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" , 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 so photo below are the hose, 6"PVC and 8" PVC for my ducting hole opening preparation



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


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

Nope bro, it is one of the room in my house, my house is a 4 rooms single storey semi-d, that is why the design layout like that . Reno+fill house + everything budget RM60K but now already overshoot like no tomorrow haha

Yalo n usually double story will double up the price as u have more space to "play"

haha, didnt scare u la, the value is from my friend one btw, wiring, KC, paint, plaster ceiling, lights and eletrical appliances, toilet thingy furniture for all rooms, almost gone lor the $..... I left car porch tiling for future work, since it is at outside

haha icic, i tot inside give u without tiles wa, terkejut teo bro give punya tiles all cantik one ur given one is 2ft or 1.6ft tiles?

ya lor, I also felt disappointed with the workmanship, u complain to ah teng?

I saw from cari also, those from puncak malim they also ask for compensation due to delay of delivering the key, mine one they damn slow in repair defect, drag me 1 month only start! until I beh tahan, call them frequently cuz they drag my reno too

Sure bro!

budget heavily rely on what u want to do also, do the compulsory first, those can do it later (like outside) then do it later, I do wish to make all in 1 shot, but cant tahan haha, dompet tak cukup tebal

Reno updates:

Painting work

For painting work, I buy the paints myself then engage to a painter to paint my interior house, because after some quotation, it is cheaper for me to get the paints myself and the painter do agree with it, so I just go ahead for the purchase of paint.

Fortunately, when I purchase the paints, ngam ngam ICI is doing offer and have lucky draw for every purchase of 20L (either 1 tong 20L or 4 Tong 5 liter will entitle for that). Not bad to get some KFC, Jusco vouchers and also some free gift as below



After settled down all the plaster ceiling works, then started my painting work. I manage to take the photos with almost the same angles for all process, from before developer paint the wall, after developer painted the wall n then my own painter painted the wall

Hehe thanks a lot will post the grill photos soon

Actually I do considering the purpose of room as well in order to select the color, also considering the color of furniture, curtain and also lightining, therefore I avoid darker tone as it looks cram, btw color and lighting are very subjective according to personal preference

Ah Yian from Melaka

I think not necessary paradox=good, there are other brands which are reliable as well I go for paradox because seeing my fren's house who r using cap ayam brand, always triggered by false alarm and do not have the GSM and remote control module to control the alarm via gsm phone, so end up go for the well known paradox save my time for that, already PMed u the price

Just tell them the wiring for alarm, then they will know, it is a sort of multi cores wires for DC device one, btw my alarm wiring is done by my alarm installer instead of wireman (as both of them know each other) btw pls check ur PM:)
