What are you guys' opinion on the intermediate Legian units not having any windows in their bathrooms?
*
I actually gave this some serious thought before buying a unit then. A window in the bath would be a really great addition but i guess the built-in fan or whatever you call it seems to be enough to dehumidify/de-heat the bath. And the reason it wasn't built next to walls facing outside for the windows is so the rooms can be bigger

I wonder if it is possible to get some light in via an addition of a skyroof  hmm.gif. Would be better to get some natural light in to further the idea of Ken Rimba being a eco-green house.
*
Hmm,not quite sure on that because I don't have the blueprint yet to see if that is possible. But would need some serious reno to make it possible I guess! Let me know if you happen to find any way to bring in some natural light smile.gif

It basically sacrifices family hall space for larger rooms. Some may like it, but do you want your children to have leave their room to access their toilet?
Not sure if got lightwell for toilet. I spoke to the SA and he said no show unit available for legian.
*
Yeah, pros and cons...need to sacrifice some to get something....some may find it a hassle to have toilets in rooms as well coz kids may forget to unlock the door for the other room to access. I think the show unit for legian was taken down and they built the jimbaran show unit at the same site because they need to launch it.

The last time I checked with them, one unit entitle to 8 access cards. One card is RM50 (or RM100 I forgot)... Not sure about stickers. I will go to verify defects that have been fixed this weekend. Maybe I will go ask about the stickers. smile.gif
*
Quick question yah, do they give us a few cards FOC and if we need more, we'll pay RM50 for each additional ones? Or is it rm50 per card right off the bat? Pretty expensive though.....

Mind sharing what are the defects you found in your house so we may pay more attention to it when it's our turn to check? I asked the SA on what will be included in the repairs but he just mentioned to write down any defect and they'll look at it. So if I write down minor stuff like paint not consistent, sink stains etc, will they look at it? hahaha

Thanks!

Guys wanna ask ur expert opinion. If I buy subsale but not enough cash for 10%, can I pay booking fee but remaining 97% comes from bank loan? Coz I know bank evaluation is 600k+ but purchase price is 500k+. Thanks all
*
Max loan you could get from bank is 90% so you can't loan 97% of the house price....unless u ask the owner to do like the dev do (markup and set higher price ie. 625k, then give discount 10%). That way you're loaning 100%. BUT it is very risky to trust the owner since no black and white

I went to check my unit last Saturday. Prior to this I checked no leaking in the hall from upstairs bathroom. After I tested with water from upstairs bathroom & found there is leaking. So handed in another copy of defect list to the management. Hopefully can quickly get this done.
*
Geez, seems like the leaking problem is really prevalent......mind sharing how do u flood the bathroom? Use something to block the drain and let the water pipes flow til the brim? Want to check mine too once i get the chance

Actually I didn't really use any special method. I just made the bathroom floor wet many times with tap water/shower & checked the result a few days later.
*
Sad to hear that, that's pretty bad since that means even normal usage would cause leakage to ground floor. I had previously thought the leakage can only be detected via flooding the bathroom. sad.gif

QUOTE(crazykiller @ Aug 29 2013, 11:46 AM)
Actually you can use plastic bag to block the drain , cz im also do like this .
This is better way , block it 15 mins , and u can c the outcome. Haha.

Thanks for sharing, i'll try this method. Wanna thoroughly 'banjir' my bathroom for at least 12 hrs and see the result.

Bandar Baru Klang was flooded due to this morning heavy rain. Did Ken Rimba get affected/flooded this morning?

I had the same thought this morning! Don't think Ken Rimba should be affected. However, the roads leading to it might be. :S

Hope somebody living nearby can be so kind as to confirm on this notworthy.gif

Wanna get some idea here regarding the plot of earth in the house. Is everyone planning to plant some plants there? My concern is when we water the plants, won't the water sip thru the tiles? And in the long run, will the plant's roots grow and cause damage to the adjacent tiles?

