Nobody will tell you that renovation is cheap and in most instances, there will be cost overrun.Â
Just exercise some constraint, don't go over board else will need to dig out the piggy banksÂ

Piggy bank also not enough
When think of constrain, its like getting a rolls royce but use cheapo plastic wheel rims

Hehe, my renovation is slow, i think is more like hotel for the indo. Yours maybe faster.

Anyway he quote me 1.4k local arm + standby battery, with 1 year warranty. Wiring excluded.
In case your electric contractor don't know, ask him lay 11 cores cable before the parking slab. Better still Armored. (Mine is 11 core armored). 3 for power, 4 for auto switch, 1 (some use 2) for light so you only have 2 to 3 core spare. Each end of the gate pillar, lay 4 core armored cable, terminate to where you terminate the the 11 core.
Err, what I am getting is a 9 core armored cable. The contractor broke it down like this:-
1- Doorbell. 4- autogate. 1-light. 1 power. 2 - extra just in case.
- Why you use 3 for power? 4 armored cable at each end of the gate pillar ??? Can enlighten me..

Bro,
Why not get thicker PE Sheet. Usually for big project, people use 0.25mm 250micron... Anyhow difficult to get la... Just use 200 micron ok oredy le...
Hee hee, mine small project mahh....
Anyway, here is the properties comparison:-
Water Vapor Transmission Rate - ASTM F - 1249
120 micron LLDPE Film, Approx - 2.5 g/m2/day @ 37.8oC, 90% RH
250 micron LLDPE Film, Approx - 2.0 g/m2/day @ 37.8oC, 90% RH
(110% increase in film thickness - based on 120 micron thickness - provide an incremental 25% in WVTR)
Tensile strenght - A recycle grade 250 micron LLDPE film has approx. the same tensile strenght as a 120 micron LLDPE Metallocene film.
