I use the plastic sheet roof to allow light through for the laundry area to dry clothes.
I guess it will serve the same function as a zinc sheet. blush.gif

laminated flooring NO need polish & CAN NOT be polish..
Engineering board which have 2-3mm thick real wood on top can polish/ drind 1-2 time if scratched.

some solid wood floor also pre-finish but the best is grind & finish on site, u won't feel any gap/ uneven joint

I use PVC7 for my water pipes as I understand from this forum that this pipe model is strong.  flex.gif
My contractor and another plumber confirmed this. I hopes so. Good luck anyway.
my old man house, i install Grundfos Water Pump CH-PC 40 if i remember correctly, pressure @40psi all the time & added a PT tank to counter the frequent pump start/stop, cold water piping using paling class E, hot water piping = copper.

Problem free for 7 years already, except recharge the air inside the PT tank icon_rolleyes.gif icon_rolleyes.gif
so no worry nod.gif nod.gif

Renovation Extreme Work In Progress - Second Stage  tongue.gif

After living in my house for a year without cabinets, finally I decided to take the plunge.
Decided to install Cabinets.
I employed the same guy that supplied my altar because I like their handiwork.
As those who follow this thread will know, when I start , budget is tanked again  doh.gif
This time, I think I went a bit overboard (financially and design wise).  shocking.gif
So here goes :-  sweat.gif
