Renovating a house can be a daunting journey. It starts with finding the right house in the right location, oozing with charm and potential, and then bearing with the road to the final pay-off of a home for life.
Many document only the glossy parts of renovating a home. But homeowner Kenneth Tan, a restaurant owner who worked on a 50-year-old single- storey terraced house in Kuala Lumpur during the lockdown, aimed to share all the grit and sweat of renovating his home on his Instagram account.
Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
