QUOTE(PangurBan @ Apr 19 2014, 06:35 PM) The staircase very retro. But it doesn't seem to lead anywhere? Just go up the wall? How I wish to have a futuristic modern staircase, but just a conventional single-backbone. It cost more than double or more. Some 2 inches of wood planks will be embedded inside the wall to increase the strength. [attachmentid=3940959] As for the TV area plugs, I really have no idea why the contractor can misread the measurement and did wrong twice! Finally got it right this time. [attachmentid=3940963] It have 6 plugs, a tv antenna and one more for a bunch lot of wires.... This post has been edited by cheeshion: Jun 22 2014, 05:16 PM

What steps are you taking to insulate the mezzanine floor from heat build-up?

But I will try to avoid single-backbone staircase which is a bit flimsy. May be it is only flimsy due to my body size. Gagagagagag

So far the heat level is still acceptable. Mezzanine's ceiling height is already 9ft, good enough space for air circulation.

Even on railing at the edge, it has enough space to move any big furniture.

Gagagagagag Thanks. It looks solid for now, with some weight transfer to wall support the staircase is more sturdy.

For my Unigate, 18ft long at 6ft high, in UA design, with total 5 remotes and 3 years warranty, and number plate, it cost 16k. It is useful with instalment payment for the balance. You may try to negotiate with the sales person to get best deal, if you are really interested for a trackless folding gate. Else, there are plenty of cheaper versions. All the best in your renovation shopping. I'm ending it soon...

Turned an existing older house into something very modern and nice and can last a good 30-years. Your Mezzanine floor looks very cool This post has been edited by cfa28: Apr 25 2014, 01:17 PM

A few requests did ask about draftman, let me answer it over here.
I got contact of my draftman from MPKlang office, as I went to the counter and ask for help to fill up all the forms. Found out I needed an engineer endorsed drawing for the front and rear concrete top extension, but I still passed up the application documents pending on drawing. My draftman only took 3 days, and sent the drawing to my place for signature, best part was the draftman sent the drawing the MPK herself. In total, I paid RM600 for the drawing.
My draftman contact: okia_c@hotmail.com 0126946273 (I forgot her name...)

Basically you need to get the draftman that have contact with MP*/DB**, this will reduce the time from submit till get approved. Also, "sure" pass(as long as you don't do something illegal or too obvious)

QUOTE(monkey9926 @ Apr 13 2014, 11:01 PM) After seeing photo of your gate, how much it cost for the imitation? Personally, I find it weird for the gate pillar colour with the gate combination. Maybe a grey pillar can match better???

After spending so much time, doing home works, purchasing and planning, I can be a pro this time. But, fortunately unfortunate these experience only use once! I don't think I want to get into this experience in near future...

Strategic location, this is the answer. Within 2km radius, I can get to in-law's place, all-level of schools from kindergarden to secondary school, dry and wet market, all types of food, and even hospital (but private lah). From the news of 3rd phase LRT extension, it may get near to my place too. Ok what...
