I also going through "big" renovation like you....mine one no deadline...until now almost 8 months...left tiles and painting...A bit tired liao...

We all given 12 months (until permit expire) you got 4 more months

If time can be reversed and let me choose one more time, I will give up on buying old house and renovate....hahaha

New house is far away. Maybe is me. I like rebuilding

Just like rebuilding used car.

I m in dilemma now. Buying new house or stay and renovate. This few month search for new house but the choice of my budget is not much unless far away. And dificult to get back the enviroment I stay now. But the good is I have a new house feeling and the new design.

While if I choose to stay, I have to renovate which the current house is getting old. My current house design is old but the living enviroment is good and nice.

completed?

take note to build wire for alarm at all windows n door. no install nevermind but wired 1st in case future want too.

this will save lots hassle.

Thank you for the advice. Got quote for alarm wiring, will be doing it once the brick are all up.

Its a good time to implement a termite prevention/elimination system.

bro, how much you pay for the bandaraya for your extension?

About 5k. Architect drawing, submission, fees.. etch, Include of 1k Deposit for bin, which i use up all. Getting refund will be hard.

Wow ... coming on nicely....

i see the workmanship of cementing is quite good huh.....good for u

Yeah, The contractor use some kind of finishing to stick on every corner before plastering. Not sure what is called, but is made of metal / aluminum. He will nail it, then make sure it straight then only do plastering. You see the edge is very smooth "the white line".

that one call angle beads & its PVC

Oh the name is "angle beads" but mine is not PVC, i am very sure cause i cut out some. Maybe the smooth surface is, but the side is not, cause i was looking and playing around with it.

Is this common now? Last time i don't see this in many of renovation site i go.
