ncsl999 0 Report post Posted December 7, 2011 (edited) Reno progress delayed due to false ceiling issue at the living & dinning area. The stupid ceiling is lower by 3inches .. than other areas of the house, hence after the false ceiling is up the whole living & dinning is so much lower than the rest of the place.. so now got a unbalance view from the living to study and kitchen. As I have done most of the layout sketches myself .. which includes all the 'Needs" of all the family members. Below are the changes:1. I will be hacking away the store room to give more space to the MBR.2. Mother inlaw says Toilet inside Kitchen no good for feng shui. Anyway we have overcome this problem by create a false wall using hollow block to separate the kitchen area from the toilet.I will posting only manual drawn skecthes as my contractor cum ID does not provide 3D. So we have just imagine hard... god help us hee hee Edited December 7, 2011 by ncsl999 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ncsl999 0 Report post Posted December 7, 2011 Conclusion the most part of the false ceiling needs to be taken down and changed design. My Id guy: Alvin nearly faint when we told him to tear the false ceiling down... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
