Ground floor


First floor



Here the laundry area during weekday, and hanger installed by myself. Of course using Makita rotary drill . Weekend, we will use the rear balcony we extend on first floor.



I'll advice don't get the China made ceiling laundry. Very chepo design. Should have gotten the more expensive version (think come from Taiwan)

Bro r u on 3 Phase power?

whats the load that this kind of hanging ceiling laundry can take ?

those steel cables "looks" , "unconvincing" ,

Single phase, but i split it into 2 zone, if you notice i have two ELCB, one floor each. If in future I need to use 3 phase, i will just one phase for 1st floor, and 2 phase for 2nd floor. Not much major hacking. Maybe from front parking porch to my main door will do.

Added on December 7, 2011, 9:39 amNot sure about zheilwane filter, you got to check the inlet hose. This 3M don't use any screw, just lock the hose.

For the DB box casing, my contractor choose this plastic casing. I wanted the Metal casing but too bad it was out of stock (He and me source) for that period of time. Metal is better and can be paint over.


The hanging rod is hung from the ceiling, does it swing during operation? (When you hang the clothes hanger on to the rod)
- So far ok, swing a bit but not too bad. Installation is not cheap, RM 120 i think. But I saved it and install myself
- But this specific model i got from (Xam-Max), i think is clone China made, the instruction menu and the actual product vary too much.

Bro..on the 3 phase...how many airconds do u have ? Cos the reason i plan to upgrade to 3 phase is that I will be having 5 airconds...but most of the time only 3 running simultaneously..do u think i need to upgrade to 3 phase?

Hehe, i got 6 A/C 1 x 2hp, 1 x 1.5 HP inverter, rest are 1hp normal. and 2 x Storage water heater. I don't switch on all the a/c everyday. Mainly 1 at night maybe 2 if i have guest. Storage water heater random on and off. But usually manually switch off in morning.

Depend on your max load, and planing to have what continues load. 3P is good, but using power that required 3P will be like RM 400+- electric bill per month

I have try switch on all the 6 AC for 1/2 hours without problem, but of course that is the only load all other equipment were off.

may i know the whole renovation project cost you how much?

A lot.

Added on December 7, 2011, 1:35 pmNormal laundry load should be ok. Is steel cable. Easily 20kg per side. Most important is the mount is properly secure.

That's how I did my previous house reno too, old area without 3 phase so just split incoming into 2 DBs for each floor of the house.

You can calculate your peak load pretty easy, one horse power is 3.1A. You use the equation of P = VI, rearrange (wattage divided by 240 = current consumption). Basically by splitting into 2 DBs your MCCB should be able to handle the current going through the boxes. The only problem you might need to be worried of is your electrician using cables that are sized for such current.

And very nicely done reno, I applaud your perseverance and hardwork! And I think your reno bill might come out close to the price you paid for the house, haha!

Thank you.

Hehe, i think it was 12 or was it 14mm cable. Good to handle up to 60Amps. Until it blow the TNB fuse But I won't be running that much of current. I don't want to pay so much to TNB.

Is it not convenient to reveal the renovation cost ?

Too much to count. Is more than 1/2 the cost of my house.

issit cheaper compare to buying a brand new house.. after calculating all the reno cost, buying house cost.. , if cheaper, its very much worth it, cos u choose everything u like during the reno process..

After all the reno and my purchase price in 2010, is still cheaper than a basic house now same location and same dimension.
