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

hahaha...high five...my husband budget also RM60k. LOL. But i told him quite impossible as everyone seems like overbudget...

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

aiyoyo...u dont scared me liao la...
now we only concentrate doing...car porch tiling, backyard for simple landscaping, kitchen, living and dining room, and master bedroom and the toilet... other 3 bedroom leave it as it is first..

ur 60k is for whole house and all the bedrooms, etc?

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

true also..my husband also said concentrate on interior as we are going to stay IN, not OUT. but then basic tiling will do la..coz current one is cement only le...

huh? inside give u cement only?

nola..car porch is cement.. inside is tiling of course. big one somemore. so no worries and not going to change also.

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?

alamak...i duno le..hahhaa...wait i go back and check..
but then thier workmanship is not good as expected la. met the site supervisor last weekend to complaint again.
to my surprise, the site supervisor looks so young..i wonder if he has experience..

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

my site supervisor there is Kelvin. Even my backdoor (kitchen door) knob also kena curi. and my all my sinks all without the paip one. all kena curi. so they got to replace for me. and i showed him all the bad bad workmanship and he know says..OK OK..i will rectify for you.

i said i disappointed la...i asked is it because you guys have lots of projects to cover, thats why cincai do?

you know what, i heard from neighbourhood in phase 1 saying that the developer late in delivering the house key for 5 months. and developer got to compensate them. and they did get the compensation la...but my phase...on time pulak...

Nice sharing! Keep us posted

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

nice color...

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
