Not at all. At totally different corner.
Just that the location of the rear door faces the sewage tank directly which in turn directly face the rear room window.  doh.gif
I don't see this as a problem. Unless the sewerage are dirty and smelly.

My contractor advice when change get the glossy, cause the normal cement will not last compare to the old days. I wanted to change, he tell me better paint it. So I pay him 3k to paint, and add metal sheet Think another few Ks

You should try Top Ten in Puchong or around Damansara Utama there are plenty of light shops or Old Klang Road. So many choices, just make sure you scout around first.

Been there "Top Ten", price is not really very cheap till you have to endure the slow service. The FAN price is not the cheapest, legend quote me cheaper, and Bayu is only RM 1 to RM 2 difference. Downlight quality are so so only

Plan to go get downlights soon either from Top Ten or Wong Lightning.
Open to any recommendations.
Medium quality casing will do. Good quality though
Hafta be cost conscious  tongue.gif
above 50 pcs downlight  rclxub.gif

I'll vote for Wong lighting. Try the PJ branch, recently renovate, and very nice.

Look like the ducting hole is bit too low. You plan to have plaster ceiling? and the plaster ceiling is below the ducting hole?

TV, A/C, Fan, Furniture, Cabinets, and other xxxxWares all is substantial.

My Cat 5e cable. "Brand recommended by 2 IT professionals"  brows.gif

Ok lah this cable. I use this for my house, and still got about 1/2 box left. Tested all the network port, and terminated it. So far so good. Will wait for patch panel and do some cable management later when I have time.

Bro..sorry very noob question. Your UTP cable (Cat5e), the contractors will know what to do is it? as in they will know how to pull it and conceal?

Concealing into concrete?

Cos mine is gonna be Unifi cable..i wonder if they know what to do..
*
Unifi is Fiber, your contractor won't be able to pull the cable. If you search this forum is been discuss before the recommendation.

Why didn't go for Cat 6 cables bro? I've laid Maxwell Cat 6 cables for my place. wink.gif

For me it does not served the purpose of using Cat6, justify the price of the terminations equipments. For proper installation of Cat6, it can only bend to some degree, and good quality high bendable cable is not cheap (spline-less). After installation it need a full Flux testing before it can go up to 200Mhz with no/minimal CRC. For 1Gbps speed 100Mhz , a Cat 5e can also be achieved without problem.

But well, is personal preference.

CAT 6 cable damm pricey .

After discussion with my 2 IT professional friends,  hmm.gif

My Personal Conclusion (and self justification) sweat.gif
Good to have but you I will not be able to utilize the full capacity currently.
In future maybe... a BIG "MAYBE",  yes, "BUT" by then maybe CAT 7 or above will supercede this. tongue.gif
So CAT 5e is more than sufficient.  icon_rolleyes.gif

For future proof, get Fiber lah biggrin.gif

I have some empty conduit that can run Single mode Fiber all the way up to the roof. biggrin.gif

Yup, heard that from my friend too. Am getting my friend who's a network engineer to troubleshoot and do the flux testing for me.
Am planning more for network usage with network TV for future once the price has dropped somewhat to capitalize on OTT and console VOD streaming capabilities in future.

These items usually puts a heavy load on the network and rather get higher rated cables to support this. Otherwise potong stim only when everything has been set up then the video streaming stalls.
*
I wonder what streaming can you get with 10Gbps? I can't hardly find anything capable of 1 Gbps.

Bottleneck is not always the cables Be it Cat5e, or Cat6. If the speed have reach 1Gbps, the bottleneck is on equipment throughput like H.disk read write, switching capability on your switch(es), router and noise. That is where the equipments like Cisco, 3Com, HP come in place.

Getting Cat6 is like having a high speed tires, but the engine, car design, road and traffic is many other factors.
