Not 2 walkway , one only. You are right. The door is actually located on the right side, (kitchen left) in what I called a laundry room.
That is why I said the window from the back room faces the rear door, not the walkway.
- I was describing the position from the inside,
- from the rear outside looking in Jo_da48 description will also be right

The straight line does not mean front to back door, but the room window, to the "sewage tank" to the rear door.

Not contractor .... my mom

actually so far only 1 FS master. This one have to incorporate in as it is Mother liao.
I do not really follow 100% the FS master, so far only 70-80%

Approx 12' X 6'. You wanna do something similar?

Roof tiles is an issue all by itself. Is yours leaking now?
When I got this house, there was a leak.
My wetwork contractor repaired it as he was there doing the renovation and when it rains, he could zeroed in on the location.

Initially he replaced some roof tiles that were damaged. Later when there was a very "heavy" rain, he found another cause which was the roof corner tiles which needed a much more work intensive repairs with sealant.

Luckily he cincai and did not charge me extra for that.

The best is when it rains kuat kuat , you and your contractor personally go up under roof to observe and pinpoint fault.

All the cost is for inverter type - R410A - the more expensive type.

The plaster ceiling on the surface looks pricey but then you only do the edges so I do not know if the regular cost structure apply.

For Door and window grille look at this guy

Renovation updates...

The Major Re-Do... Re done

Back Door "Shifted"



My new "designer" staircase



House wiring and air cond piping criss crossing all over the ceiling... to be concealed soon.



Kitchen and sanitary-wares from our good fore-runner zheliwane



Guess what this is.... also from zheilwane

Bingo !
Cant go above the roof to take picture so "bawah mali"

I use the plastic sheet roof to allow light through for the laundry area to dry clothes.
I guess it will serve the same function as a zinc sheet.

Renovation Updates


The renovation recently cater to the "bathing connoisseur / aficionado / enthusiast / zealot / addict / mad / crazy ,,," part of me

As mentioned before my contractor installed 2 water tank.
Extra one advantage, if water shortage in my area I have more water storage thus last longer.




Tiling has started

Kitchen and Laundry area..



Bathroom



You will notice there is a feature wall at the shower area I designed myself, I nearly lost my mind choosing that tiles. The tiles I initially choose cost nearly as much as the tiles for 1 whole bathroom tiles.
Luckily sanity prevailed and I changed my mind after a good night sleep

Things I've learned
: - locate your water tank along the concrete wall top, depending on roof truss timber to provide support is not enough. Water damm heavy.
:- Usually cement is used to adhere tiles to wall,
Adhesive (susu) is used when shiny, glossy tiles are involved. The chemicals that are used to process these tiles cause the tiles to have reduced adhesion thus susu) is needed.
Even if it is "Grade 1" tiles, it is not all perfect, bound to find some tiles to be "imperfect", especially wall tiles. Sad to say usually these imperfection are only noticeable when the tiler apply/use the tiles (the imperfection are noticeable when it is placed side by side with the other tiles).

No la... Main go to tank..s, then only go to house hold piping. Bigger tank only.

Added on December 5, 2011, 2:21 pmNow Plaster ceiling has started, thus need to look for Downlights.

Made up my mind to use Round type vertical Downlight with energy savings bulb and ballast.

So far I visited Avalon(Puchong), Top Ten(Puchong) and Wong lighting(PJ and KL).

Avalon - only sell D/L with bulb without external ballast.

Top Ten - The D/L casing they have has very flimsy skeleton - paperlike.

Wong Lighting - Their higher end products Eliminuz (or something like that) only has horizontal type D/L .
-saw a sample of YET D/L being displayed , good sturdy casing, but when the actual product , latest batch is shown, it is the same flimsy D/L I saw in Top Ten...
Another option is YLI from Ipoh, slightly pricer but the reflector is sandblast type, not so bright reflection
Ask if can use YLI casing + YET reflector = they say "NO"

Still have not decided on which brand yet

Note : it seems that YET and Evenzzo are adik beradik, same product diffrent branding.
