Hmm not sure but the door is damn so heavy, need 3 ppl angkat, i look from the side, it looks like solid wood....not sure its one piece full door or not. But my main door is whole piece of wood not using wood block...i think sarawak here the wood cheaper eh? whole big piece of merbau only RM1000

Only ah? Haha you must be quite rich if you think rm1000 for a wood door is cheap. Considering the price, it must be custom made. What is the width measurement for your door?

Cheaper? Haha.. believe it or not, all the doors in sarawak are imported from west malaysia. thanks to your CMS, sarawak forest is botak already due to excessive clearfelling.

lol the wood is from one of our friend's factory which is local sarawak wood fresh from the forest, 6 feet width height not sure....

door height usually 7 feet, woah..almost square door, 6 feet width one piece is totally big

6 ft wide? Are you sure? 6 ft width is really unheard of.. are you operating a theme park or a resort or something? lol. photos or else it doesn't exist.

There are such big tree, but for me, I'll prefer not to kill such old tree. Home is important, but mother nature is also need to be taken care.

BTW, fresh cut wood, need to season, and not all can use for door. Single pieces will wrap very easy.

The front and car porch are going through major changes

The car porch RC roof structure is up.


The front wall all destroyed


Phoenix, i notice u extend ur original living room to a straight line. May i know if u move or replace the original TNB power lines that run pass ur house? i m planning to extend whole of my living room 2 feet to a straight line too, but i was advise by my contractor that i cant hide the original power lines in my house. i will have to get TNB to re-lay new power lines along the new walls and it is going to cost me 2-3k !!!!!

any idea how to implement this extension without denting my poor wallet another 3k ?

Thanks thanks!!!!

If you read through my post then you will see the final approval cert picture lah..

[/quote]

but my problem is i m now clueless how to apply. heard that if you go to MPSJ, some "buaya" officers will approach u to "help" get your submission. price depends on how extensive your reno is and how many standard guideline u break

Really expensive. probably material price up a lot.

If I still remember it cost me rm150 .

Depend on area, like Subang, I have to go through TNB officer to arrange the recabling. Some area they just give you the certified contractor and you go call them. My relocation is about 1.1k

Go TNB for your area and check. You can even relocate TNB pillar, or light post

nice door..and for a store..it's quite big..

Not really big. It only slightly wider than the 600 x 600 floor tiles from the picture - 675 I reckon.

I was only active in mid 2011

Sarawak. Many natural resources, KL city, many middleman.

I extend follow the most front wall line, not sure if it makes any different in price but TNB original wire must remain their original one, must be visible from outside.

Aiyo, I kena slaughter

Learning about Water

Went around searching for water purifiers. Need to install this to my house water system as water in washing machine turns my clothes yellow
So I combed through some of the thread in this forum and went around asking some suppliers.
So this is my findings

there is 2 main types water purifiers, POU and POE

POE (Point Of Entry)
Outdoor Water Purifier - Sand, Membrane and Ceramic type.

Often mentioned brands in Lowyat Forum:-
Bacfree - British Technology (long history), one of the very first water filter supplier in malaysia, most expensive sand filter in malaysia that I've come across so far.
GE - NSF Cert - The most expensive fiber casing sand filter i've encountered so far
3M - Has NSF elements but not NSF cert (as far as I know)
Perfect Steel - Popularised by forum member zheilwane. Has NSF stickers on some of their product range but what that entails.. I dunno

POU (Point of Use)
Indoor Water Purifier - located in kitchen for drinking water purpose.
many types of water system, energy, Reverse osmosis, alkaline etc etc etc..

Often mentioned in Lowyat forum:-
Amway - NSF Certified
Coway - a brand often mentioned by coway's mlm members here. ... Here is something i discovered - NSF Certified range of product not avalaible in malaysia at the moment except maybe one model that does not appear on their malaysian website and sold through retail. betcha they dunno that.
3M - NSF Certified
Tupperware - NSF Certified
Bacfree - Ceramic filter only but they claims that all the SIRIM lab uses their filter an so far no bacteria found.

All the above uses 3 main technology

Reverse Osmosis, Membrane and Ceramic.


NSF International, formerly known as the National Sanitation Foundation, a non-profit organization which provides research and education in the field of public health and safety
For the standard of purified water NSF seems to be the oft referred to standard.

Googled around and found this 2 useful website

1. basic information about water filter
http://www.about-water-filters.com/index.html

and a breif summarization on what NSF is
http://www.about-water-filters.com/nsf-certification.html

2. NSF listing , a search database by NSF of all the "tested and certified" product.
If its ain't here its bogus
http://www.nsf.org/certified/dwtu/



NSF certified products seems to carry a lot of weight and has to meet strict standards, if not they can lose the cert then shame lor....
NSF logo is used by many companies but read the fine print ... "follow/exceed/adhere to NSF standard"... talk only, must get "NSF xx Certified"
NSF certified product - Damm expensive except for 1 brand which the supplier discontinued


Btw, I am going for a non NSF certified products
