its my turn to start the renovation since i got the key for a years and consider too long tongue.gif

and since im poor, no budget to hire ID, so i decide to do it by my self, looking for contractor one by one, and ask for quotation from each of them.
i try my best to reno for the part that really useful of it since my budget not allow me to do luxury reno

i divide the renovation part by part as following:

1) construction work(such as:cement, etc) - approx rm12k
- place cement at the place behind the house, (35X10)psft
- place cement at the place beside the car porch, b4 its lawn, (20X6)psft
- build up a store room at corner under staircase
- add one door at first floor master bedroom to belcony, b4 tat its window there
- add one concrete table top at dry kitchen, 11 feet
- add one concrete table top at wet kitchen, L shape, total 9 feet
- heighten the ditch border to prevent mug go into it, 60 feet
- enlarge main gate place, remove the pillar and re-build it at correct place


2) wiring
3) alarm
4) plaster ceiling
5) cabinet (kitchen, wardrobe, tv console, etc)
6) tinted
7) painting
8) auto gate system
9)grill door & window
10) maingate
11) plumbing
12)

these all already make me faint rclxub.gif , hope i can last until all the jobs done.

Your house very nice... where is it?

I assume u should b very faint now.. smile.gif grill first, then reno, then buy furniture, then electrical stuffs...

I don't see anyway to do it below 60k, unless u want to make it kampung house..

lol, my house located at kampung area, but doesn't mean to make it like kampung style, i will try to make it become modern.
and u r right, faint from the day 1 i start reno it, and one of the reason of faint is bcoz i wan to control the reno cost not over 100k.
60k? drool.gif i also want it
*
do u mean 100k only for reno, or include everything like furniture and appliances?

i think people advise us not to choose branded.. shop around during year end sale will help..

i see my small house already want to faint already.. wink.gif

for me is quite big job bcoz i didnt make it b4, i didn't rush sure got reason, one of it is busy on my work, another one is bcoz i still got house to stay currently flex.gif
and my house located at kampung like area, not kl for sure smile.gif

100k is already a lot.. and it must be cash too..

after spending big bucks on house, still need to pay for reno...

in fact developers should have done the normal things like grills and kitchen..
