good job in disappearing another zero of the cost!

interested about this talk about sewerage pipe.

For old house, do we need to redo all this sewerage pipe that runs into the ground and to the back of the house into the sewerage tank? cause I really scared if the old pipe might be broken after many decades of use of earth movements? or even maybe clog already? I also having to face same dillemaa...

maybe you have consulted your contractor, mind to share whats their opinion on this? I hope i don't need to re-do all this sewerage piping that will save a lot...

Most lighting shops have the typical China ones and most of them are low quality but selling at premium price. We meet a lot of clients who express the same concern but China does have reliable and good suppliers as well, and there are those with good quality, provided you pay the price

We are an engineering company who provide site visits, consultation, installation, products and energy studies to help our clients reduce their cost and save as much as possible for their betterment and also for the environment. We are not a lighting shop with customer walk ins, therefore we will take the proactive steps to go to meet the customers and discuss what is actually required. Let us share with you that many of our clients actually have some form of bad experience with LED suppliers from lighting shops and afterthat, develop a general phobia towards LEDs. Taking clients for a ride with false promises is something we dont practise and dont condone if others practise it as well as it spoils the market and ruins the trust.

We can assure you, we are trying our best to change this perception through knowledge, education, providing quality products, reasonable price and good service with full warranty. LEDs are an investment, not a cost, the more you invest the greater the savings. If you invest lets say in a 3w led spotlight at RM36 each, you will get back likely 4 - 5 times the return in the next few year depending on your usage. If you invest RM1, than you will get back about RM2 - 4 in due time as well. Question is, what will RM2 - 4 be in the few years to come. So if you invest lets say RM1-3k, than you will also see this money come back to you 2 - 3 times in the coming years, which is more substantial to the individual.

You are most welcomed to email us if you need any assistance or have any inqueries at centurionstareng@gmail.com. Hope the above was useful. Cheers.

hai yah...your contractor can taste your blood already..if earth movement can crack the GI(iron) pipe to the severage, I think your house also can crack in half already..what some more , they will replace with big PVC pipe...which is plastic...

if rust thru...maybe?...but I have seen those pipes, they are killers to even cut them...my contractor will not lie one...I look into his eyes when I ask him this ' those GI pipes ..very strong one..can last another 100 years...no need to replace also can lah".. he agreed. So not to lie and not to loose money...he say..'it is very lasting one...but very ugly... so better hide it.

a lot is commonsense...unless you can smell the shxt already, it will have sprung a leak...if not...don't touch it...very expensive one...

hahaa.....i like the way u describe it....
i havent really start one(reno)....but i certainly will look into his eye and test him!!! hehehe thanks thanks...

Hi,

No problem, love to help a fellow forumer -if got time..

I posted more pics..the big pipe severage is very expensive to change so do NOT touch it if possible- just divert it not relocate it....

they know Chinese very patang this shxt thing...so they will cash in..however if you are very rich, then never mind-lah..

Also posted some cement rendering of the brick fence, and also the concrete roof.
You should consider concrete roof as it does add space for future use.. Normal roof tile is a bit of a waste..everyone enjoy!!

big project bro
when will complete?

This post has been edited by well: Mar 25 2011, 08:29 PM

Target was 3 months -start date :Jan 25 2011 End date:April 30 2011(including shifting in)
Structural,new piping,wiring,plaster ceiling to be ready by 10 April,2011.

Not so easy - especially when I look at details and budget too. So spent lot of time examing..eg..cement rendering- I ask for 2 cement coat before plastering...aluminium doors and windows - went to the factory to check the thickness of glass and frame and mu;ti-point locking before cuttting..

I heard that they sometimes don't give the correct thickness- how you know...right?

Well..I have until end May to move out of my old house..

what is multipoint locking?

windows is another area where i cannot find much about price quoting in forum....mind to share how its priced? like 3 panel glass price? thickness?

gambateh gambateh....more photos pls

Here I can post a quote for 1.3 mm and 6mm glass..

Also this is for multi-lock i.e can lock not just at 1 point (but 3 points,so harder to break-the lock)

Here I have a sample for single lock...you can see it is a normal simple lock..

You think I eat full full , nothing to do-hah? CNN and BBC also not so fast..
ok-lah..lucky my handphone camera can take pics quite good and I normally charge my handphone with my PC...

ok...those of you who is doing
roof' or 'bumbung' - stop and consider..

RC roof actually is the modern look (add value to prop) also if build strong enough, can use as upstairs..

ok, first 2 pics, the no-use roof demolish so that the Master room can extend another 10 feet by 18 feet plus a nice balcony over the front garden(kept the original orientation)..
Another picture - the pergola outside the dining room is taken down to extend the dining, the columns is put up with an RC slab for a second floor.

An old picture showing the staircase to the window -which will become a door to the second floor of the dining..i.e family room..

Hi mind to share what are you going to use for the table top in the dry and we kitchen? I am doing my house reno also. Almost like yours whole house remodel it.

Hi Reen,

Are you still within your budget? haha..

Firstly,I am not making a WET KITCHEN...as I don't like to maintain 2 kitchens- I have been using a dry kitchen for last 12 years and it suits me fine..
I noticed that wet kitchen then to be messy and dry kitchen becomes 'show kitchen'-hardly used.Do invest in a good hood..and plenty of cabinets , basket, sauce drawers,swing baskets, hidden rubbish bin and gas cylinder..

So I don't really chop big things..I will go for solid surface, likely white (in fashion)..but I am making a small island,a small part of it concrete top(prob with black homogenous tile - just in case,I need to use the big chopper...)..The island will also have a conduction hob..to cook tapas or do a steamboat..

My current kitchen - will bring some of the good ideas over...but it won't be nyatoh this time..

Thanks for your reply. Am thinking to use quartz stone which is anti stain as was told that granite will stain. Aslo thinking to do concrete top using 2x4 tile again some said it will pop out few years later. Do not what to use. Pening

jojozep, wanna ask you this

may i know what is the cost to re-plumbing the whole house for double storey, roughly need how much?

Not touching the sewarage pipe though, only redo all water pipings, taps, install WC, sink, taps etc....

My contractor charge me rm5000 to redo new PVC pipes from meter to house baths(3),kitchen,garden,new water tank(outside slab) as the current pipes are jammed..
Installation of WC,taps are seperate costs..which depends what king of tap,but should be in range of rm50-200 each item..

Double storey house - maybe rm1800-rm2500?
