100" TV? It's only in my dream... brows.gif
nod.gif  There will be a front loading washer, Bosch WAS24461-SG with anti-vibration design. Wish to have a dish washer too but I can't find a valid excuse to splurge on that yet... It's a luxury spending for me at the moment..  tongue.gif 
There is only my husband and I living in there...so the dish washing is kinda minimal. Not going to have big party often but just small gathering with family members or couple of friends over the weekend.  wink.gif

Washing machine and placement:-
Yup, it's fully imported from Germany. Bought it some times ago during a massive warehouse sales in Harvey Norman when they are clearing stock to move the main warehouse. It was still a new model that time selling in store for RM4899, but I got it at RM3300. The price that I checked last 2 months in their store is still over RM4k... You may want to check the latest price again..

The anti-vibration design at side panel.

The socket still can be switched off from the extra switch linked to it above the table top. The initial water outlet has been cut off but I didn't close up the outlet entirely to standby it for future usage just in case. Both in and outlet are from the cabinet compartment next to it so that it allows more room to slot in the washing machine and keep the machine protruding part minimal.

In the picture, from the the left most is the inlet for washer, inlet for kitchen taps, outlet for both washer and sink tap and right most is the stop cock. Will show the plumbing work once it's done and the hole will be covered up with foam to avoid cockcroaches....

Any problem with defects so far?
Visual inspection nothing much, you need to seal the toilet holes with plastics and tapes, fill water in and flood them. Double storey houses must do this, else you will have leaking problem after some time. Then look for someone that can climb up and check on the roof's construction.
Since you are going to do a major reno, just lay new water pipes. If budget not a problem, use AC pipes, can withstand high pressure compare to poly pipe. Else, poly pipe.

Terrace house I only know, but for those, should be the same.
Its a new house, is a fact, it will still turn to old house, right?

i think the main issue is to get the upper floor neighbour perform flooding on their respective toilets. if they do not check it during completion, next time if later found leak sure very headache.. rclxub.gif
