Yes, cause there chances of the concrete resting on the soil may loose up. And concrete will crack. If the floor is already RC then no need.

I will hack and re-tile the floor of whole car porch...I am wondering whether the previous floor has steel underneath or not...

Just started guard+gate last month.  flex.gif
Going to be fenced soon, I think (saw the building material on the roadside)

It's good...because I saw your house door and gate also don't have....

The thief broke into my house around 6-8 times during my renovation period...they stole the steel metal or any other things that can be sold...even my wire also been cut once...nightmare gone...plan to move in during school holiday.....hopefully...

Yup that is exactly wat i m planning to do...i have started talking to contractors.and i realised it is really not easy man...

Now my contractor telling me there are leakages from the roof...he suggested that i also consider repairing / replacing the tiles on the roof, wonder how much would it cost...

Bro Phoenix, are u doing anything to your roof? if yes, mind letting me know estimated cost?

I replaced whole roof tiles for RM3000 including labour...

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

I see..

I didn't know such problem...when I saw all new houses also using normal cement, so I just followed...

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

I am so regret to rely TOP TEN too much...I bought pillar lights at TOP TEN...the biggest size they have is only 12"..They never told me there is 14" in the market but they don't have stock..Recently I found 14" in a shop near my house and it is exactly same design with cheaper price..and I found that the shop also selling the fencing light with the colour I love which TOP TEN don't have...

At that time, i feel REGRET~
