Renovation Tips

Planning on a house renovation project in Malaysia? I'm sure you'd have given this much thought as well as probably made quite a bit of plans for this. 

Renovating a house it's not something you do constantly. The lack of experience means mistakes will happen. Mistakes are difficult to undo since a lot are set in concrete (pun intended) not to mention being costly as well. 

It is really not a small matter especially after spending a large amount of money and still being unhappy with the work. You'll have to look at the mistake everyday since you are going to live in the home for several years. 

Here are some tips to increase your checklist to ensure you have done everything is possible to lessen problems later upon.

1. List down everything for you to do on paper very first. Create a priority list so you know which part for you to do first. Only you'll be able to deal with small items later.

2. Decide on your budget and stick to it. If you don't have financial constraints, your cost will tend to balloon as your renovation goes on. Allow for extra cost associated with around 20 in order to 25% more. This amount is actually normal for extra material or minor changes towards the renovation.

3. Have written plans or a minimum of simple drawings to illustrate your idea. Make copies from the plans and drawings to ensure that there won't end up being any arguments or even miscommunication. Refer to the sketches and plan when there is any disagreement.

Abandoned Building

I went on a walk and saw this abandoned building. I wonder who lived in this building in the past. It is a fairly large house and the people would have been quite wealthy. What would the walls tell us of the past inhabitants?

With a bit of work, it can be restored to its former glory. They don't build things like they used to anymore.
