The sales guy said they've got the memo and new price list already. We just wait till the time and see lor...

For the Franca Fan, i think manual adjustment should be fine if it going to be used in the wet kitchen area where the action are.
You have shortlisted an assortment of fans model and brand. We are spoiled for choice and could be a headacehe in choosing the correct ones. Will look forward to your review on the fans chosen.  
Air-con, the reason for not choosing the electricity saving inverter types? Is it due to you low usage or you have a particular reason?...tks!

do u shifted bathroom of master bedroom?
shift mean move the whole bathroom to another place.

merry christmas. how much ur grill cost alredy

Although it's named as 'security door', but nothing is 100%, even the seller would tell you the same.
However, we are just adding more barrier features to make it harder for the intruders. Thus, our home security is basically a combination of various features.

Normally people do not install grill when they have the security door as it is already a metal which is harder to cut. Further more, it has more lock sets to secure the main lock and also the upper and bottom locks.

The door is moulded so that the lock set is hidden from outside of the door. As such, it is not expose where people couldn't reach the lock set with metal ruler or cutter.

Actually, I'm kinda curious how did you guys tell your contractor on what colour to paint on which wall?
To avoid mistakes and confusion, I've sent my contractor the following few pics, plotted out which part and which colour that I want (based on nippon paint colours brochure) . My contractor said he was amazed to see so many polka dots when he opened up the files....guess I'm the first ever client of his doing this...     









The first layer of paint was done and I'm kinda satisfied with the chosen colours accept the living room and family hall which has been painted in 'hush white'. The 'hush white' colour is too yellowish/creamy to my liking. It makes the room looks smaller and the walls were looked like those already painted for more than 10 years...
I failed to convince myself accepting the colours so I have to tell the contractor to re-paint it to another brighter colour (orchid white). I think I better change it now since it is just painted the 1st layer, rather than regretting for many years to come living in it... 

Fans and lightings installation in progress:-

Another polka dots works that I've produced. 




LED sensor spotlight for front porch and back yard.


Master bedroom with eyeballs basically as I like cosy ambience.


Upstairs family hall

The AZ e-lite 4" LED downlights is quite bright as these 2 pcs warm white alone can bright up the whole family hall, stairs and even the court yard... 

Looking good! What type of ballast you have with your led lights?

Care to share the cost of the led lights? Thank you

Hi maxxon, just came across your amazing thread. Looks like you managed to find yourself a good contractor. I am in awe watching the progress of your reno
Merry Christmas and for your lightings, do use a good mixture of daylight sensors and Hager timer switches. Can simulate ppl being home even when you are away on holiday.

love your polka dot layout
everything looking good

hoho, this is awesome. i will consider it but somehow RM2.5k is quite a number for me. does the door able to connect with your alarm system?

I noticed that your interior is using single color on each wall right?
Perhaps, you can try draw some line by paint vertically. The line can be thicker or thinner as long as you make whole wall asymmetry. If you are interested, i can pm you some photos from other forum.

Thanks for reading and following this thread.
X'mas is just over, so it's now Happy New Year!
My initial plan is to put a hager timer on the car porch downlights...hmm...after your reminder, I should consider to put one more timer on an indoor light too....for the simulation like u mentioned.
