There is some lights I bought from taobao, but only installed for about 2 weeks, then last week when I go tidy up before move in, suddenly all lights burned, but those light I buy local still looks good, anyone know why this is happened? Is it due to voltage?

Should not be voltage issue. I installed those lights+fan from TB, only complain from installer is the hook need to modify.

btw, did you 5) Extend 7 feet master bedroom? Can you show some pics?

The part after the beam is the extended part for the master room which I'm quite dissatisfied with the existence of the beam after extended.

The final reno cost will be reveal soon because the house haven't ready for move in yet.

You see the original design of the backdoor is oepning inward, there is a reason for that, its for security concern.

Your new backyard door open outwards, which means the hinges are exposed to the outside, burglar can just remove the hinge and your door will come right off...

Thanks for your advice, I shall discuss again with my contractor on this issue, seriously no experience on this.

AC compressors should be on mounting blocks raised from the floor like thus as shown in the last picture.
*
Is there any issue if not on mounting blocks as you shown? Rain water splash in? Or worry if got flood?

Hmm, i guess to keep cost low the beam has to stay. It is a structural beam to hold the house, not easy to remove/replace.
Just dont place your  bed under it, bad fengshui

Yes, thats the most headache part because I really plan to combine both my queen size bed which move from old house and new king size bed as I got 2 kids now which I think they not willing to sleep alone yet.

Mainly that and to alleviate from heat stress by avoidance of conduction of excessive heat from the ground.

What if actually the compressor is on ground of upper floor?

Same thing. Its always recommended to place the compressor on the riser. The riser should have anti vibration pads as shown in the link given.

Thanks for your professional advise, will discuss with my contractor.

Also one more thing, the compressors are placed too close to the wall on its left side for the one the bottom pic I quoted. Its needs space to "breathe" to prevent premature compressor failure due to heat stress. Although York's manual online doesn't show it (but floor support aka risers are shown), Acson's manual does as seen on page 4. Many others will show as does mine too in the manual (pg 35).

Come to think of it, the wall mounted Daikin compressors too. They  are too close under the roof eaves. Usually, I would leave at least 8"-12" clearance from under the eaves.

Appreciated so much on your clear explanation.

Yes, I do have a main contractor to do most of the renovation, for electric parts, he only cover some, additional installation such as water heater, water pump etc he quote us in higher price, so we ask another electrician to do the remaining, the electrician also help me install my electrical curtain track at no additional cost.
