rumahku syurgaku: Painting

While some of our neighbours are being busy with their house renovation, we have plan and decided to move on from my in law house. But we did it slowly because we don’t want rushing to move. We didn’t do much to our home sweet home. Our major renovation to the house is only focusing on plaster ceiling. Actually we don’t have much money to make a renovation. Plus we didn’t want to make a loan from a bank that can increase the commitment. It okay we will make it slowly but for the time being I don’t think we will do anything to our house. InsyaALLAH if our financial is stable and became strong we will do it and my target is on 2015. Yes I know it was a long journey to go but better late than never right?

So in this post I would like to share about our painting job. To save the money we did it by ourselves. Although exhausted but we satisfied with the end result. I have ask for a few quotations for this job and on average the wage cost is about RM2k++ not include the paint price. That’s why we decide to do it by ourselves because the cost for painting is only RM500++. What a big different right? Because we did it by ourselves so it needs almost 2 months to finish it.

feel dizzy - to much colour to choose

Paint mixer machine

We buy 6 different colours for six different areas and of course I’m was the one who pick the colour..hehe. For the living hall, dining area and master bedroom we decide to do one side feature wall while the other areas is in white colour. I’ll do some search to find the best paint with the best price and decide to use Nippon paint odourless after consider what will happen to our wall in the next few years and what will Harraz and Adelea do to the wall. Yes I admit the price is quite expensive but after thinking those entire problems we agree to buy it. The price is different depends on colour we choose.

Finish wet kitchen

For the living hall I choose Full Wine 192A about 3 litters to fill 10ft x 10ft wall and the total cost is RM118, dining area and master bedroom I choose Paradise Water 1143D and Perky Plume 7133D respectively, both about 1 litter cost RM35. While for wet kitchen I pick Marsh Marigold 7043D and I buy 5 litters because I want to use it for playroom also and it cost RM125. I use two colours for playroom area, one is Marsh Marigold and 2 litters Green Lime 13A cost RM70. Then for entire space exclude feature wall is white colour Jotun brand and total we cost RM100 (forgot the price) for 32 litters. So gross cost for painting RM 483 + the accessories. Nice haa but tired..haha.
