teobros. yea. the workmanship getting lousier. wondering because of they has lots of projects to do...so cincai do..  mad.gif
mine too...submitted the complaint letter before cny. dont know if they already rectified or not as i also dont chase them.  tongue.gif

where is your location ?? i see teobros nowadays punya design is all the same for few location. hahaha..
i am now also planning for renovation....but not extensive one la. interior structure will remain the same.  sweat.gif just still figuring out how to do for my backyard as i have 15'' empty "land" at the back..want to extend full....no money pulak  doh.gif

Near bukit katil biggrin.gif Yeah, I heard TeoBros is good but now can felt the bad, however, all depends on luck la, according to the developer fella, my row the subcon is malay and the workmanship not so good. However, I compared my house with other developer one (like metacorp) I can see the differences, at least Teobros one they do not have a silly defect like your house out of shape, the wall is not perpendicular, the gaps between tiles more than 3mm etc, but at least teobros giving out good things like the tiles, and also the gate is much better than other developer, so overall considered ok, but the workmanship still sux LoL they are top among sux perhaps.

where is ur location hellokitty82? I also thinking to do extension and end up give up because of budget issue and also land structure, I prefer to have some land behind my house biggrin.gif

i have 15'' empty "land" at the back. it is too big for me. thought of extend a bit for wet kitchen maybe. as the kitchen inside the house not that big. rolleyes.gif

so you have started planning your renovation, looking for suppliers, etc??? after i read people here giving comments, only I know planning renovation also needs so much knowledge and time. ohmy.gif maybe will just look for one person to handle the whole process, so anything go wrong...can held him responsible brows.gif

Reno Update:

After all wiring hacking done, then proceed to plaster ceiling works as below

user posted image
Same as per wiring, canvas remain for protection, plaster ceiling work damage the tiles most for me because they never ever bother to take care the house, just wan to complete the work fast and easy, so when they setup the steel frame, just very kasar to drag the steel frame around, luckily still got some protection of canvas to minimize the damages

Just have a chance to snap some photos before they start the work next day, the right hand side one is Chou Gan (草根)that the contractor called, used to hold the plaster ceiling to make it stronger and harder, it is a must for all plaster ceilings as claimed by the contractor

Plaster powder and also selected cornice

Thousands of screws biggrin.gif

yeah bro, nice to meet you, I didnt remove my existing old ceiling, just add on the plaster ceiling from the existing one, your house will be cooler if you are doing such way, as double heat insulation. It is too hassle and no point to remove the existing one because I didnt see any advantages by removing it except ceiling height concern. Secondly, if you are using downlight with cover, insects are lesser as well (still have of course).

what is ur ceiling height?

Is plaster ceiling a kind of gypsum board? Kind of heavy?

Anyone has a different kind of ceiling installed... like a wooden kind?

10 ft still consider high bro, typically plaster ceiling will eat up 6inch or more, my ceiling is 11ft, after plaster ceiling is about 10 ft 5inch, for my living room, it will be lower because I wan cover some beam with cornice, so it is about 9ft 8inch like that

Nope, gypsum board is gypsum board, plaster ceiling board is mixture of chou gan + plaster powder.

Plaster ceiling is also made of plaster(plaster of Paris/calcium sulphate), but mixed with glass fibre.
Timber ceiling is nice only if you have a high ceiling. But it is expensive.
Plaster ceiling is the cheapest. White ceiling makes a room appear more spacious.

Renovation update: Fotile ducting hole opening and wet concrete top work

It is a pain ass for me because for fotile hood, we need to open 7" ducting hole and not the typical 6" brows.gif, after consult zheilwane, I told my contractor to open the 7" hole accordingly. The most difficult part for me to open this hole is actually to purchase a 8" PVC pipe, because either not available or they have to sell in whole batang of 10 meter etc... in which I only need 1 ft, so after hunting around in my area, finally I found the 8" PVC and able to purchase only 1ft hehe.

After that I show my contractor the hose and tell him I wan to fit the 8" PVC with the fotile hose as in the photo below, my contractor said "Thats easy, cut it and use wire to ikat, then put silicon to seal back, once dried up, can put into ducting hole d biggrin.gif so photo below are the hose, 6"PVC and 8" PVC for my ducting hole opening preparation

user posted image

The yellow line is actually the place where my contractor cut the PVC then mod to 7" :hehe

user posted image
After pasang to the wall, this is how the ducting hole looks like, you still can see there is a line over there.

My wet kitchen is pretty small, so wet work for concrete top also very simple biggrin.gif
