I think that is a fair price.

One of the point on staircase wall is for doorbell. Forgot which one is it.

Near the fuse box there is one wall lighting point. There is also a point for unifi.

Did you went there after dark? Does the street lights turn on at night?

I was referring to the tiled area outside the kitchen. The area for washing machine.

Maybe, but it is a way to utilize the yard area without renovating. With this, you can also choose not to grille your kitchen door and window.

Please also take note that the kitchen door open to the outside (of the house). So if you want to put grill on it, the grill has to open to the inside which may limit the access to the bathroom.

It is all depends on your own preference (and cost).

Went to visit Saron today.

1. There is a weird smell at the area. It smell like something burned but I don't see any smoke. Not sure if this is the same "fertilizer" smell reported before.

2. No improvement to the roads leading to Saron.

3. Few houses started renovation and there is also few houses which I think people have moved in.

4. Flooded the bathrooms (upstairs) to check for leaks and water proofing. So far no water stain mark visible. Will visit again this weekend

5. The short slab outside master bedroom window is not safe to stand on. More like for decorative purposes. Same material also used on of other windows (top/ outside).

6. Ground works at the back area (between rows) is done (on my row). I was told that the ground works was done by TM to install fibre cable.

Not planning to do major renovation/extension right now due to limited budget. There are at least two units that under renovation. One of it is an end lot which I think is doing two-story extension at the back.

I'm looking for a way to improve the back area without extension. When it is raining, the soil/dirt will stain the wall and tiled area. The area will be also be muddy. I don't think grass can grow easily unless the soil in treated. Another option is to cement the area and install awning. Any other idea?

Should be an option if you have limited budget. It covers half of the yard area but only half of the building. Water can directly flow to the open drain without any gutter

Cement the area under it and can use the area for hanging cloth and store less valuable stuff.

I would prefer to cover half the side near to the building.

Around RM15/20psf mild steel without power coat. Maybe using a thicker steel?

Other than material which have various price, it is also good to ask whether your vendor/contractor charge for additional stuff. Some vendor/contractor charge extra for escape door, door handle, steel plating etc. These stuff will add to your final cost.

Went to SD sales office to submit defect list today. I was told that you need to give keys of your house to them (for accessing the house) when submitting the defect list. Please bring in your spare key set.

Picture taken around 7pm. The street light is turned on at night.

Yup. For the past two days, it was really bad.

I don't think these are normal house flies. There are a lot of them and they don't specifically after food and garbage.

Maybe they came from farm area or garbage disposal area.

Sounds like a good deal. Did mine for more than RM4K

Is it difficult to clean artificial grass? Even if your whole backyard is covered with artificial grass, dirt/dust may come from neighboring house.
