I'll start with my regrets

1) too many downlight (in which over the 8 yrs of living, didnt really utilised much of it)
2) bed frame without stand, dirty at the covered bottom and always hitting the bulky edges
3) didn't change my whole house's piping, still using GI from developer (too naive to trust contractor at that time)

un-even wall is kinda common among contractors

1. for this round, i will get a bigger one for sure, forget about dual sink at wet kitchen, less advantage than 1 single
2. i try to minimise my downlight, gonna use more track lighting
3. will add like mad for this, every damm corner

will research on angle corner table top, but i will be doing concrete top most porbably

yupe, this is a requirement i told my plumber.

point noted for the copper and drain outlet, so far i will prepare wiring but the location is just backwall of the house, so drainage shldnt be a problem

yes, this will be part of my plan

this is quite annoying actually, especially when u look up the ceiling, it's like waves, need to force contractor to skim and smoothen it, in the case adding fluted wall also will be balanced out

i gave up on grill, go for mesh instead if got budget

priority roof, piping, wiring

after reno complete, no matter how u mop there is still dust unsettled, deep cleaning is hiring a team of ppl to do wipedown on every inch of the house, including L box of plaster ceiling and they will clean it thoroughly, price can quite steep depending on size and height of property

1) demolish and re-do if possible, to prevent this joint back problem
2) can do aluminium kitchen frame and door with tiled walls

but you do need to apply right if it's an extension ? iinm, if extension for kitchen macam no need, but if go all the way up to 2nd or 3rd floor, need to submit drawing and get approved by local municipal, concrete cooling off period at least 9 to 12 days

hmmmm not too sure on this, currently im doing reno but no submission as i have no extension etc, only internal works

imo, 2 types of contractor

1) con or quit after certain %
2) con as in workmanship/material, see how much convenient to them

this time i do most purchases myself, edit my own floor plan etc, time consuming but at least i know what im getting
