Officially we have actually moved in as well. However, there have been bits of pieces which is beyond our layman's imagination that occurred after the completed project. Just when I was pondering where I should post the tiny changes which may come about from time to time, I finally decided to create another topic just to bundle all tiny bits of pieces in.

First of all, the biggest problem we encounter is water leakage.
We found out over a period of a month, that certain directional down pour leads to water leakage into the side wall paint especially under the window frame.
There is one spot of water leakage too, spotted over the ceiling.
For that, we called back Ah Phan, along with his trusted deputy Ah Lee, who has investigated the problem.
The solution is to install Awning, improve the water sealing around the edge of the window frame, and get Ah Phan to reduce water pooling outside the window frame when it rains.
Here's Ah Phan's man at work to help installing the Awning.
Completed job.
Note the Silicon Sealant on the edge of the Awning to prevent leakages. This particular Awning is tougher to install due to the placement of the Air Conditioner Condenser above. We actually have to shift the Condenser upwards by a few good inches to create space for the Awning.

It has been a long time.
Other than the usual wear and tear, we did encounter a couple of problems to our house. Water pipe leakage was one and it was duly rectifed. This time no picture was taken as I was working when the fixing was done.
Then another issue is the Power Surge problem.
We encountered almost definite power cut off whenever there was thunder storm. If that is not enough, I have so far encounter sensitive electronic equipment damages as well.
So far one PSU of my home computer was burnt. After it was changed, the unit return to normal. And even my amplifier has experienced failure of remote sensing, which I think is due to the surge as well.
After making a few enquiries and posting the problem ONLINE HERE, I finally engaged a professional company to solve the problem. Here's how its done:
Plus we add another earthing rod (about 12 feet long near the TNB power entry point) to divert surge and lessen the burden from the house unit.
Now we shall wait for more thunderstorm to verify its usability.
