the lock system for the security door is very expensive..if broken (by thief), you may need to replace a new one...I am advised not to install security door for main door...back door is ok...and don't order the stainless type security door...as i know, some is not 304 stainless steel like model S1-219 HP...i know got a lot of people kena...rust within a year or even one week...
*
The most important is the lock, need good quality build lock. If broken can still open is ok. Worse the lock jam inside, cause this door is called heaven earth lock, replacing is hard and may need to hack out.

still haven't apply yet.  the meter still in single phase. will apply anytime soon.

The TNB cable from neighhour to neighbour is already 3 phase by default.  So just use the cheaper version ie overhead instead of underground.

Yeah looking at your photos look like you have 3 live input, but old meter. Wonder you do direct tapping smile.gif

The existing floor by developer is not level.

As stated in main page, RM2580 for 40 staircase and 1100sf floor.  I let the contractor to source.  He has his own flooring people.

Mine house too, the 1st floor level really bad.

So what is your plan?

Parque already out, now ask my contractor level the floor. After all the other work done see got $$$ left. Maybe Lami, but if i can squeez enough maybe hardwood loh.

Then another question i ask, never get a straight answer. Do I do the build in cabinet before the flooring or do the flooring before build-in? Some say do flooring first, some say cabinet.. sigh.

How much your contractor charge to remove parque and levelling?

According to floor depot, put the cabinet first.  If cabinet on top of laminated floor, then no allowance for shrinkage and expansion of floor.
*
He quote me included in the original cost for removing the parque.

Leveling he say told me add few hundred only woh (I will budget in 1K). Sigh i thought he original quote me include leveling. Ok lah no B&W, so this small amount i don't want to make noise since his "Ma Chai" help me spray the TrussGuard termite oil on the roof.

Added on July 27, 2011, 11:21 amMy plan if no money, use lami for few years, and change to solid when got money biggrin.gif

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.

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  tongue.gif

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.  biggrin.gif

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

i would have been nice if the tnb meter is not located in the central of house..  but welcome to BU!

Thought is Kim?

Yeah, if meter is on the side look better. Maybe try to box up the cable, put a small door if incase TNB want to inspect you can open up the box.
