QUOTE(vatiore @ Jul 8 2011, 03:11 PM) to extend 10feet width, take care few important point: - new footing needed, must tie together with existing to avoid sink - ask for new roof shape design how to connect to existing - u may need to upgrade electric supply from 63A to 100A (1-phase) ?   noted. |

QUOTE(sl2007 @ Jul 9 2011, 07:37 PM) 2 Footing for 10 x 60" renovation? Are you sure? as far as i know, the 2 footing is for the 10X40 expansion. there will be another 2 footing for the enlarge car porch.I think you can't re-using the old roof if you intend to stick your new design and old house... why cannot re-use the old roof?  |

QUOTE(sl2007 @ Jul 13 2011, 05:45 PM) is this all the drawings you have? this is the existing layoutAny indication/demarcation of the existing building?  Uploaded with ImageShack.us and this is the proposed layout  Uploaded with ImageShack.us please comment. as you can see, because the land is not "square", have to leave 10 feet land at the side, so the maximum i can expend is arround 10 feet at the back. Added on July 14, 2011, 8:58 pm QUOTE(vatiore @ Jul 9 2011, 06:54 PM) try to use modern design for your roof and if can use hidden gutter since you are doing it. what do u mean by new design? any picture? i plan to use the old roof tiles mixing with new tiles for budget and also environment. Added on July 14, 2011, 9:00 pm QUOTE(driftmeister @ Jul 11 2011, 12:05 AM) looks like a peaceful area with forest just behind. I like! its a abandoned rubber estate.  Added on July 14, 2011, 9:06 pm QUOTE(lizziewong @ Jul 11 2011, 05:26 PM) Single story can do 1 1/2 story, worth considering. this is also my initial idea, but due to budget.......this house is not within Klang Valley, additional investment may not improve the value of the house......  Added on July 21, 2011, 6:05 pmmore or less settled with the option B roof design, now waiting the approval n also 2nd quotation from 3 selected contractor.

QUOTE(phoenix69 @ Jul 22 2011, 03:26 PM) Yes. Termites i dislike the idea of injecting poison into the ground where i m going to live, n i m planning to plant some herbs beside the house.  I see many trees behind your house... Must do preventive and if needed curative method to protect against termite  baiting system is too expensive....still thinking.....  |
