    Renovation to your homes

    Just to understand, you removed the original water tank and changed to a bigger one? How did your contractor managed to do that? Change it thru the roof tiles? If the water leakage comes from ur new tank and connected pipes, then it's the contractor's fault or in this case your responsibility...

    Renovation to your homes

    Not exactly p&p because I wanted to use this router to replace the Maxis wireless router that was given. I haven't gotten around to doing that yet because of the lack of time. For now, I'm using this router as an access point and my ext HDD is connected to it. Another thing to consider is the...

    I bought it in Best Denki Singapore; price was $359, but I had some free vouchers so only had to pay $278 for it. The same router in Low Yat KL cost around RM829 (check out lowyat.net for price list). My firmware is the latest dated May 2014; never faced any rebooting issues. It has been...

    Maybe he was referring to Bangladeshis in view of the scandal during GE13 last May.

    Renovation to your homes

    Hi bro, I'm not sure what specs or speed you need and also because your house layout is different from mine. But I'm able to play the HD movie in my ext HDD (connected to that router) on my media room TV, with no lag or playback hanging. I guess it helps that the router in my master room is...

    Renovation to your homes

    May I suggest a more powerful wifi router like Asus RT-AC68U or RT-Nxx series? That should help to eliminate dead spots in the house. I bought the AC68U and connected it via LAN cable from my storeroom to my upstairs bedroom. The wifi signal is able to reach my entire house, even my guest room...

    Renovation to your homes

    I bought the gate from Broad Coverage, same people who did my alarm and CCTV. It does seem expensive, but they told me it's from Italy or something, and installation was well done. I also purchased another autogate arm for my side gate at around 1.5k, excluding wiring which they did for me at...

    Renovation to your homes

    The wardrobe sounds quite nice. Can share some pics after the installation? My wardrobe was done by my contractor's sub-con; not very good workmanship and had to undergo a few rounds of rectification. Hopefully the rectification can finish by early May. Oh no, I engaged Supercool to do 22ft...

    Renovation to your homes

    Cascadia, that sounds affordable. Is the 40k only for the kitchen or does it include any grilles or windows? I contracted Honglee to change all my windows and doors, kitchen cabinets and magnetic insect screen.

    Renovation to your homes

    If my quotation is RM85k after Home Fair discount, I think it could touch 100k without discount. Anyway, with the additional storage space, I believe this will be the final renovation for the kitchen forever. Hey Sandy, nice touch on the external wall and custom-made wooden gate. May I know...

    Renovation to your homes

    Actually I wonder how much cheaper is the normal price vs the Persada fair price. Honglee's pricing is quite fixed and I don't like the fact that for customized items like insect screens, they have minimum charges.

    Renovation to your homes

    Hi Sandy, I feel the finishing for my kitchen is good. And if my wife is dissatisfied with the end product, she'll ask them to rectify it. Below is a photo of a section of the kitchen. Each of us will have our own ideas of what they want; our house concept is simple and modern and I guess it...

    Renovation to your homes

    My frames are aluminium too; all glass and mirror and the motorized drawer with granite and island. How many feet is your counter top and wall cabinets? Not many contractors can do aluminium cabinets, most of them use melamine or solid plywood. Honglee uses Blum too, and their quality is...

    Yes, I have my main con for all other works including piping. I saw the photo u posted; my kitchen is something like that or exactly like the one in the showroom with dark mirrors for doors, matte black frames and black tinted glass on walls. Then we chose black granite for the counter top to...

    Renovation to your homes

    It's a big kitchen; one of the expensive item is a motorized tall drawer that cost me RM7.5k. If you go to Honglee's showroom in BMS mall, you can try it out. One knock and the drawer opens; what to do... My wife likes it. All drawers and cabinets doors comes with soft close function.

    Renovation to your homes

    I didn't rewire my house; too big of a job to do and high chance, very costly. Just added on wires for additional lights, fans, heaters, pump and airconds.

    Exchange Rates for RM

    Hi Abugumgum, I dunno if they do remittance to local banks. I've always changed cash thru them, and I don't speak Mandarin very well, so can really ask for you.
