Further destruction !!

The 1st floor is preety much cleared. It looks so "bald"




The rubble at the Ground floor is blocking the stairs.



When Going up to 1st floor, feels like have to climb up a treacherous mountain

This total chaos looks fun, but I know its hard work for the guy with the hammer

wow....i can imagine mine like this later....

That picture of the stairs, looks like a river of parquets!

after put back new tile, will be so pretty...

TRANSFORM!! lol

you get that sense of excitement when you see progress =D

the excitement is when they start putting in the finishes
then you can see the transformation
not forgetting the headache when the sub-contractors encountered unforeseen problems. Things like some services that needs to be relocated, etc Add cost

But, overall, you will really appreciate it once you have clean up the place upon completion

Make sure to take lots of picture.

After hacking, I am thinking to put in a termite control system.
Is there any suggestions?

you got it right. Since you have removed all the flooring, better to put in termite treatment. For my house reno, I got the termite control people to drill and pump in the anti-termite stuff.
But you need to careful of the underground services before they start drilling...

Anti-termite treatment by drilling is much cheaper then having to use the other methods. Cost me abt RM1.2k. It depend on your ground floor built up area.
A peace of mind

Is this chemical deal with the ground only? How about the roof and the rest of the place? The termite can infect from your neighbour through the roof. That is 1 of my friend house kena.

The usual contractor will use the water based poison (chlorpyifos) even for roof which are not really good. They don't use oil based cause is 5x more expensive.

You can either ask the reno contractor do it for you, you buy the stuff. I brought some water based for them for the ground footing, and oil for the roof.
