Renovating your house 101
After making the decision to sell my unit at Danau Permai condominium, It's time to look at how to renovate my bachelor pad, my old house I grew up in while I was a young fella. SEA PARK is a very cosy neighborhood. Most of my neighbors I knew back then are still living there... well most of them. Can't say for those old folks whom I used to dislike because they loved to pinch my cheeks whenever they see me. I think they've passed on.
Well, it's a big headache for me. I just realized that I need a lot of $$$$ to make the place decent enought to give me shelter from rain and sun. I had to remove the current roof tiles as they're no longer able to work due to wear and tear. The floors are in a state of beyond salvageable condition. Everything has to go. The kitchen concrete roof is leaking and has created a very smudgy and ugly big spot... ugggghhh!
I estimate that the renovation works is going to come around to about RM 100K... Yeah.. a lot for a terrace single storey house.
The list of things I need to do :
- Termite check and treatment
- Extension for kitchen on the rear end of the house
- tearing up the existing dining hall to become an AIR WELL again
- Shifting the main entrance
- Replacing all floor tiles
- Dismantling the car porch and updating with a current and presentable design
- water proofing on all major structural works
- Hacking a few walls....
- removing and installing new toilet bowl, shower, water heater, basin, fixtures,
- installing new kitchen counter top, cabinets and stove, etc
- Installing Wardrobe for 2 rooms....
