No need get grade 2 or lower. Get 1x1 older design but grade 1 or A is good. Headache free.

If get a junior tiler, the end result will be horrible with lower grade tiles. Even with good tiler it look bad.

casement window...

how much is yours per sq ft?

How tall is the windows? I am planning on a 6 feet tall casement windows and he advised me to have 2 handles per window.

Yup, I do agree with you. But where do you think offer the best deals?

Ermm, Sect 14 (Better Living or Ipmuda there?)

Not too familiar with the tile shops around Sec14. Just decide on the tile you like. Take note of their price. Then scout around the various tile shops.
I got mine from those shops around Puchong areas.

If exterior house painted white, what colour should I paint for the frame of windows?

anyone pls give me some suggestion, thanks...

Black colour... hahaha

IMO, any colour would do well with white, except beige.
So you should consider what colour to match with your interior wall, assuming that your window frames are visible internally (can't imagine why not).

I saw other people paint white frame with grey exterior house..the frame stand out quite nice..

I plan to paint the exterior house with white...I would like to make the frame of window stand out but still don't know which colour to use...my window is power-coated white with green glass...

Frame that I mention is like the red rectangle in the attached pic

Added on August 8, 2011, 1:34 pmmy indon contractor only charge rm120 to remove my 200sft parque. However, one contractor did post this question.. he ask

'why wanna remove when it's still nice? prices of wood has gone up. besides, laminated flooring isn't real wood'

kinda makes sense. So now i'm thinking whether it's worth the hoo haa to remove the parque which is still good.

Anyone knows where to get this wood brackets? My contractor seems to have problem to source this.

They are not ready made. They are custom made using hardwood with bolts & nuts. Different project will have different dimensions requirements

I am stuck with this, and it is delayed for more than a month.

Who is your contractor that is doing the roof? Ask him to do that. Very simple. Any Indon carpenter can fabricate that. Just make a sample that is correct in dimensions. Then use this as the template and mass produce the rest.
There is no rocket science in fabricating these roof truss

Better to use Hardwood since it is exposed to the Malaysian weather. You don't want to having to replace the rotten timber after few years.

BTW, if you are using the normal concrete roof tiles, suggest that you get the bottom of the roof tiles pre-painted first before installation. Will look nicer when viewed from below.

Yeah lah, my contractor worker also ask me do that, ask me buy wood he kautim. But i told him prefer glass.
