Added on July 4, 2012, 11:33 ami hv received many question why plaster first..since not many main contractor not willing to do this, or they do not know this and not will to do this, i will reveal the reasons here for house owner:

Why Plaster first then wiring and plumbing:

Below are the reasons why plaster first then cut the plaster wall for wiring and plumbing (when we have already plaster, then we can know / ‘agak’ the depth to out the wiring &plumbing inside the wall):

1. To avoid the wiring socket and plug to deep or to ‘timbul’. When these happened your socket and plug no nice and difficult to install.
2. To avoid the water outlet and stop cock to deep or to ‘timbul’. This to avoid problem when to install the ‘kepala paip’ and maintenance of stop cock (difficult to replace rubber inside the stop cock if to deep inside the wall). Moreover if to deep or to ‘timbul’ not nicer when tile is install.
3. These also avoid too much red brick is being hack, this can reduce your wall strength. If plaster first, Sometime only the plaster layer only need being hack or remove and the red brick is not remove. Compared to install the wiring and plumbing before plaster, you have to remove portion of red brick.

Hope you understand.

hi bro ginming,


TQ...previously i looking for the autoclean function..after survey only pacifica has the autoclean function...i do know about fortile or other brands...

the brand is Pacifica..my hood,hob and oven all pacifica..some other dealer claim that the autoclean will cause inside of hood rusty..from my study show no problem as the pacifica inside use stainless steel for their parts.....we fill the reservoir with water+cleanser such as Glo..then push the autoclean...they use water injector ..similar mechanism as car fuel injector......every day after cook (advisable one per day) i just push the autoclean button and system will clean itself....and the residue will come out at the container... that all...the water reservoir can store water for 3 days or 4 days cleaning...so after 3 or 4 days you refill full the resevoir...

if you want to buy..go to HQ at Pacifica HQ at Kota Damansara..look for James very nice guy and handsome also..hahaha..if you want his number i can you...

http://www.pacifica.my/?page_id=1075

again i m not promoting brand..

i would second white horse selayang, excellent selection at excellent price

Auto cleaning = no oil cooking. No hood in the market can go without human cleaning, is just matter how heavy house owner use it. If just for streaming than is ok.

yes there is..i m heavy cooking and oily cooking...with the autoclean hood..resolve all my problem...

bro,

do you have a name of the grill wall plug? the pic is not so clear.

Its being soooo fun of reading this threat.

hi Tom, need your advise pls.
Am having headache of my kitchen design and planning for renovation soon.
Refer to the floor plan attached. Am thinking of below few options but not sure
which option to choose, can you pls give some advise?

My options / thinking as below:
1. Remove the utility room and extend the kitchen, the utility room is half wall only.
2. Renovate the yard area(beside utility room) become the wet kitchen,
but this will be more cost right? To have dry and wet kitchen saperately.
Not really like this coz the toilet and the room will be very dark.
3. Extend the kitchen till the bathroom window only, so the toilet and room won't be dark
4. Do not do anything at utility room and yard, dry and wet kitchen combine
as per existing.

This is new double story house.
Please also calculate for me the estimated cost base on your advise of which option to choose.

i suppose the pic is clear... ....if i can remember the wall plug name is 'K Screw'....its the name only got screw..actual no screw just drill and hammer the wall plug...the wall plug and the nail is attached together...but do be careful at tile area do not over hammer else...your tile break...

...after this this will delete the pic...

good luck bro

Any of you here have any suggestion or advise are most welcome.

hi ginming,


this just my opinion...

actually the first is the budget...if you have small budget go for item 4...the existing kitchen divide in 2 dry kitchen and wet kitchen..but a little small lah....if got budget go for item 3...

my opinion is like this...(this option is if you want to maintain the guest room)

extend your yard becoming wet kitchen...your guest room now become dry kitchen...shift the toilet at back beside the utility room on ...expand your utility room , now become guest room...so you got dry and wet kitchen..you got your toilet share with guest room and wet kitchen..you also got your guest room..

the cost is :

1. to expand the yard (from your diagram if not mistake 10x12 ft) = RM14400 (include all excerpt Kitchen cabinet)
2. Shift your toilet to back RM 2000-RM2500
3. Hack the uility room RM600

TQ

Just wondering, if you got with option 3, what is that extra little space for? Will there be a door to the other extra land on the right (behind guest room)? if yes then you cant really put anything at the small extended space. I mean by extending that bit of a space, you will incur wet work cost, tiling and lighting and such, but the incremental of the space isnt much. Just wondering that's all

Thanks tom for the grill plug/screw.
I plan to have 2nd stainless steel tank place above my concrete slab. Will the water getting hot as it directly exposed to sun?

you are welcomed....about tank..yes..certainly it hot.....if want save money just use poly tank..


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


today i m baik hati to give one more simple tip:

Painting:

Ensure that your wall plaster has fully dry before paint else you will regret later...many man contractor they immediately after 1 or 2 days of plaster, they paint cause they want save manpower 'kong'..
