QUOTE(ape @ Jan 26 2018, 07:21 PM) Congratulations TS, yr house is nicely designed and done. Btw, can check with you which type of downlights u r using at the recessed plasterboard? Some kind of spot light? does it glaring? Thanks. I'm using double gimble LED downlight. Not glaring in my opinion unless you purposely stand in the direction where it's shining and stare at it.This post has been edited by Xccess: Jan 28 2018, 12:38 AM Attached image(s)  |

QUOTE(dragonnite999999 @ Feb 6 2018, 06:35 PM) Rm26k sound super cheap but it's two years ago. Any idea on the price for 2018? No idea, better consult few contractors for quotation. Cement have a tendency of cracking after a period of time when moisture within dries up. Anyway i plan to do major renovation of 753 sqft flat for rental purposes, if let says do all plumbing, all wiring, ceiling & wall painting, lighting & fan, floor (maybe go for cement render only), cement render kitchen top. Any idea on the cost of the renovation mentioned? Don't cement for wet areas such as shower area and wet kitchen (especially sink area) due to pores surface. You'll have a hard time cleaning them. |

QUOTE(henryj8 @ Feb 6 2018, 11:59 PM) If renovation for rental purposes, RM26k is enough for all the works you mentioned. *exclude furniture and electrical appliances Get quote from contractors. Price had went up since 2 years ago and everyone's expectation level for Reno is different. |

QUOTE(timottt2000 @ Feb 8 2018, 05:27 PM) Just wondering, your master bathroom came as is? or you got an ID ? Master bath is pretty bare, only a cheapo basin which I've discarded, a normal toilet bowl as you can see in the pix and a lousy Pensonic heater that was replaced. I've added the cabinet, mirrors, showscreen and some misc stuff.This post has been edited by Xccess: Feb 10 2018, 05:03 PM Attached thumbnail(s)

QUOTE(junnie87 @ Sep 6 2018, 08:13 PM) HI Xccess, We stripped away paint from part of the wall, realised it's a pre-cast concrete base. From there we proceeded to remove the rest of it, then paint 3 layers of waterproof "Susu" over. Without waterproofing, cement will releases dust, therefore necessary step to seal the surface.do you mind to advise what you use for your living room concrete wall? been looking high and low for similar result looking forward to your reply This post has been edited by Xccess: Sep 19 2018, 09:37 PM |

QUOTE(nanopico @ Apr 3 2017, 06:07 PM) Hi Xcess, is your track light still working well after 2 years? The track itself you bought from taobao or China? I assume the regular contactor should know how to install the track light? Pardon this dated reply. The track lights that I'm using, all still working, in total all 16 of them. Still going strong. |

QUOTE(Pugface @ Nov 7 2021, 03:08 AM) Hi bro Xccess sorry to revived ur old thread. Hi, you can get your contractor to remove the paint and skim coat to reveal if it's concrete slab. Just start at small portion of the wall. If he don't understand, u can show him my photo. Ive been doing alot of research on getting cement/concrete wall. Suzuka to pioneer process to tiles, you name it. However, what i was so happy to discover is ur method of removing paint to expose the concrete slabs. I cant wait for my developer to complete the rectification so i can check of behind my paint, is it indeed concrete slab panels too. Just wondering, i noticed you find out out good old scrapping method. Does that mean your contractor find a corner and started scrapping to check? Any advice how to find that out with minimum scrapping bcos just in case its not, i can minimize the damage haha. Any chance they used chemical to help with the process? Tq in advance. Ur info and journey has been most helpful! For removal, they have to chip away manually. Can't use chemical. Do note, cement concrete will gives off cement dust thus u need to seal it with waterproofing. I have 3 coats of waterproofing (susu). |

QUOTE(Pugface @ Nov 11 2021, 11:02 PM) Hi Sorry, pardon my late reply due to renovation & biz of my F&B outlet. As the reno took place several years ago, I can't really tell if this is the right product but I think it's similar to what you had posted. If there's any doubt, you can check with your contractor. |
