Hi Yoongf, The Palm Tree looks a bit constraint as there don't seem to have enough space for the tree. I think it will be better if the space is expanded. Do you think it is a bad idea to introduce a tree in the house?

Thanks to forumers for the reply. I may consider planting a nice palm tree but will prefer a natural looking tree that don't produce too much leaves. The load bearing for the area is more than 1.5 tons because the area is supported by a pillar and a beam. I was told that as long as I don't attempt to build a Wisma Atrium type of big acquarium in that area, the area can easily take the load of three big pots of tree. Hence, there is no problem taking the load of one potted tree. For re-potting, I guess have to seek professional help from gardeners to do it every three to five years as suggested by Begof. Alternatively, I could re-plant the tree in my garden (exterior) and bring in a new tree after 3 to 5 years. Is there any type of tree that doesn't have a big crown? I am referring to those more petite medium size tree that grow up to 7 to 9 metres. I saw it in one reno magazine in the past where the decor involves putting a big pot with a tree in the living room which extends all the way to the second storey of the house. Looks very unique from the photo.

Congras to your purchase of the new flat. Very nice reno. Hope everything will turn out as you have planned. Cheers!

Hi everyone, I would like to find out whether anyone has tried planting a tree within the house? My place is a 3.5 storey landed house that has a skylight roof. There is a void area from the second floor to the ceiling of the 4th level where it reaches the skylight roof glass. I am comtemplating the idea of planting a tree in a large size flower pot. The height available for the tree to grow is more than 10 metres (my estimate is about 12 metres). My questions are: a. Can a tree be planted in an area where there is sunlight but no rain (I could water the tree). b. What type of tree is suitable? (Prefer those that doesn't drop a lot of leaves and preferably has thin stem.) c. What are the pros and cons of planting a tree within the house? d. Would you plant a tree in the house if your place has the height and skylight to bring in the sunlight? e. Would parquet flooring be able to stand the weight of the flower pot? < I can still opt for the area to place the flower pot be tile up. If tile up, what type of tile will match the parquet flooring around it? The second floor area is actually the side living room on the second floor near the stairs. > Appreciate your comments and views.

Hi Valkimer, I am no guru. I think it depends on your taste and design. I have seen in design magazine of different toilet wall such as tile, cement screed and exposed red brick toilet wall. Cheers!

Yes, the electrical wiring including cat 6 cabling will be completed by end of next week. Brick works should also be completed by end of next week. The meter box has already been set up. However, my contractor has not started on the external works. The external works comprised of widening the frontage of my house and bringing in the main water and electrical supply. Opennet has just delayed the laying of cables by another 2 months. If they keep to their word, opennet can be layed by October 2010. Agree with you that lady Pinktini is a very intelligent woman. However, not sure about the causality between diet to feed kids and becoming a genius like Pinktini. Anyway, have a good weekend.

Look forward to see your flat transformation.

Welcome to RT. Very nice pictures of your flat. Hope your reno is smooth.

When I bought my LCD TV, I was given both wall brackets and stand. No questions asked.

Very modern and refreshing design. Love it very much.

Definitely must go try my luck, even when the chances are very remote.

I believe Lim75 story and thank him for sharing in the forum. Cheers!

With opennet coming our way soon, do we still need starhub cable?

I like your quote. Brightens up my day too!

Good to see that your contractor is so efficient and there is much progress to your A&A work. I applied for my permit by sending to SP something like 1.5 months ago and until now, nothing heard. Anyway, my construction will not be completed until probably October. Will get to see the pictures of your new house sooner.

How much does it cost to buy a Mit Inverter System 4 with full installation. There is nothing at the moment. The installers will need to install the bracket, the isolator, the trunking, etc...

Very nice layout and good view.

Thanks for sharing. This is an interesting product.

I like LED for its many advantages. Only setback I see is the lack of brightness and more expensive.

Did she recommend any 4D for you?

There are square kitchen sinks without sharp edges too. Shop around at Jln Bersa sanitary ware shops and you should be able to find some of these. Cheers!

What smell is that? In general, clean the house with sweet smelling fragrant detergent, open the windows and use more and stronger fans. Cheers!

You can try buying some reno books or read them from the national library. There are good ideas that you can adopt and adapt for your house. When you want to think about lights, you may also start to think about electrical wiring, switches, etc... When you buy lights, you can get the light supplier to help you fix the light for you. Cheers!

I also hear of a case where the ang pow is twenty ringgit. Family of four plus one maid. Occupy one table by asking the waiter to remove the rest of the chair. Like that lagi jialat.
