Home DIY projects during Pandemic season

 

Replacement of heater knob

Unclogging external drain

Replacement of regular for energy-saving bulb

Replacement of WC pump

Replacement of washroom pipe

Realignment of kitchen sink pipe

I have been busy with house chores fixing this here and there from wear and tear as the house enters its early 30s. Mikhail has been very helpful and is very good in the plumbing arena. To call the electrician or plumber is expensive where in one instance, we had to pay the plumber could could not solve the blockage problem where the most he did was poke the flexihose in the distributor pipe but that's about it. The realignment of the kitchen sink pipe cost RM20 and saved me RM2000 instead of breaking up the kitchen floor to repair the original kitchen piping system as quoted by 2 plumbers. The purchase of the external drain flexi-pipes and attachments cost RM160+ and heaven knows how much the plumber would charge to clear the external drain blockage. The replacement of the WC pump helped resolve the silent leak into the WC helping us to cut down on water bill.
