profit from it. The developers will then justify the prices to the authority (KPKT) stating higher cost of material. But in the end, it's all about maximizing profits. If you ask me, in case there's a change of government, prices of properties will fall. This is normal when economic plans and policies are scrapped/implemented.

TQ

I am of the same opinion as Jeghui.

marcuslk99, I find your statement offensive and borderline racist; in addition of being wrong. There is only ONE site allocated for mosque and its at I&P site, besides Tinta Semi-D

Jeghui.. let me scold you okay done.
lets not fight for tenants I'm thinking let us set the rental at about rm2k.. you agree..? the higher, the better lah. probably the whole house will be lower. I'm renting out rooms, so it turns out to be around that price. let us all benefit from each other. are you renting out your unit as well? I might live there with the other tenants, still thinking about it...

Guys, I think I saw there's gonna be another mosque somewhere in the area, probably second or thrid phase later on. Its either a big mosque, or a large surau, enough to accomodate muslims around there once the other projects completed. I vaguely remember this but since someone brought it up, I remembered. Main thing is, it's it's important to you, call up Naza ttdi and clarify with them.

I saw the hi tension cable, but cant find it on the Google Earth. New structure, prehaps? I thought I wanted to measure the distance but since I can't find it, I can't measure it..

Surau usually don't have loudspeakers. In ttdi a I, only surau is allocated. Don't think it's a real issue.

About tenants. Won't fight over it with u hehe. But possible mah RM2k? Rooms possible I think. But we really have to consider the rental rates around that area. I asked u about the rate becoz I oso wanna rent out haha.

Ps: I'm hoping for tolerant and level headed neighbours.

Ttdi mosque is in front school and near club house. It's very close to next launch area.

Regarding high voltage line, you will only see patch of lighter green area on google map. Not towers. And those lines are at least 500m away from Spira area.

I also thought about the grill and how ugly it would look if I put the conventional one in.

Do you guys know anything about Invisible Grill? > http://www.invisiblegrille.com/home.html

Thought it would look nice compared to normal grill. Believe Houz Depot also have them.

Btw I don't sell this and is not a promoter for it or something

Invisible grill is only suitable for high rise. Won't be a deterrent in landed house, IMO.

By the way, grill would not prevent break in! Would you know the thief can break the grill within minutes. In addition, if we over designed the grill, it would become a trap during unforeseen fire! In my opinion, just go for simple design to prevent petty thief is good enough. What we need to do is to ensure strict security system in the housing area.
