Windows

There are many types of windows in the market.  It all depends on how much you are willing to pay.  When we first did our research, there were windows that could keep the sound barrier out, windows that could keep out the dust, thin glass, frosted glass and so on.

In the end, we passed the project to our Contractor to handle and I must say that he did a good job.  The windows look classy and solid.

Sourcing Sourcing

Every weekend and holiday is now spent on sourcing for items and materials for the new renovated home.

We've been going to Klang, Puchong, Sg Buloh and even Kuala Selangor to source for wood, sanitaryware, kitchen cabinets, tiles and visiting exhibitions for decoration and renovation.

Here's what we need to source for the moment :

1. Roofing

2. Doors & Windows as well as their frames

3. Tiles for hall, dining, kitchen and bathroom

4. Sanitaryware - sinks, consoles, wcs, showerheads and bathroom accessories

5. Kitchen Cabinets

6. Hob, cooker, oven and microwave

7. Kitchen Sink

8. Lighting

I am having a headache already just thinking about this.

Recycle & Reuse~Part 2

A quick update on our Recycle & Reuse project. It looks like our Recycle & Reuse project for the new house will not be 100% materialized.

This is because, after removing some of the cabinets upstairs, on the landing area and at the dining area, it was found that it has been partly eaten by white ants! YIKES!!!

So now, it's left with the built-in cupboards for the walk-in wardrobe and the French doors and windows.

Out you GO!

And you too! You'll have to GO too!

Recycle & Reuse

This house has a wonderful set of French doors and windows. Therefore, we've decided to recycle and reuse some of these items. Things like built-in cupboards are a plenty and are still in good condition.

The French doors, which we will use again for the patio area. The previous owners painted the outside white and left the original wood color inside. We will be removing the white paint and keep the natural brown color.

Even the swing was left behind. It's hard to find a swing like this now a days. It used to belong to the previous's owner's wife. So roughly we guess that this swing will be about 30 years old. I am planning to paint it RED! I wonder what K will say about this?

Can you imagine this swing in RED?