Good to know what everyone else is doing with this plot of earth!
*
Potted plants/grass probably but I don't encourage those with deep roots....else, you won't know what's going to happen in the future....plus, it may crawl to your neighbours house via underground....extra problems may arise

I think i'm just gonna either fill it up so i have a slightly bigger living room area or place rocks/pebbles to fill it......or one of those water fountain thingy laugh.gif

By the way, anybody did full extension of the kitchen? I mean, even extending the tanks area? Or is the mgt adamant on not allowing us to renovate the whole backyard hmm.gif

You can extend towards the tank area, just make sure the tanks are still there. Real bummer of rules if you ask me IMHO, considering that its your own house.

Always remember that the local council supersedes any other mgt. As long as you follow through the local council rules and don't have any roof tiles protruding out from your area, you're fine.

The pic is just after extension, tanks are back at its place.

The main concern is the mosquitoes in the area. Even though theres constant fogging going on, I don't think it will entirely solve the problem as the mosquitoes will eventually get immune to the fogging.

The root issue is with the water areas, tanks etc. It needs to be well maintained. Well, I'll give it time to see how their idea progresses before I were to make my own escalation to the relevant authorities.

Sometimes I don't see why the need for management fees when everyone sounds like they are bloody sleeping in the office!!!!!!!!!!
*
Yeah, it's a real bummer if we can't do what we want....it's individual title for god's sakes but we have to deal with the management which may change over time and doesn't even live there :S

I have no idea what is the use of the tanks at the back when we don't have a backyard to even use it with......and we already have one in front for our car washing etc. So the back one is really redundant cry.gif

I'm planning to put mosquito netting...although won't be that nice but heck, i don't want to get aedes/dengue!

Just wanna ask you guys, what defects have you guys found so far with your respective houses? Planning to inspect my house soon and would like a heads up on what to look out for.

I'm still waiting for the title change so haven't checked for defects but from what I read, water leakage is one of the major things to look out for

I spoke to the engineer over the phone this afternoon. Apparently water mark in the hall isn't caused by upstairs bathroom leakage, instead it is caused water tank leaking. The water tank is located upper to the upstairs common bathroom.

I feel it is much better to speak to the contractor engineer instead of the management office girl. This number was given by the office girl though. Ken Rimba Contractor: 0132060993

At least we can find out what is the issue that causing the defect.  Guess it will be handy to share u guys the number.

That is a very good tip! Thanks for sharing!

Just did my inspection today and just wanna share with you guys some of the defects I've found.

These are the few that I felt was quite major defects with the place. There are actually still several minor defects which I did not list here. Hope this helps with those of you who are doing their respective inspections.

TBH, slightly disappointed with the overall workmanship of the place  sleep.gif

Thanks a lot for sharing and uploading the photos jhen.

The water leakage does look pretty bad....seems like it's been there for quite some time from the stains.....curious what you did to detect the damage, did u flood the bathroom's to observe this damage or was it already there when you bought it? hmm.gif Please share some tips, if u have, to detect house defects notworthy.gif

the sales person is ken rimba staff in the sales gallery. i have asked second staff there, and i still get the same answer.  rclxub.gif

I asked the same question as well and what I understood from the staff is, if you bought it directly from dev when it is already completed, they will only repair defects for you before you collect your keys. Once the key is handed over and everything is ok, no more warranty or repairs from dev.

If you bought it when it is under con, then yes, you still have the 2 years warranty to claim. So far, i've seen people buying from sub sale still getting their warranty honored. So seems like it's buyers who bought a completed unit directly from devs are the one who 'rugi'. cry.gif

I'm planning to extend my kitchen soon too.
Did anyone extend and use the 4 feet extra to be a wet kitchen? Or did u guys break the wall entirely and use as one big kitchen with wet/dry kitchen combined?
Just worried about the smoke going into living hall if I dun separate the wet from the dry.
Appreciate all advice, thanks!
*
Exactly my dilemma right now as well....to break or not to break! I probably won't break it and just extend the additional 5 ft for a smaller wet kitchen....if u're not planning to break the walls, then u'll definitely need to get a hob for the smoke to go out....my decision would depend on what i would be quoted by the contractor smile.gif
