Happy anniversary again!

Happy 33th Anniversary treat was given by the children at an up-market restaurant at KLCC green landscape. Sabrina even gave wifey and me a cheeky SpongeBob integrated handphone cover that looks so funny when you put both handphones side-by-side. There is no doubt the key reason Rasul insisted healthy, responsible and mature couples to settle down, other than the obvious, is to improve one’s short comings pin-pointed by people who love you the most. There is no doubt a married life is very challenging and requires a focus heart and mind but then there’s no fun life if life didn’t have challenges, it will quickly be boring.

Roof top leakage sealed

 

Before job

Almost after job completion

After 32 years of living in our home sweet home, roof leakage appeared but not much earlier than my immediate neigbours. We bought the house at a time when the housing boom was fast increasing and houses were constructed rapidly but depending on your unfortunate luck, quite poor in quality so such complains were common in the neighbourhood.

This contractor recommended by a neighbour who had his roof leakage sealed offered a flexible quotation base on my budget: He would repair roof cracks according to the seriousness of crack. as he was confident houses like my type would have many roof cracks by now. Still, I told him my affordability was RM700 (Earlier quotations elsewhere were also around that figure) and he agreed. After visiting the roof top, he found many cracks along the roof top ledge and the tile as well as spots on tile cracks. He then came down to inspect from inside where the actual leaks occured and would concentrate on those areas, only three but bad enough to require me to place big plastic containers at strategic points whenever it rains heavily with quarter of a saucer full of rain water after a heavy downpour. However the ceiling crack caused by a shrub's 3' roots that found it way on the roof ledge saw rain pouring down quite profusely during heavy thunderstorms and that was serious as it was close to the router's extension cable.

I showed the clips to my neighbour who recommended him and he said considering the number of visible cracks shown, RM700 was reasonable price but we are actually paying more for the risk factor contractor and workers have to face up there because material cost was nominal. Yesterday, it rained heavily and all leaks stopped. Alhamduillah. The contractor gave a 6 months warranty from the date he completed the day-job.
