House Renovation

[swordsman]

^^^ yup, medyo malaking work nga. i have 2 contractors checked it out. magpapagawa din lang, might as well pagawa na lahat kelangangan pagawa.

dude, malaki-laking trabaho yan ah... meron tayo ditong isang member whose into construction business...van wilder yata... I think nasa sig niya ang contact details niya....

i think his company's mostly into constructing new houses.

tip ko lang pala ikaw na lang bumili ng mga fixtures na kailangan lights, sinks etc...mas makakamura ka....pati tiles ikaw na rin bumili...

thanks. i plan to do just that.

BTW, for bathroom fixtures/accessories like wash basin, faucets, shower heads, toilets/water closets, bathtubs, where do you buy these at the best prices? Do the normal hardware stores carry these? I usually see these at Home Depots and ACE/Handyman outlets, but i guess they have that added price. Some brands i see at these outlets are American Standard, HCG..

I'm currently renovating our house.

For our masters bedroom, gusto ni misis lakihan ang walk-in closet, so kumuha kami ng space from the adjacent room.
Ang problem ko now is baka hindi umabot sa loob ng walk-in closet yung lamig ng aircon. Can I put a sort of transfer fan to suck in air from the bedroom and blow it into the walk-in closet through the ceiling?

Also, sa mga toilets naman, ang gagawin ng contractor is put new tiles over the old tiles. Ok lang ba ito?

Diba tinatanggal ang tiles ? Kasi when we had our faucet repaired sa bathroom, the tiles were removed. Yes, it may take a while ( tapos medyo maduming trabaho pa ) but putting a tile over another might just look odd.

Just my 2 cents.

Floor to ceiling ba ang tiles? Kasi kung hindi, it will look awkward....

It it is, then, 'sisikip' ang bathroom...

Just wondering kung matibay ang pagkakadikit niyan.....

This should work. I have tried this. But see to it that the cooling power of your acu can accomodate the added area. May corresponding sq.m ang capacity ng acu based on its h.p.

Traditional is to scrape first the old tiles. Pero pwede rin ipapatong ang new sa old tiles. tile-to-tile finish ang tawag dyan. May chemical na ilalagay for that specific bonding. Not ordinary tile adhesive.

has anyone here tried using "toggle bolts" aka "butterfly anchors" to mount a TV Bracket on a gypsum board?

IMO, gypsum boards are not load bearing. i used those on my ceiling hung light but magaan lang kasi ang ilaw. Which is why when I watch tutorials on youtube on setting up tv brackets, they always attach it sa post support ng drywall.

I have, for my TV in the bedroom. Just got the bolts from Lazada. It’s been a year, di pa naman nahuhulog yung TV.

If the desired or specific TV location won't allow the TV bracket to anchor securely onto wall stud studs, you may build a TV wall of 18mm boards for the bracket to screw on. DIYable if you're handy.
Anchor or hang that board onto the studs securely.
You may gap the TV wall a coupla inches away from the drywall to serve as your cabling cavity.
Pic below shows a similar application. Red arrow points at the TV bracket. White arrow points at the hole to route the power, net, HDMI, audio-video lines or what have you between. Blue arrow=drywall. Note the speakers have no visible wires.
This way, you won't worry of suddenly finding the TV on the floor broken....plus, most of the web of wires will be tucked away for a more pro-like install. Just my 2cents....

first, kailangan ba na lumamig din ang walk-in closet?

on the tiles, mas ok kung tanggalin yung dati kasi makakabawas ng space, at me chance na mabasag ang newly-installed tiles pag di maganda ang base

Pagsummer kasi, super init sa 2nd floor. And mahirap din magbihis ng pinagpapawisa ka.

I've searched the net, and medyo common ng ginagawa ang tile-over-tile. May ipapahid munang tile adhesive.
Floor to ceiling ang wall tiles. Half inch lang naman ang dagdag sa kapal ng tile plus adhesives.

Masmakapit yata ang tile pag magaspang ang surface, di ko lang alam yung tile adhesive sa smooth surface

[shakatak70]

maraming klase ang grout adhesive.. di gaya noon kailangan talagang mag tiktik..

If you want tile over tile and will use the adhesive, better get the bigblock tiles para less work. Yung malalaking sizes IMO agad. parang wall agad pero medyo mahal sa una pero makakatipid ka sa labor eh.

[CVT]

^^^ Bro.,- kung hindi pareho ang size ng old and new tyles,- okay lang ba?

To my inexperienced mind (because I have not seen or done this), parang may hindi tama...

I'm really thinking hard if pabakbak ko ang old tiles or mag tile over tile ako. I need the renovation to be finished by my set deadline. Aalis kasi kami buong family by that time. Ang takot ko baka hindi matapos sa deadline if pabakbak ko ang tiles.

Yung old tiles, sigurado ako na maganda ang kapit. Todo bantay ang father ko nung pina-construct itong bahay. Yung mga walls nga, reklamo mga workers na sobrang tigas, hirap tibagin. Napapakamot nalang sa ulo yung contractor dahil hindi din nya na-anticipate ito.

Ang question ko lang is kung gaano kaganda ang kapit ng new tiles sa old tiles kapag mag tile over tile ako.

Does anyone here know if effective ba maglagay ng ducting from bedroom to walk-in closet to cool the walk-in closet?

[shadow]

ganito na lang gawin mo boybi. ganyan din problema namin sa walking closet mainit, ganito ginawa ko, kung hinde pwede magbutas at maglagay ng window A/C sa closet bumili ka na lang portable a/c then ang yun exaust duct ng portable a/C eh yun na lang pagawa mo na palabas ng ceiling. meron na naman kasamang duct yun portable a/C pagawa mo lang yun dulo na nakafix na sa ceiling, lalamig pa ang closet and CR niyo. pag ebak ka at nainit pasok mo yun portable A/C sa CR...hehehe ganun ginagawa ko eh.

as for your tile to tile, I'm not sure about that. gawain ng tamad yan eh mukhang tinatamad contractor mo. do it right the first time, kailan ka pa ba ulit mag pa renovate? paalis mo lahat ng lumang tiles tutal nag renovate ka na eh para isang gawaan na lang.
