Haha! That gymbar reminds me of my NS days.... Now my parents use it to hang the clothes after ironing them

Only the children bought things for their own use....a gymbar by the second son...

Finally passed the Electrical PE inspection yesterday!

First thing when the PE inspector arrived, he checked & confirmed the serial number of the meter.

Together with our electrician, he surveyed & checked around few electrical points in the house.

Some forms which I snapped while they were busy inspecting.....

After the PE inspection, our electrician modified and installed the remote control switch for the lights in MBR:

This is the remote control device for the lights:

This picture shows how the lights are controlled by the device:

Now, I can place the remote control device beside my bed and switch the lights at the touch of my fingers!

Woah still play Sissor-paper-stone? What a lovely couple! I remember I used to kick the other half down the bed if he was reluctant to switch off the lights.

Most of us have the light switch installed near to the entrance & have to walk a 'big round the bed' to switch the lights off. My MBR has night curtains & room is very dark at night when lights is off. So, it is a must have device for me.

Look like a good idea. How to have the remote control installed? Have to buy separately or electrician can do it for me?

It needs special wiring so you have to inform your electrician before he starts rewiring the house.

I remember reading your blog that you bring down one wall & make your bedroom bigger right? The remote device really cones handy for your big MBR.

Just let your electrician knows you want remote control switch for the lights in your MBR.

Hello, my friend

Hope you are doing well with you reno planning.

Unlike my hardworking ID, it is true that most ID or contractors may take ages to return for rectifications.

So, for my ID, I have only one word to describe his performance: EXCELLENT!

Mae

You are lucky your ID has good work attitude & responsible!

Have you PM me his contact?
