    I understand there are water tanks already built on top of houses precisely for such situations. I noticed my roof has one/two black tank-like unit. I suppose is to store water. Maybe bros can verify this.

    the water filter is drinkstar stainless steel sand type + another indoor filter. The sand will filter out most of the sediments so that the indoor one can work properly. I think suffice for home use. i think price has come down over the years. my water heater will be the standard stand alone...

    I see this as something positive. It shows that they have begun to think hard about the issue of CRITICAL MASS. Build build and build for who? Imagine 2 to 3 theme parks in the pipeline after Hello Kitty and Legoland.

    Noted bro. Originally i had wanted to re-turf using Pearl grass. But tot that it might be fun to let the kids mow the lawn (under supervision of course) once a while. Will re-consider again. Cheers.

    It was not too long ago when there was a huge protest by the locals regarding the high levels of crime in JB after a school girl was dragged to her death by motorbike riding robbers. Yes,..inside the confines of one's secured tamans and the glitzy shopping complexes, one can be lulled easily...

    Thanks for the info bro,..i look at this as both pro and con. Stricter control by developer especially if they invoke the deed of convenant will help to maintain the uniformity in the facade of the buildings, so that one doesnt get a rude shock with "overly creative" neighbours...haha. On the...

    Thanks bro. Will most likely hack the walls to create a simple balcony - wall and glass combi type. Cos on floor plan, the RC flat roof for the car porch is as big as the size of Master bed room,..will be a waste to let it just be a roof. Cheers.
