Due to it's raw nature, it's a breeze to maintain as compared to painted walls, in fact I never do anything to it. Don't have to worry about fine crack lines, fingerprints, paint coming off and whatnot.This post has been edited by Xccess: May 28 2017, 10:55 PM |

Can block the rain water from coming in? won't have mold growth problem? Made of wood. I rarely let it down because the wind at my level is strong, afraid it will be rip off. No mold so far even though exposed to external condition. |

Hi Xccess, thanks for sharing your nice house. Is the Ikea outdoor deck easy to cut? so we can fit into the area. Do you put any thing to stick the deck to the floor?
Is your electrician good? If yes, can share me the contact? Thanks. |

Assembly wise, just piece them together like jigsaw puzzle, no adhesive needed.Is your electrician good? If yes, can share me the contact? Thanks. |

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?

I assume the regular contactor should know how to install the track light? Yes, all working, purchased from Taobao. Go search the thread "Taobao reno purchase" in Lowyat. If your contractor don't know how to do it, it's time to dismiss them. |

QUOTE(lobster08 @ Apr 18 2017, 01:49 PM) Hi Bro, Suggest you get the quote from him and do a comparison with other contractors. Price from last year may not be the same due to ringgit depreciation and I don't have the quote with me as I'm oversea.Nicely done! Do you mind to share with me the quotation your contractor quoted you? I would like to ask him to quote me for reno/wet work only. Thanks ya! |

I've just updated those photos because several members PM me due to Photobucket issues. Thanks for showing interested in my reno journal and I hope you all like it.
Sorry for taking this long to update as I'm kinda busy. |

QUOTE(Xccess @ Jul 28 2016, 10:48 AM) This was done using plaster board, lights are attached the same way as regular recessed downlights. Depth must be at least 5 inches depending on measurement of light casing. With regards to pricing, I was quoted base on lump sum, suggest you give him a call, his contact can be found on first page. Hi Bro, meaning to say there are 2 plaster layers? |
