Renovation Updates

The renovation recently cater to the "bathing connoisseur / aficionado / enthusiast / zealot / addict / mad / crazy ,,," part of me :wub:

As mentioned before my contractor installed 2 water tank.

Extra one advantage, if water shortage in my area I have more water storage thus last longer.

Tiling has started

Kitchen and Laundry area.. :)

Bathroom

img8670k.jpgimg8669x.jpg

You will notice there is a feature wall at the shower area I designed myself, I nearly lost my mind choosing that tiles. The tiles I initially choose cost nearly as much as the tiles for 1 whole bathroom tiles. :wacko3:

Luckily sanity prevailed and I changed my mind after a good night sleep :happy:

Things I've learned :hmm:

: - locate your water tank along the concrete wall top, depending on roof truss timber to provide support is not enough. Water damm heavy. :bruce:

:- Usually cement is used to adhere tiles to wall,

Adhesive (susu) is used when shiny, glossy tiles are involved. The chemicals that are used to process these tiles cause the tiles to have reduced adhesion thus susu) is needed. :ph34r:

Even if it is "Grade 1" tiles, it is not all perfect, bound to find some tiles to be "imperfect", especially wall tiles. Sad to say usually these imperfection are only noticeable when the tiler apply/use the tiles (the imperfection are noticeable when it is placed side by side with the other tiles). :huh:

grade 1 tiles quality depend on brands, i saw white horse tiles not really perfect, but my experiance on MML tiles was good even for wall tiles, the floor tiles also look very equal and flat to all. may i know where you put your water storage / tangki? u put on concrete or roof truss timber? renovation progress is somehow exciting

Water storage tangki is sourced by my wetwork contractor. It is placed on concrete.

Roof truss not strong enough as water is darn heavy.

Renovation Updates:- Grill Installation

My Huge ass grill arrives and is installed

Ground Floor Grill Installation,

img8795.jpgimg8802v.jpg

The result :P

img8927d.jpg

1st Floor Grill Installation,

img8864y.jpgimg8866l.jpg

Getting the grill up the 1st floor has a very interesting back story.

I was actually reminded by my mattress supplier that I need space to move my mattress up the stairs, that is why the stairs was re-renovated earlier. :stars:

When the top floor grill initially arrived, it had to be taken back and re-modified to 2 piece to enable it to be moved up as the initial 1 piece design was just too darn big, even for my handle-less stairs. :shakehead:

Thus the grill was installed 2 days apart. :nod:

The result :lol:
