Bathroom sliding door

yktan — Mon, 16 Jan 2023 11:36:34 +0800

Hi, this is a DIY question and I am not sure if category is a suitable one.

I have a tempered glass sliding shower screen installed for my bathroom more than 10 years ago and now one of the section is stuck. I am guessing the little wheels are damaged and would like to unhinge/detach the door to fix them. Most of the DIY videos for other models of sliding doors shows that the sliding doors can be unhinged from the rail by lifting the door sections. I am not able to lift the doors at all even after removing the clips at the bottom of the door.

Can anyone who is knowledgeable about this share how can I detach the doors? Here are some pictures of the sliding shower screen:

DIY autogate wiring

yktan — Wed, 30 Oct 2013 14:21:46 +0800

Hi, my current concealed autogate wiring seems to have a short-circuit somewhere. I am planning to DIY a new wire to connect the autogate control box to a wall socket in the car porch. My question to experienced DIYers:

(1) What sort of electrical wire should I buy? I heard of electricians mentioning "armored wire", where can I buy those?
(2) Since the car porch is exposed to sun and weather, it good enough to protect the wiring with just normal pvc casing?

Thanks!

New business

yktan — Mon, 23 Sep 2013 17:29:11 +0800

Hi, need some advice on those who have done this before. If I would like to start a new business selling phones and tablets (sole proprietorship), how do I contact the distributors so that I can buy some stock? I have been trying to contact Asus distributors (ECS AStar and Servex) via email but they are not replying. What would be the normal procedure for a retailer to get stock from distributors? I am interested in small amounts of stock from Asus, Samsung and HTC (phones and tablets).

Recommendation for a high speed 2.5" enclosure

yktan — Mon, 27 May 2013 17:40:09 +0800

Hi, I am interested in making my own high speed external SSD by putting an SSD into a 2.5" USB3 harddisk enclosure. Since the bottleneck of the data transfer speed will likely be at the harddisk enclosure's controller (The ASMEDIA 1051 controller was specified as an example of a good controller), I am looking for recommendations of a suitable 2.5" USB3 harddisk enclosure.

Any recommendations of a high speed and affordable 2.5" hdd enclosure?

Thanks

[WTA] Fixed IP Broadband for personal

yktan — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 18:07:07 +0800

Hi, I am looking for a personal broadband (no need to have registered company to apply) that will provide me with 1 fixed ip.

The reason is I need to access certain secured sites that require me to have fixed ip (like bank firewalls that open to a specific ip, not domain).

I searched unsuccessfully for some time, but the big guys (like Maxis and TM) only provide fixed ip packages to SMEs or corporate customers. Any suggestions?

Dog vaccination questions

yktan — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 00:40:12 +0800

Hi there, I would like some opinion from you guys.

When I got my puppy from a pet shop, the first vaccination was already given by the panel vet. When I brought him to another vet for his second shot (1 month after the first shot was given), the vet said that the first shot was given 2 days too early and he suggested that I repeat the first shot because the mummy's milk contains antibody that might render the first shot useless(I am wondering how he knows when the puppy was weaned of his mummy's mik). That means instead of the standard 3 shots, he suggested 4 shots. My puppy was 40 days old when he got his first shot, so I suppose he should have gotten his first shot at 42 days old.

Does the 2 days make a difference? Why I am hesitant to give him another shot:
(1) I read on some places that vaccinations on puppies stresses their immune system a lot and they don't recommend too much vaccinations done. In fact, some US vets only give 2 shots (I am not sure if the vets in Malaysia are using the same vaccine as them).
(2) Another shot means I have to wait another month before bringing my puppy outside of my house for walks. I think he is already bored to death with my car porch

What's your experiences/opinions?

Thanks.
