Regarding the Tiles :-
The indoor tiles is Feruni's RA03NN 2x2
The car porch is Guocera;s SP131D 1x2

Regarding the Tiler :-
Its a relative. Usually do only projects.
Got him to tile for me as a favour. biggrin.gif
He has 30-40 years of tling work behind him. A real "sifu"
Can't give you his contact as he says not to since he is fully booked 6-8 months in advanced and will only accept jobs from his established bosses.
.... and relatives.  laugh.gif

Show you guys later what his "present" to me is...

Nowadays good tiler is not easy to find, i try find many contractor from forum..most of them want do easy and faster job.(reason : condo)
They suggest me to install the new tiles on top of existing tiles...and suggest to cut all the door...but their price is not cheap!

Finally i got 1 chinese uncle tiler that has 30 year++ experience from forum as well, and i did check with other member..worth to pay with his workmanship. He is the only 1 tell me that need to hack and remove all the existing tiles, else he wont do my job.

He not only remove the existing tiles but also hack the base cement and redo the new cement..atleast 2" thick!

Hey Bro... how about the workmanship? A good tiler is very important as some bad workmanship u can feel the tiles are not placed evenly and also senget senget... just like my friend house, when u walk on the tiles u can feel the edge is like cutting ur foot. rclxub.gif

Updates : Upgrading to 3 phase wiring.
Finally got the house wiring to 3 phase.
This was planned initially but it got delayed due to
1. The electrical wiring contractor left this final thing undone when he "disappered" (after taking the full payment  doh.gif )
2. $$$ habis, so need time to recover.  blush.gif
I thought it would be complicated but it was surprisingly easy.

Step 1: TNB Application for 3 phase upgrade
- Go to TNB and apply (I went when they have a special offer, they waive their TNB connection charges)
Note: There is 2 types of connection, overhead and underground, the overhead connection type were waived)
- Hire a qualified electrician contractor registered with TNB (TNB will give you a list for you to choose)
- The electrician will visit your house and ensure that your house wiring is ready for the upgrade (in my case, it was already done)
Step 2: Pay Bill
- The electrician will arrange for the upgrade with TNB and top up the extra deposit for you.
- You have to pay all your outstanding bills with TNB
Note: Alternatively the next TNB bill will also include the Deposit top up amount, you can pay the deposit when you pay that bill.
Step 3: Re-wiring
- TNB will arrange people to make an appointment to rewire your main line to 3 phase configuration


Note: When the meter is installed, it starts at "0000000"

Finally my house is running on 3 phase - hopefully this will allow me to turn my house in to an icebox without the fuse tripping  rclxm9.gif

Many of the terms I use here is wrong as I am not a technical man and try to explain to the best of my limited ability and understanding.

Feel free to correct any error that you see.  tongue.gif
