June 13 Report post Posted November 18, 2013 Yea, for mine, it was the electrician didn't clip it on tight...that is why one was faulty. The other was truly a fault. But it was good to learn, so that we now know to check that before going all the way down to Jln Besar to get them "changed"There are so many things to learn as a homeowner and I'm really pulling out my hair! For me, the Reno was a breeze but the nightmare started after moving in. Living alone means I got to fix all the problems myself and given that my flat is a 29 yr old resale, I have been warned that problems will crop up one after another. Recently, I dreamt that the nails and screws in my flat started falling out one by one! That's really a nightmare! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

June 13 Report post Posted November 18, 2013 If u hv any update i will read de.. Lol.. Juz that ur previous case of water leaking i m not too sure myself so nv advise.. Finally graduating soon.. Moving barang next wed but official 10th Dec!Good to know that! Bet you will be very busy getting your place ready for Xmas and cny! Have fun!The seepage was another major headache. After getting gain city to do some patching and doing some sealing on my own based on my research, suggestions from frens and colleagues and my close scrutiny of the rain falling on my windows (I know this sounds crazy !), the problem is about 50% solved. I suspect the other 50% can only be rectified by changing my windows. But it's too expensive a solution Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks but Im quite determined not to do it, unless the problem gets worse and the wall starts to rot...! hahaha... the windows are so new bcos the sellers installed them 5 years ago but they live in the flat for only one year. its such a waste to tear them down..and i also dont want to spend my money on this.

June 13 Report post Posted November 19, 2013 I went down to the lighting shop today, hoping to bang table and get a replacement casing but as expected, my plan didnt work out. They were polite and helpful. but not helpful enough to give me a replacement. The guy in charge used a screw driver to poke the inside of the casing. The bulb didn't lit the first few times he tried but eventually it did. The guy told me its very strange and he couldnt explain why. I told him i cant be fiddling with it at home bcos i didnt know how to and I asked him for a replacement but he said he couldnt since its not spoilt. He told me tracklights are like that... .. Anyway, he was sympathetic enough to offer to come over to my place if I cant get it lit up....Sigh!!..... This will be the first and last time im having track lights in my house....nice to look at but temperamentalphoto.JPG by BachelorettePad, on Flickrphoto.JPG by BachelorettePad, on Flickr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
June 13 Report post Posted November 24, 2013 Preparations for Xmas starts now! ...What a year it has been! With just about one month to go before Xmas and new job responsibilities, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that everything will go as planned. Invitation is out, schedules booked and good friends overseas are flying back. So I must really pull off this one - all on my own! Wish me luck! photo.png by BachelorettePad, on Flickr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

June 13 Report post Posted December 16, 2013 I thought my blog is slowly fading into renotalk history since there hasn't been any updates from me for close to a month. But got a shock when I received two requests for my ID's contact and my blog is near the top of the list again. So now I feel obliged to give an update on the home front. So what's been happening ? NOTHING ! Absolutely nothing ! In my update last month, i said preparation for Xmas had started but soon after, it stopped. Because I was totally consumed by worK! And Xmas is just round the corner! I haven't even planned the Xmas menu yet for my party... Major panic!.... But it's okay... I'm sure I will survive ...Amidst all the projects at work this past month, it's amazing how I managed to squeeze in a simple paint job on an afternoon. All thanks to my friend who cancelled our appointment at the last minute. With the afternoon free, I dropped by a second hand store and bought a valet stand. photo.JPG by BachelorettePad, on Flickr Given that my flooring is wood tiles, I decided to spray paint the stand white. and this is the result photo.JPG by BachelorettePad, on FlickrI think its now a ' rubbish stand'...for me to hang all my stuff..anything that I'm too lazy to put inside e wardrobe...It's useful for hanging jackets and sweaters toophoto.JPG by BachelorettePad, on FlickrAnd sometimes, wet towels..photo.JPG by BachelorettePad, on FlickrI have also started growing more plants...including herbs... But it feels weird eating the herbs that I grow...Haha!photo.JPG by BachelorettePad, on FlickrOkay...enough of mundane updates...I really should be planning for Xmas.... merry Xmas everyone !
