Do consider using the Selcon daylight sensors too. It works abit differently from the Hager timer which is mainly time setting based. The Selcon automatically turns on when the environment is dark regardless of the time. For example the car porch lights will turn on during a dark rainy 4pm etc.

FYI, all electrical appliances (except TV) are going to have a price hike from 1st Jan. Gonna share with you some items that I've bought recently:-

Fridge-
Bought the Toshiba's 700L fridge @RM2500. Harvey Norman is selling at RM 3099.
Chose this 700L over the 650L as the difference is only rm250. I'm getting the big ones here as I've inherited my mum's habit of storing most dried cooking ingredients in the fridge. Bigger space means easier organizing.

The picture below is a 650L Toshiba that I took some times back.

Fans-
i) Fanco fan @RM350, swivel positioning by manual only. (No budget for the pricey NSB vento fan which is around rm13++).

ii) Deka baby fan in black @RM188.

iii) Alpha E-Light 5 blades fan with emergency light, 4 speeds @RM360.

iv) Alpha 828 5 blades fan, 4 speeds, @RM265.



v) Alpha Q28 5 blades fan, design same as 828 but with 5 speeds and reverse mechanism for natural wind function. @RM300.

vi) Alpha Axon 1 360 degree swirl fan, 5 speeds, @RM499.


Note: The sales guy from the shop which I bought the fridge said he will reckon Alpha's fan over KDK and Deka (I had already bought all my fans before knowing him and their shop sells Deka, KDK, Panasonic and Alpha). According to him, KDK (also the OEM for Panasonic fan) has various complains from customers for unstable swinging.
Air conditioning-
Bought all Mitsubishi brand (Mitsubishi Electric) as following:
- 3 units of 1.0HP, plasma, i-see sensor @RM1100 ea.
- 1 unit of 2.5HP, standard (plasma only available for 1.0 & 1.5HP), @RM2100 ea.
- 1 unit of 2.5HP cassette air-cond @RM2800 ea.

Note:
1) All above are non-inverter and price exclude installation as my main con will do it.
2) All Mitsubishi air-cond has increased in price. The shop agreed to grant me the old price as I brought the quotation they gave me before the increment.
3) The original warranty is 2 years on interior unit & 7 years on compressor. I've bought the additional 3 years warranty extension for the following:
- RM135 for 1.0HP (1 extension can use for all 3 units of my 1.0 HP as they do not track the serial number).
- RM175 for 2.5HP cassette air-cond.

serious shit? i m renovating soon, should i go on a buying frenzy now?

The ceiling mount ventilation fan for master bathroom.

The ceiling mount ventilation fan for master bathroom.

this ventilation do you have a duct out to external?
i plan to install this in my bathroom without duct
is it advisable ?

Your master bathroom do not have windows?

There is a 1'x6' top hung window. I do not want to mount it on window coz I want to avoid using grill (very narrow opening so that ppl can't climb in). Besides that it will also somehow jeopardise the look of my front facade...

It has been some times since my last updates. Just little progress thus far....

I find that the original fencing of my front porch will gonna be super awkward as it doesn't match with the gate (horizontal stripes) that I gonna install later. Good thing that my main con is so kind to brick it up FOC for me. So the fencing is now matching with the side wall fencing.

Tiling of table top for other two bathrooms with semi-recessed JS basin.




The ceiling mount ventilation fan for master bathroom.

If the ventilation is good enough, this kind of mechanical ventilation shall be avoided.

the ceiling mounted exhaust fan u installed, u just let the air go into ceiling? planning to do the same. good practice is  like cooker hood they use aluminum coil to divert bad air out.

any advise?

btw,

nice of your contractor to do the brick fence for u. it's so much better and modern.

hey can show more photos of your courtyard?
want to see how you decor it 

Arr...now I get what you mean when you asked if there's a window...
Yup, the natural ventilation should be alright as there's a window in the bathroom and there's also another window just outside the bathroom which is out looking to the courtyard. Actually, I'm just adding this ventilation fan as an additional prevention of humid air which could cause mold/mildew to grow on tiles and mosaics' grouts.
If it's a windy day then I do not need to turn it on.
