Unifi installation (Internet and streaming TV)

27 Nov 2013

Today, Telecom Malaysia (TM) came to install and connect the Internet modem.



The good news is that developer had already ran the optic  is open. Which means that the telephone line could not make or receive calls. We have to connect the phone to the master room upstairs in order to use the phone.

4 Dec 2013

One week after our installation, and the network is down. Called up TM and made an appointment for technician to come and check the connection.

9 Dec 2013

Today, service technician came to check the line and connection. He suspected the connectors were not installed properlly, hence, changed all the connectors. Including the ones at the distribution box outside our house.

Still, there were no signal coming into the optical modem. He used a device to measure the signal, and it was way too low. Therefore, he suspects the connection between the distribution box and the house is bad. 

There was nothing else he could do and had to head back to check with his supervisor.

11 Dec 2013

Called the service tech about the status of our bad connection. According to his supervisor, the connection outside is managed by the developer. Hence, I had to make a defect report with the developer, and I did so. Was given an appointment for the following Monday.

16 Dec 2013

The developer site supervisor came to find out about the defects on the internal phone line problem and the external optic connection problem. He then arranged for the relevant contractor to come and rectify the problem on the next day.

17 Dec 2013

The internal wiring contractor came but could not do anything as the external wiring problem needs to be fixed first. Hence, another appointment with the external wiring contractor was arrange the following Tuesday.

24 Dec 2013

Fortunately, this time round, the TM technician and contractor came together to rectify the problem. It was found that the external optic fiber was connected to a wrong port. Thank God, we have our internet back. The next thing will be to get the internal phone line fixed.

Furnitures

15 Dec 2013

Thought I just post a pic of the chair we bought:-


We chose white instead if this colour.  We will search for a side or coffee table to go with these two chairs. We did not like the chrome legs.

We bought the above chairs and dining table set from mylano, and a sofa set from ibenz.

The above chairs cost RM1,200 each.
The Dining set with 6 chairs cost RM4,990.
The sofa set cost RM2,900.

Forgot to take photos of dining set and sofa set. Will update when they arrive, which is about a month later.

Electrical Works Update

18 Dec 2013
Its a while since my last update. Been busy procrastinating. Anyway, here's an update of what had been done so far.
Holes were cut to prepare for installation of down lights:-
Dining area


Living room


Next I needed to paint the plaster ceiling before they install the lights. 

Got a quotation from a contractor who quoted RM12,500 to paint the exterior and interior of house. A voice called out to me:"Expensive!" Hence, I asked him about painting the newly installed plaster ceiling only. Guest what, RM2,000. 
I decided to roll up my sleeves and do it myself.

Painting plaster ceiling



Bought this tub of 18 liter white paint for RM68. Painted all the plastered ceiling with a quarter remaining. Was told not to use it on the walls as it will develop powder after a few years. Did not know that and painted some parts of the wall. Will have to repaint the wall with new paint later.

Below are some pics of the completed paint job:-

Dining area ceiling


Dry kitchen ceiling


Meanwhile, we continue our search for lamps. 

We got a pair of this lamp for our living room. Hopefully it will fit in well. Keeping fingers crossed.


Did not take the other lights and fans cos they don't allow. Will update when they are installed.

Now, will show pics of installed down lights:-

Dining hall


Living room


Yard 


I will update more on the lights after the next installation.
