Yeah I saw that house also, push all the way to the back..good at least some people are planning to move in..but i wonder if the person got permit yet from majlis? also, he took out the grille shared with the neighbour...we can't remove without neighbours permission right? or just gangster remove hahahahah
*
My gut feeling tells me that particular house didn't get permit for that kind extreme renovation.
Must leave 5' space at the back, rite?

I also considering to extend the back area but noticed there's a manhole there. Not sure it's ok to cover it permanently or not. If cannot then that's the limit that can extend.

Should be in Jan 2014.

About 4 months to wait for Areca.... thumbup.gif

By that time, the shops should be almost ready too.

If not mistaken, there'll be new launch around December. I heard la, not sure what type of house.

I think 5 months seem to be more realistic. I am still looking around to see if anyone post a good review on a good contractor to do grills and kitchen renovation. rclxub.gif

Usually good contractors have lots of jobs on hand. They can demand higher charges. And they don't waste time on small jobs.

Other than forums, we can just drop by neighboring units which are undergoing renovations. Check their work, their workers, ask for quotes directly. Who knows we may get it cheaper because they just have to move their workers and tools from one house to another.

Some house owners do not like others copy their ideas...
If can, meet the house owners first, then ask permission to enter their house..

I did that too last time too...haha..

Going by the price set by KLK for its new launch (as mentioned) RM520,000 for 20x70 link home, ie. 1,400sg. Ft. land, the price of semi-d should have exceeded RM1 million. In addition, semi-d carries a premium over link homes and the price per sg. ft. should be higher even.

The big layout and modern design of the Banyan semi-ds and its freehold status should command strong attention from buyers.

Supreme,
I like yr first sentence... laugh.gif
I'm waiting for it ...

Papadon said it, not many want to pay 1m......which is true, looking at the current market..


One is market value, the other one is market rate.

It takes some transactions to push up the price. Be patient. biggrin.gif

If openly burning rubbish then it's a small matter. Kg folks do that all the time.

If the burning smoke comes from palm plantation, it could be done by KLK themselves or Sime Darby. These big companies owe the land around that area.

For that, need to report to MDKS. Hope something positive could be done.

Oops...now only I realized, a typo @ my previous post....own not owe* ..sorry..

Well, KLK was accused of open burning at their palm plantation in Indonesia a few months ago.
They denied doing so. Hope they're telling the truth and don't commit the same crime on our own soil.

Well, for Bandar Seri Coalfields, KL-Kepong should be the no. 1 interested party to complain on this matter, right?

On the other hand, if indeed they are involved for some unknown reason, then nearby residents and home owners of BSC should not be bothered at all but just submit your complaint. Cc your mail to the Prime Minister if need be. Kuala Selangor is under BN and Najib should maintain the citizens' support.

Should get proof first lor..

Sime Darby also one of the suspects in Indon open burning that caused the haze not so long ago.

Not sure if any open burnings are still happening around BSC...
I have not noticed any bad smell or dust during my visit there though..

Haha.. Playground? It is very small. And is there another one at Banyan? I didn't see any. If there is, it must be too small to be considered a 'playground'. A playground or padang is of decent size for running or walking. When it is made extremely small like that in BSC, one will be made to walk and turn around in small circles till perhaps see stars!

There are some sitting areas and small playpens.
*
Banyan playground very small, can even ignore it. If want to walk or run, go around the houses lah.
Lots of slopes and corners. Roads are wide.

My friend also moving in after basic renovation is done, by end of the year too. Banyan owner.

Myself? Not so soon...my daughter's school is just 1km from my current home, no point moving to BSC yet. biggrin.gif

I find that odd extension of the house is ugly. If space is a concern, get a bigger unit afterall renovation cost is not cheap. If not done properly u will see cracks appearing in just a year or two.

A dry and wet kitchen can be nice if they're separated by a sliding door. Cooking time just close the door. It's important to install a good hood plus an exhaust fan in the wet kitchen. And big windows.


eumoramaniac,
If u want to know more about renovation stuff, u may check out the other forum, Home Renovations and Interior Design. biggrin.gif

If you install kitchen hoods, it helps to filter smell, oil vapour and cooking gas but after awhile, thick layers of sticky oil residues accumulate in the hood and that requires frequent cleaning. Germs grow in the duct too, and then travel to the external parts and may even drop into the cooking pot. You need to replace the duct itself but meanwhile, you may be cooking up worms in your dishes.
Commercial sellers  talk only about the need to clean the hood but mention nothing of what happens during the intervals. Steams can't kill these organisms but irritate them to drop. Just read up wikipedia on hood cleaning, use basic knowledge to read deeper and figure out the unspoken truth.  Apply this thinking skill to all other things. Then decide: can you do without these commercial products?
Additional note:
Standard kitchen top is around 32" to 34" high and the hood is about 2 ft above it to be effective at suction. This brings to a total of 54" (4.5 ft.). Anyone 5 ft tall and above can be hit if you bend your head forward while cooking. Commercial advertisements seek to create an untrue picture that everyone has accepted these without any problem, the so called 'in-thing'. If you are not for them, you haven't reached the standard yet. So most people keep the mishaps to themselves thinking that they are inapt at using them.
*
With hood, u get germs and worms in your food.
Without it, then cook under the sky? Flies and birds fly past aso....how?
If cook indoor without hood, very messy leh.

Ya, cleaning the hood is important. Frequent cleaning that is. And also do keep the hood switched on for a while even after u finish cooking.

I'd rather put the hood higher than to accidentally hit it. If put too low, how to use bigger pots or wok over the stove? doh.gif there's a standard distance recommended ..I follow that.

The more equipped the kitchen the less used.
