Fabricated the extensions for the horizonal members to connect them to the steel upright. 21 pieces in all and a major pain in the back.
W.I.P Update... Installed some of the horizontal elements. Pretty straightforward... drill pilot hole, screw in stainless steel hex bolt.
Still need to finish the rest toward the bottom of the fence, and at the far end to connect to the other steel post.
Stay posted.
This weekend I got around to removing the old chainlink fence to put up the new timber fence, but I got interrupted by rain. I managed to get the chainlink down, but only managed to get the main framework of the wooden fence up, which is the hardest part of the job anyway.
Chainlink fences are held up with these iron bolts, which have a habit of rusting through and fusing together so that it's impossible to get them off with a wrench.

Over the weekend I managed to track down a timber yard in Puchong that sells resak wood, the wood of choice for outdoor applications as its very hard and very durable. 2 sizes are needed, 2x1 inches for vertical support columns and 1.5x1/2 inches for the horizontal strips.
The door arrived at the crib first thing in the morning. The workers got cracking right away. Power tools are amazing. With the power router, the guy managed to precisely cut the slots in the door for the hinges within a matter of seconds.
Some hours later, at lunchtime the door is in its rightful place.
With clearance underneath for the Inovar Flooring to go. And some grubby fingerprints.

Just one shot for today, and that's the wardrobe getting its doors. Anti-jump sliding doors are par for the course these days.
Just some work-in-progress pictures to keep you all excited lah.
Note this happened before the parquet refinishing, but I didn't post this up yet.
All the components for the wardrobe.
Aligned with laser.
The wardrobe carcass in place.

The hours spent walking the corridors of the Perfect Livin exhibition were not in vain as we left PWTC having bought both floor and door.
Floor
Put down a RM500 deposit to secure price of Inovar laminate flooring @ RM5 per square foot including installation, for Basiq Series.
Door
Got this for RM580. Solid door, veneer. 3ft x 8ft. This is 1 foot taller than standard as I wanted a taller main door. Feels grander when you enter the house.
Comes with this lockset for an additional RM150
The purchases above qualify us for 2 spins of CIMB's Wheel of Fortune...
Which I totally OWNED by hitting the 20,000 point jackpot.
Now there's a picture for posterity.
