the other side of utility wall will be demolished for a kitchen wall extension

A look at my little utility room before it goes under transformation

A peek at my tiny kitchen which is about same size as my current condo kitchen

View from kitchen back door, see the wall on the left side of photo. it will be hacked and extended out to turn this L shaped kitchen into a Square kitchen.

Hope my Kind contractor, Mr Jason will give me a good price on my VO , Variation order.

Our Visitor toilet at level one. Very small so we won't be putting a shower screen but using a shower curtain to create more space for the WC. for the benefit of Plus size visitors.

I absolutely love your staircase!

Thank you, me too. But it will be a headache when we want to move in with our barang barang. In the end, we decided to do more build in or but new furniture and assemble them upstairs. My two year old king sized sealy mattress is very plush and thick, not sure how the movers can manovue thru that small stairways.

DAY 1 - HACKING, DISMANTLE OF EXISTING FURNITURE HAS BEGAN

it will last for one week, all existing doors, door frames, built in furniture, toilet fittings, tiles, everything will go.

the protection over the marble

the empty space where the build-in waldrobe in the study room. The aircon will be dismantle and mount back on after the partitition and cornices are removed. this room will become a study and playroom for my boy

Masterbedroom empty wall where the waldrobe used to be. notice the odd shaped wall, the new waldrobe will go all the way up to the ceiling. to cover up the wall.

my walk-in waldrobe is gone and i am surprise to see that beautiful space. better ask Jaskel to design a waldrobe that will allow the light to shine through. i dont want to box it up for another decade.

See the vanity basin and cabinet area after hacking. The amount of fungal, mould and yacky stuff that grows inside,below and behind the cabinet. None of that for me. My new toilets will have wall mount poceline vanity top to keep it simple and clean.

SWING GATE OR SLIDING GATE

After much consideration and budget constraint. we decided to keep the present swing gate and change the swing gate system. To share with fellow forummers who are looking into this, i done some homework on my part.

Quotation from well know gate company and similar competitor for Malaysian Made Motors such as RANGER is prized about $1800 even $1950 with sensor, italian brand FAAC swing arm cost $2500 to 3000, FAAC slide motor cost 2180 with sensor

but if you get from the distributors directly it will cost you from $1000 t0 1300. Brands from Ranger, DORMA, GOOD1 with warranty of up to 18months and one to one exchange

that is a savings of at least $500 with no gst as well.

Hope i can find more good deals to save money $$$

After hacking make sure to check the concealed pippings and get your contractor to change those they damaged. This is sure to happen with hacking.

just curious, why do you need to change the system? any problem with existing system?

My Current system not working well. right arm motor is weak, lock does not work anymore, even the remote control also dying on me. I could not find the OVA brand so since i am hacking the yard so change it at the same time.

New gate is very costly especially sliding ones. better to watch what i spend on.

Your water pipes could run everywhere, not just the toilets. Some run along the ceilings, some like mine run along the floor.
