Good roof and plaster ceiling contractor

farscope — Wed, 25 Sep 2024 08:23:33 +0800

Want to find a good and reliable roof contractor around Kepong/KL area.

Having some water leak during heavy rains. Personally went up to the roof and attic to check but no visible crack. Judging from leak area and pattern, most likely water sipping from wall and drainage gutter instead of roof tiles itself.

Anyone have any good recommendations? Would like to see my options before I go back to my original roof contractor which was 6 years ago..

Moving items to Sg

farscope — Sun, 04 Sep 2022 09:27:15 +0800

Hi,

i will be moving to Singapore end of this year and have some personal belongings to bring over..

wanna ask whether to transport with car or engage a mover or just courier the things over..

my concern:
- transport with car may be more inconvenient as i need to cross border (not to mention jam), apply entry permit, declare items, leave the country within 24 hours and probably still need to stay overnight in JB before going back KL. All in cost may not be cheaper than engage mover or courier

Honestly, i do not have too many items to transport but was just thinking on the inconvenience of moving myself.

anyone would like to share your experience?

items that i considered to bring over:
- my PC
- my camera drybox (worse case will just buy 1 there)
- some coffee equipment
- misc personal items
- my bike (if my new place is big enough..)

LGA775 cooler on LGA1511

farscope — Thu, 27 Dec 2018 21:25:12 +0800

Hi guys, long time never post in LYN.

I recently upgraded my PC to the latest i5.

I have an older after market cooler that I intend to reuse on the new PC otherwise will go to waste. But unfortunately my mobo doesn't has the LGA775 socket holes for the cooler mounting.

I'm thinking anyone tried to mod the mounting pins or use another recent cooler pins to replace it?

Any ryzen users with after market cooler willing to spare me their extra LGA1511 brackets to test?

My other concern is the headroom height. The LGA1511 looks a tad bit higher than my LGA775.

Note: existing cooler is Xigmatek Red Scorpion, the mounting pin is screwed in from the middle.

Lights and fan options for

farscope — Sat, 26 Sep 2015 11:55:52 +0800

Hi guys,

my existing house has a air well in the middle with very good catchment of natural lights (from 3 sides of the air well in fact). I planned to remain the air well and to be used as dining area.

However, would need some opinion and experience on how ppl deal with high ceilings to install lights and fan.

Ceiling height: 15 ft

Fan options:
Normal/designer ceiling fan @ 14 ft
Wall fan @ 8ft (but ugly)

Light options:
4 pc Normal downlight @ 15 ft (but changing bulb etc will be problem and need high wattage to beam down)
Track light @ 10 ft (spotlight towards dining table but afraid not enough light to lit whole area)
Wall light (to be coupled with track light, shooting upwards at ceiling for overcast reflection)

Sorry cheapskate no budget hire ID for whole house, doing everything from scratch myself. Contractor has given opinion but would like to gather more from forumers

Laminate vs vinyl

farscope — Thu, 24 Sep 2015 09:38:13 +0800

I planned to install laminated floorings for my single storey house rooms. But some contractors told me better to install vinyl on ground floor due to the moisture from the ground will affect the laminated wood.

Current floor is normal concrete floor, no waterproofing done underneath. Proposed a 3mm rubber underlay will be installed before laminated wood. Should be able to tackle this issue.

Anyone care to share their experience? Thanks

[WTA] keypad problem

farscope — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 01:39:43 +0800

hi guys,

currently I have a SE k618i which suffers some keypad problem.

there seems to be some keyport short circuit or wat that affects the typing.
e.g. when i press keypad 4, the screen will appera 444444 or 444111777.. means the first column seems to be totally out of control (1, 4, 7 *)

recently it got even worse, all the keypad starts to show the same thing.. down become down + enter, left right disorder.. etc..

so my question is, can this be fixed? personally or by shop? how much will it be charged normally and where can i do so?

wish to fix this asap and yr help is greatly appreciated..

Thank you..

Temperature sensor stuck?

farscope — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 11:09:56 +0800

Hi guys, I have a very simple question only.

I just reseat my HSF to a better one but i notice 1 of my Core temperature stuck at the floor of 40°C and never go below tat. while the other core is able to idle at 33°C.

I've tried to ask at Cooling section at OC thread but no ones seems to be free to reply me.

Google around and seems like it's pretty common for 45nm proc to have temperature sensors stuck at the floor. but they did not mention on how to resolve it.

Will reseating the processor resolve this matter or it is as good as gone now?

will not consider RMA bcz it's juz stuck at the floor, not the ceiling.. i still can read the max temperature when it starts to climb above 40°C

thanks and regards
