zerochristy 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2010 (edited) Woww....another exciting journey to begin..... me oso thinking of changing whole hse windows grills but the current grills are in funi pattern...they r pertruding out de....soo i think will need to change the windows as well in order to put the grills....if u got the best quote of the grills, do share with me....at least i hv a rough fig on how much more to save up....hahahhahaa.... If you say your grills are pertruding out most likely is like mine... but it look okie to me le... We wanted to change the windows cause got 2 case of window leaking... the very first time is at our MBR... we put silicon all around the window rubber black tubing so no water came in anymore... 2nd time is just recently.. it was raining heavily usually we did not ledge our windows so we just do the normal closing.. just put the windows inwards and secure it with the window "L" shape looking lock... came back at night than I saw a pond of small water on the floor... than did some CSI... found that the wind blow open the window than some water came in.... so basically that one our fault. I did some check the black rubber tubing around the window could no longer be use... cause I can see algae in the black tubing under the strong sunlight.... If I change the windows only I would also need to patch up the sides of the affected area so I think painting also is a must for at least the wall of the windows.

zerochristy 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2010 If you all have been following my T-Blog, I did highlight that we have some problem with our elect. We call up an electrician and he explain to us the real problem Problem 1: Power Trip in a bluemoon when we swith off the switches, mainly it come from the living room only. Due to: PLC lights. Yes its PLC lights thats the cause there is something in the PLC light which will cause power trip. So cannot do much on this but at least we know the real reason. Problem 2: Portable Oven when started to use and in heating mode the power trip. Due to: The oven itself... Yes less useage of the oven will cause the house power to trip. Its due to the water vapour in the oven itself so if we use the oven everytime than there will not be such problem. At lease we found a good electrician who is willing to explain the facts to us and not wasting each others time and spending $$ for no reason. Those who need Lic. Electrician can go to http://elise.ema.gov.sg/elise/homepage_public_menu.jsp Search under "Search Lic Worker" than click "Electrical Worker who offers services to consumer" can still see the electrician's photo too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
