moving in and house reno

Alhamdulilah. First thing I have to say is, thank you Allah that my husband finally agreed to buy a house. We managed to find a nice and suitable with my husband range of loan after we went for head hunting for a few already. We narrowed down our search to find a house nearby our office. Our office is in Serdang. House that is more than 30 minutes is out an option because even now I went to and fro from office from PJ. Enough of wasting petrol, toll, energy and time. We knew if we want to find a house around Bangi or Serdang it will be expensive for a double storey. Either we will combine loan for a double storey or we try to find a smaller house but it is nice and comfortable to live in. Alhamduliah, in the end we managed to find a nice on single storey with 3 bedroom house. 5 minutes to office is the best part of all. Another best part was only my husband that take up loan for the house. Everything was arranged by Allah perfectly.

We decided to do renovation for the house because it is quite warned  out and the part I don't understand was, why old houses must have alot of the walls in between as a seperator. It taking up alot of space. We want to break all the walls and extend at the back to make my kitchen. I am excited for the kitchen most of all.

We decided not to do the porch yet. But we will extend a little bit to the front around 3 feet in front. Because it is one time job for retilling.

Now our head hunting is for tiles, grills, toilets stuff like sink etc, fan and lights. We KIVed kitchen cabinet, wardrobe, plaster ceiling and TV cabinet.

Oh ya, we surveyed a few contractors and Endon workers. End up, we decided to go with one of the Endons' that was suggested by the previous tenant. We decided that based on the cheapest price and the previous owner was a Chinese and he did renovation for that Chinese quite several houses and shops. Based on assumption that Chinese will not stick with a man if he did not trust and happy with his handyman work. Hoepfully. I prayed to Allah that the outcome will be nice and neat. It is quite a gamble.

Later I will update about my surveys for grill, tiles etc.
