Wonder why, thought I have reply but my post went missing.

Anyway, nope is not 16', is 13'+. Depend how deep is your parking porch. Mine not so deep so need some maneuver. I drive a big sedan, my wife a Myvi.

If you still in renovation state and want to change all floor tiles is good to do it. I did not do the entire perimeter because some area of flooring I retain. And smart enough they come from the area I did not put. Ah well if we have problem just faced it and fix it.

I plan to buy some from Australia, since I have friend coming into Malaysia frequently from Australia.

Better to inform your left and right neighbour regarding the termites. Ask them to do treatment together.

Otherwise it will craw back to your side once you're clean but neighbour infected. It is also good for you to widen your protect coverage.

Already told my neighbor on my left, the right neighbor seldom see the owner is rented out. But since I am using baiting system is actually good for them because the baiting system will kill the entire colony. According to the staff one colony usually cover few houses and mine the unlucky owner that the termite came out. Maybe is lucky since it only started at my store room.

yeah hafta strip all tiles coz bad termite infestation until roof oso need to replace...bank account really bleed

i think it crawled from neighbour's place when they do treatment..aih

i think baiting alone not foolproof n hence ur yearly to diy is a good idea

Last weekend the technician came for the 3rd visit, is about 8 weeks, and still using the same baiting. Termite did not eat all. But the sign of termite are gone.

Inside the bait, no more activity.


Here the other bait, also no more activity.


The other earlier damaged box also no more activity.


Look like the termite came up from my store room door. This is the only door intag during my renovation. I did not renovate the store room and change the door. See the two holes.

Should you change all the wood that been infected? Incase some will smell back to their nest.

Not required. Actually if the damage are minimal is good to remain because the old colony smell is there and new colon won't come in when it detect other colony is there.

Yeah.. The ID is Wei Kee & Wife.

May I know approximately how much cost incurred in getting permit from MBPJ for kitchen extension (one storey)?

Hi bro weikee

Get some tips from you can. I buy wood shelve from IKEA and want to paint so easy to wipe dust. Use shellac is best or u can recommend something better? Can give tips how to do it for dummy?

Thank you

Was super free today so I went through your whole reno journey from page 1!
Hahaha
Good job man, hats off for all the effort you and your wife put into the whole project.

Sorry just found out did not respond to you question.

I don't know on 1 story extension, i did mine close to 5k if I remember. With RM 1k of Bin fees, and Few hundreds for the "Cukai Pintu"

Sorry been very busy in work, no time to write. I use polyurethane wood sealer after I stain the wood.

Have not try big wood, but I stain the Ikea Standing chair.

Thank you.

No worries mate. Seriously had nothing better to do the entire day, so I guess I really learnt some new stuff. Hope it will come in handy when I'm ready to get my own house in a couple of years.
