1x Sliding door, 2x toilet shower screen, 4x bi-fold door, one 3x7 glass door. All total 6k

I don't have the breakdown, he put in one lump some and give me discount. Originally was itemized, but in the bill is one lump sum.

weikee,

Just curious how wide is your gate (12ft?). I am still wondering what is the necessasy size for the gate in order to allow two cars to come in and out without needing to reverse any of them... Any idea?

Beside, my car porch is only 18ft long

13+ feet, Depend what depth is your parking porch, if you have 25ft, 12 to 14 feet should be good. But for mine will need to reverse, cause my car is wide, and my parking porch is about 15ft before hitting the internal hump.

My porch is also about 18ft long too. My gate is 16ft, folding design, hence the effective opening is probably about 15ft. Fits 2 cars in the porch.

I see, that is a long term decision. I am thinking to install a 12ft gate. Guess I may have to re-evaluate that.

Hehe, may not know when i am going to get a lorry or mini bus for myself .

If your renovation will touch the gate beam, than must well do it at one goes...the wide of gate is to ease the cars in / out without crash on each

12ft gate for such a short porch, you will have problems parking 2 cars side by side. I modeled my porch in a 3D program to determine minimum gate opening in order to fit 2 cars in comfortably.

Big car width is about 6.5 to 7 feet width. If you have one big one small, i would think 13feet is minimal.

any contacts for the auto gate contractor?

You have a nice main door. Unfortunately with the grill it totally block out the beauty of the door.

Thanks for the advice, I will do some calculation on that

wdarke,
Can you tell us what 3D program that u are using that can determine the size for the gate?

Bro weikee, possible to show us ur downlight without turning on the bulb??

Nice bathrooms u have there weikee. Btw, good job for covering your Johnson Suisse Lago seat cover. Sometimes the foreign workers will use the toilet bowls to do their "business" and usually they will leave yellowish marks on the seat cover.

learnt a new lesson over here, next time when I change my bowl, have to cover like that

actually i took the plastic seat cover out before they start the renovation

but if u took the plastic seat cover out, they still can sit there n do their business ma hehe, but if like weikee, the cover stick on the bowl and harder to open

Unfortunately, Safety is main priority compare to beauty.

I use Google SketchUp. It doesn't determine automatically for you, you will need to draw to scale. Google SketchUp has a huge library of models, even car models accurate in scale that you can import into the scene to help you visualize.

Google Sketchup, and also MS, Visio.

I use Visio for door location, windows, and other planing. All are measured and enter according to scale.

Icic, i was using visio as well to position the door/window and lighthing.
