Project "Our Hive": Bricks and Iron part 2

I'm now at Starbucks in Three*Two Square PJ while waiting for Shah to finish Friday prayers. We're on leave today. Earlier this morning we met the first contractor and he gave us some quotations. He also brought us to see one of the houses in our neighbourhood where he has done some renovations, i.e. fixing the grille, walling up the back fence and plaster ceiling. His work looks neat. Anyway, we'll wait for another quotation tomorrow before we make our decision on whom to go with.

With regards to plaster ceiling we're not sure if we want to have one in our living and dining rooms. We might just opt for a plaster cornice around the ceiling. But I would like to have downlights installed in the living and dining rooms. Can we have downlights installed with the current cement rendered ceiling that we have? Hmm...do we really need downlights? Need to ask the contractor later.

In any case, we'll give the contractor the first job of installing the grilles and walling up the fence. If they prove to be good, them we will install new gates and front fence to match the gate. We'll only decide on the plaster ceiling after we have teasted out the house for leaks. Which reminds me I have to get the water connected to the house. Anyone knows how go about doing that? Do I need to call up Jabatan Bekalan Air Selangor?

P/S: I am pretty sure that most entries to come in this blog will be related to our house so please don't get bored with me ok?
