Hi bro,

PM me if want advised..i m not an expert in renovation...but maybe i can advised what that i know.
=============================================================================================

below is my latest DIY (small project when i got extra time) changed my alpha water heater (my existing not renovated house infront) that fault after more that 10 years working. I hv change to latest panasonic brand (want to try panasonic brand DC inverter silent)...this panasonic is so advanced. I had to exposed the wire cause, the wiring is to low..not fully finish touch up yet.. i had to put the shower handle to right cause tight space and wire exposed on the left side. I had changed also the pipe inlet using faucet bought at DIY and replaced the pvc pipe to Stainless steel flexi pipe also bought at DIY. I like the DIY shop. Time taken about 3 hours, remove the old alpha , cleaned all the carbon built up at the wire (cause by AC pump) and installed the new panasonic.

so toilet seats are just mounted on floor with bolt & nut + silicone? not using cement and require hacking to remove?

what are the disadvantages for RC flat roof. i can either do roof tiles or RC flat roof. aiks dilemma.

the extension will occupy by 4G kitchen cabinet though

to be safe how about both flat roof and tiles above? i know that's double job & cost but you don't need to worry too much as the roof acts as 1st defense against water leak while the flat roof acts as a security defense.

do we still need to do water proofing on the flat roof if do both flat roof and tiles?

if you aren't worried about roof tile leaking then no need.

but note, your house will be warmer with a flat roof below roof tile, compared to just roof tile alone.

but you can install ventilation to reduce the issue. also put thermal insulating films below the tiles.
