A glimpse of my domestic helper room which I had re-design with bigger windows to allow more light; and acccess from the main room instead of entry from the backyard.

View from the kids room, full height window frame up. For the bottom alminium frame, contractor suggested to hack down 25mm from the internal room floor level to mount the frsme. So that any rainwater that splash onto the frame will not overflow and cause water seepage into the room. Brillant idea.

when constructing extended rc steps, the contractor did not cut corners but insert re-bars before filling with concrete, so that the concrete can be held firmly and not crack easily in future

Nice!

My domestic helper's room, new wall. Notice the wire mesh added to prevent cracks.

Insulation provided to the floor trap, where the cold air-conditioning condensate waste water flows to. This insulation is added to prevent condensation forming, which may 'wet' the false ceiling in future

Hi bro, very soon moving in for you, great

I personally 'advised' the plumber's worker how to run the pipe to be more aligned and closer to the wall, so that box-up will not be too big. Can spot the difference? Before: After:

There is a chinese saying: if the old is not gone, the new one will not come. So get all the new things! And enjoy.

Very reasonable $

Ok makes the place look nice, and it's for long term, worth it.

Nice wall feature wood tiles in common bath. Yr wet kitchen floor tiles wood lookalike is nice too, is it ex?

Ok pm u the termite vendor already

Hi wildfaye, I tried to pm u the termite vendor, but got error MSG, think yr mail is full

Well, 2 schools of thought. As for me, for peace of mind, i did to minimize any possibility termite come up directly from my Hse, if sway sway got ants come from Neighbour, at least I had done treatment to all the woods in my hse

These few days traveling, now still outstation, but still busy coordinating renovation back at home. Had just re-confirmed the total aircon capacity, qty and locations for whole house. Guess what, I even provide an aircon in my domestic helper room!

Thanks

Hi bro, How high was your base and width (measured from the wall?) Notice you had a single big sink. My wife also wanted this, may i know how much you bought it and from where?

Good to hear that. I think by using their service, we are doing them good also by helping these former offenders to get back into society through proper moval jobs. And most important of all, i think their services rendered are good and price, was cheap too!

If the contractor didn't tell me, I wouldn't know too.

Oh yes, u notice that too, I design and ask for this opening precisely for ventilation and natural lighting purpose

Yes minaret could be right, based on the photos of yr intended design, think total demolition and rebuild will be better. However, pls note that rebuild has other constraints also like complying with the authority requirement of set back and building a bomb ahelter( usually locate) in the middle of the building. Pls take that into consideration of yr design.

One of the toilet tiles completed, with the centre border installed.

Did water proofing to the toilet and contractor carried out water ponding test for 4 days. Meaning flood the toilet with water and leave it there for few days to observe any leakage or seepage. Found some possible dampness below the toilet, contractor re-hack and re-do, no question asked. Don't take risk. Ponding test must be conducted to test the worse scenario.

Permanent and cemented over. The left side of the track is the final result after installed and cemented over, the right side has not cemented over yet.
