PROJECT 915: Introduction & Pics

This new apartment belongs to a friend of mine. A mainstream working class couple. The place is about 915sqft in size located in a pretty new neighborhood development. It’s a typical condominium with standard facilities though the quality and workmanship of the materials and construction are questionable. The apartment is less than RM170K so don’t expect Mt. Kiara or Damansara Heights kind of excellence. My friend and I are certainly not millionaires. But this is what this blog is partly about, economical renovation for ordinary people like me tangerine. Anyhow, renovation will begin this Monday with lead time of 1 month and hopefully let see how I can learn a bit or a little from their progress and predicament, and hopefully some budget planning wisdom.

Finances allocated is around RM20K-RM30K inclusive of wirings, built-ins & kitchen, furnitures, air-con & electrical and with any luck, a 43” plasma tv (just kidding). So here are some pictures for references and do note that the place is rather untidy at the moment, but who cares? It’s renovation period. Will keep an update on the progress, costing and suggestions in the coming days. Please feel free to leave a comment or two or even share your experiences. Tangy Cheers.
