how much is the total renovation without furniture?

Are the grills at your blacony and gates made of wrought iron? How much did you spend in total for the grills?

Care to share the layout plan for the house? You seems to have all the necessary living/working areas planned out well.

Btw, did you deduct the extra costs from the payment due to your previous contractor? Or you have paid him in full already?

Best regards and enjoy your new nest!

i got a feeling maybe not wrought iron. Very rare to see ppl respraying their wrought iron. I think maybe portion is
wrought iron?

It is mild steel.

How big is your fence wall until it cost u 26k?

I need to do a fence wall 6 feet height and 85 feet long, just wonder how much would it cost. Any idea?

Hi, my side fence 80 feet long cost me about rm8500 6feet high.
The finishing was a bit rough, but it was rock solid, as there were re-bars at the top and the bottom.

The top is mild steel only, it is still galvanised to reduce rusting and it is somewhat shelter from direct rainwater.
I think I posted the layout of the house in one of the earlier posting as a downloadable pdf. Please check early posting.
I followed the advice of renovating to increase living space. So I spent about Rm350-400K but I increased the living area to about 4000 square feet.
There is only 1 kitchen , no wet , no dry. This way, I can have a big functional kitchen. Make sure you have a very good exhaust fan AND windows so the smell of Chinese cooking do not linger in the kitchen. The kitchen has an Island and a breakfast bar so that 3-5 people can actually cook and hang around in the kitchen at the same time. I done away with the wet and dry kitchen as I wanted a social kitchen so has to be big. I connected the kitchen with the meals area(dining room).
I follow western style a bit, laundry is small , just to wash clothes only but has a door to outside to hang the clothes easily.

Hope you have fun designing your place...

Lesson learned, make sure the contractor is richer than you and not rely on your cash to buy cement and so..on.
Next time, a contractor tell you he need your money to buy cement, ask him to piss off.

you can PM me.. my house is under reno now... & the contractor seem to do a good job.. i did brick wall surrounding my house too & was quote 8K

hi TS, i just saw pictures of your house, your light trough space in the living area, isn't it much better for you to get LED strips? it seems that the light is trapped within the area, and you get 4 hot spots on top...

great work overall though, although i feel that it's too "clean" to my liking..too much white tone...could consider using beige to make it feel warmer, much more comfortable....

jojozep, how did u handle the conflict resolution & closing off with the unchristian kontractor ? Sorry to bring up the unhappy incident but hoping to learn something ..
