Renovation to your homes

[snowbird]

I purchased a house where my master room will get baked by the sun every day..

my wife is gonna have her confinement there for at least a month..

She would want me to get the sun fix so the place will be cooler.

Our neighbor had installed a balcony and installed those blinds to block the sun from entering the room..

i think that will be rather costly?...

The most effective way is to block out the sun from hitting the windows.
Those sun-shield films will offer little relief if your windows are getting the sun the whole afternoon and don't forget you need to close the windows the whole day to let the shield work.
If you are considering to install those roll-up bamboo blinds as suggested, fix them OUTSIDE of the windows to block off the sun's rays and preferable provide a space between the blinds and windows.
Alternatively, consider installing sun breakers or awnings over the windows I suggested earlier for effective sun blocking and you can open all your windows for natural ventilation during your wife's confinement.

Anyone tried this before? Might work, though.

TBS a few stalls away selling (or lelonging?) Bluguard for less than RM1200 but the salesman at Knight Services was really funny and convincing in the way he talk. He probably wondering why we keep laughing while he talked. In the end paid RM700 more for his alarm system.

I think your water filter system is too expensive. Outdoor + indoor typically cost about $2k RM. If yours is membrane type at this cost, the maintenance cost will be very high.

Actually I was looking at only spending less than RM3000 for stainless steel cylinder with Thong Yang water dispenser. However my wife was very keen on the ozone thingy. They provide a free filter that would come in useful 3-4 years later, just need to go and claim from them when time due for change. Anyway, money already flowed out, hopefully will translate to everyone living happier and longer.

There is one at the T-junction between Coastal Highway and Nusa Bestari, just before entering Perling under the bridge. Not sure good or not.

my house is an end lot, the side of the house, there are plants.. tall ones growing, because of this.

Mosquitoes tend to breed. I had yet returned home to stay after HDB had enforced that I must stay in HDB during my 5 years MOP.

however, I need some feedback on what could I do to solve this problem so returning home now and then wont be a problem.

Hope peeps here can recommend me.

Thank you.

I have been there on 3 occasion to buy small stones to put in my lawn. Price reasonable. But the white stones i bought changed colour after some time. Realized that the white color is actually some form of paint that makes it unnaturally white.

Yes, any bro/sis can share some recommendations/ suggestions/ ideas?

One contractor quoted RM2 - RM3 psf for carpet grass. Is carpet grass maintenance relatively hassle free?

It all depends on your budget and the design you are looking forward to.
Awnings and sun breakers comes in so many design and made with an assortment of materials so cost is also extremely varied from several hundred ringgits to tens of thousands.
Perhaps some designs here might be suitable and interest you too.

That is super correct. Besides watering, weeding is needed too. Only artificial turf is free maintenance.:p

Not true. My grasses need no maintenance. They grow so well that they are 1.5m now
