80% Complete

I think almost 80% of our home is complete. Painting kautim. So on 15th July 09 go to collect our light & water heater from Top Lamp...and already make appointment with the wireman for light, fan & water heater installation on 18th July.


Above is the night we collected the light & heater..alot leh...for whole house mah..


On that day, my parent also came over. The wireman Muthi very good, he even help us to install the main switch..Developer should be the one doing. Anoter picture is the light switch. Alot leh, coz we want every 2 light will have one switch, so we can control the amount of light we want to "ON"


For internal light, we use T5 4meter cost about RM22/unit and we need 10. And most of our light is power saving light, OSRAM. Total we have is 27 units.


Fan is from Panasonic and Muthi even help us to put the curtain rod..hehehehe.. i still got 2 more BIG BIG rod havent put in, need to trouble Muthi already...

So Muthi took about 3 days to complete all the installation including heater. Total we spend for wiring, add (alot)power point (my wife very kiasi one), fan point, air con point, heater point, additional telephone point, astro point, light, fan, heater installation was only 2.2k hehehehhe but we spend about 3.2k for light and 2 heater....bankrupt liao :(

But after all the tedious work of sourcing, purchasing, moving and so on....... at last we still can................................................................................ ROCK & ROLL lar....... hehehehehehehe

Saturday 4th July 09, Joan and I went over to our new house to try painting. We succesfuly painted our study rooms. How may hour we used to complete the room...Please guess.... you are wrong...not 2 or 3 hours but 5 hours...hehehehehe...DON'T LAUGH... 1st time is consider not bad..atlease we finished it. We start around 10am and finish around 3pm. Colour we choose is light purple (i guess) and on 5th July Sunday, we painted the next room with light orange. It only took us 4 hours with better finishing...Why...experience liao mah..

Before & After

Before & After


So for those who wanted to try painting, go ahead..try it..At 1st is really quite hard coz you are worrying on the result but once you see the outcome, you will be confident to go for next room.

A small study rooms used up about 4 liter of paint..... hehehehe...

But for the master bed room, living hall (1st & 2nd floor), car poarch, plaster ceiling, need expert to do it..hehehe...too big liao. Already ask my friends to quote, 1K... he is a freelancer so he dont have specific price. Market price will be around 1.8 to 2k. So this Friday, they will come to paint.

For those who leave nearby and wanted his contact, please inform me..... i can guarantee you get a cheaper price.

Really exciting, another month we will be moving to our new house. 9th August 2009.

1st Time Painting

Hahaha....this is the 1st time joan and i purchase our own paint and accesories :) We know nothing about painting. Only few minutes tutor from Youtube on painting techniques. Hopefully this Saturday, everything will go fine.

So why on sudden wanted to paint the house by ourselves and not hire professional? Because 2 things, we wanted to know what is the feel to paint our own home and secondaly, if is really hard to paint the house, then atleast when we hired professional, we will felt is worth it coz we already know how hard.

We already ask ppl to quote. RM1800 for whole house and not include paint. So joan and i went to bandar puchong puteri to shop for paint. Nippon Spot Less 5Liter about RM102 and for normal white Nippon Matex 18liter is about RM65. So we purchase some equipment as recommended by the boss. So this Saturday we will become painter..hahahahahaha.... Our 1st tin of 5liter paint is light purple. We plan to put it for our study room.

For plaster ceilings and outdoor, we plan to hired the professional. But the boss said is better to put oil base or water base sealer to the plaster ceiling before painting it. It will make sure the paint will not fall off... So wish us good luck ok.........
