woops, I meant wooden floor

Well, wood is still wood. Feeling is difference, and cozy.

Your place all cleaned up already.
Self service or get external help?

I ask my wet work contractor came in clean all the rough things. Than later I clean the detail things myself slowly. Wall still dirty, getting cleaner/maid next week to do it after Acid stain is done.

pretty hard for me to buy acid over here, KL area easy or not?

What i mean on "Acid Stain" is staining the concrete to difference color.

You need Acid for cleaning, go to hardware shop and buy.

o0o0, sorry for misunderstand, I went few hardware shop locally, all said tak ada jual after the "acid case" LoL

Where is your place?

Your kitchen sliding door, I

Kitchen will be more an issue, the white grount in my toilet planing to seal it with silicon / Arcylic.

I use normal plaster ceiling. I ask my contractor before, he say make sure got good air circulation no problem.

Got final invoice from Kitchen cabinet, no extra FOC for the extra big handle. Now got to go make final payment.


Acid stain is almost done. Need to stain another color for the thick border, neutralized, and seal it.


After stained and cut This is how it look when is dry


When is wet.



Before and After (wet)

Kitchen? Why kitchen? Bathroom is usually less ventilated I thought. Kitchen grout can seal with silicon/arcylic too and can find this in any hardware shop?

Need to pinjam your brain a bit on lighting as I am a complete noob here. The old house I am staying in is using the old fluorescent light. As I know, it comes like this

Can just buy the t5 and pasang or have to replace the whole thing including fixture base? I see that nowdays shops selling very nice set with decorative cover but not sure if I can buy this and pasang t5 energy saving. Need better or more reliable base (this one no brand)? Or ballast component is most important?

What is this called for carporch flooring? concrete imprint?

T5 need entire new fixture, you need to buy one set, very slim.

Added on November 27, 2011, 3:19 pmIs natural concrete/cement color. Not imprint. Is reaction of acid and cement. Called acid stained. Very popular in US. Got many difference color too.

If I gave the budget will do my internal house ground floor too. No tiles cause very boring.

Depend the design, if you have cutting and difference tone will be more expensive.
