Hacking and piping for fibre cables

michaelangelo — Wed, 12 Feb 2025 06:01:07 +0800

May I know if anyone has installed the unifi lately for landed house? Can pls share your experience...

My house is under renovation now and my electrician did the hacking and piping to put the fibre cable (white color) inside the house ( at the dining area). He said the external fibre is black color and the internal one is white cable. Today I went to consult the unifi customer service advisor and he told me they no longer use the white color fibre for internal , they use all black from external to internal. Even though I put in the white fibre cable, they will not use it. He advised me to ask the electrician to just put any cable inside the pipes and when the TM installer come they can just put the fiber cable and use the cable that we have put earlier to help bring in their cable and pull it to wherever the termination point in the house.

Is this correct? Because the electrician charged me for the fibre cable and the hacking job…

I plan to install unifi for my landed house, there is already a black fibre cable from the TM pole to the external of my house.

I am wondering what is the correct way of doing it so that I don't have to pay double for the labour.

Appreciate your kind assistance. Thanks

plumbing for old house

michaelangelo — Thu, 19 Sep 2024 20:25:15 +0800

I am renovating my house and will change all plumbing system and pipings. Initially the contractor told me the pipes will run from the main pipes to the 1st floor then to the water tank and to the kitchen . However, when he saw there are plaster ceilings on my 1st floor, he changed and said to run from ground floor all the way back to the kitchen and then only go up to the water tank. I suspected he didn't want to hack my plaster ceilings and told me the pressure will be better for me. Ground floor has no plaster ceiling at the moment but will put plaster ceiling later.

Is this the right way to do the plumbing for old houses without hacking on the floor?

Thanks for all your kind advice!

Has anyone tried Amazing Grace nut butter?

I just bought a bottle of almond nut butter from Amazin' Grace and the almond butter got no taste at all. No smell nothing.
So i wrote an email to ask how come the almond nut butter got no taste and the reply i got was:
"Our products contain no added preservatives and it is made from pure almonds only. Hope this clarifies."

Jeez, i bought the almond butter from Jaya Grocer and it taste way better with no preservatives also. At least it taste like almond..

Anyone here bought the almond butter before?
How is the taste and consistency like?

Bought few wood furnitures early this year and moved into my new condo in July. 1 coffee table, 3 stools and some chairs. Holy cow!Now, most of them are infested with termites! Quite scary when i first noticed it...the ants are all over the coffee table..and since they are out..the coffee table are full of holes now...

Termites silently eating my furniture and even making holes on my wall!!so unbelievable when i saw many tiny holes on the wall where the wood furniture was leaning!

Any wood expert here? can advise what to do...
