I need advice about checking contractors's work

gyugu — Sun, 24 Jan 2021 14:49:57 +0800

Hello, as stated in the title above. Is there any advice you would give to people who are totally new to house renovation?

Long version:
I have problems on insisting they should do thing certain way because

1. I'm not well verse in the construction stuff thus even it looks bad, I'm not sure if I should say something.
2. I tend to think that contractor would do the best that they can for customer.

But sadly the 2 is not always the case. My steel meter pipe was connected with hdpe joint. Thus, the meter pipe position become crooked? Bent? Basically it doesn't look good. The next thing I notice is the hdpe pipe connected to the kitchen is not properly buried in the ground.

So, Is there any advice you could give to me? Is there any specific part I should look out for?

Thank you in advance.

Treatment for Eczema and Keratosis Pilaris

For those who clicked this must have already know about it. So I won't waste time to talk about it. But you can click here If you don't know about it.

I have eczema for 2 years and half already and tried many methods, clinically and home remedies. I just want to share the routine to lessen your suffering..lol because what works for me might work for you.

I've used and consume many kind of medicine that I was prescribed with by doctors of gov clinic to swasta one, lotions and tablets. It worked but at some point of time it just don't. I consume Hydroxyzine hydrochloride tablets, Betamesone cream and tried a few others that I can't remember their name . A friend of mine, a nurse told me about effect of medicine (steroids) on kidney and all. I scared. So I tried home remedies.

There are a few things that I find works for me

1. Extra Virgin Olive oil
Consume one tablespoon in the morning everyday and rub it on affected areasThe taste is quite weird. I hate the taste and smell but at least it works. My nails become shiny after a few application and it's good for your hair too.

You can get it in hypermarket (Giant, Tesco or Mydin at cooking oil section) for RM6.90 to RM30.00 depends on the brands.

2. Virgin coconut oil
Recommended by my friend, I tried VCOA treenea capsules. Two capsules per day one in the morning and another one - I poke it and rub the oil on the affected areas at night. Like EVOO I think the taste isn't good too but at least I can't really taste it because it is enclosed in tablets. Price range for RM39 - RM40 for a bottle of 60 capsules. It also lessen keratosis pilaris and acne on my cheek, forehead and my back.

Now, there are so many VCO brands. The one I use is Treenea, you can get it from me (for RM45 including postage) or google it online.
Another brand that I think is good is catalyst (use by a friend). You can search it online or go to stores that sell health and beauty products

3. Physiogel Hypoallergenic lotion/cream
I apply it on my skin when I want to go out before I wear stockings
This is the best lotion and cream that I've used, prescribed by a doctor - very good to moisturize my dry cracked skin. If you have dry skin you can also try this. There are lotion and cream. Cream is more concentrated and lotion, a bit cair but both are good.

You can find it at Guardian or Watson. I usually buy it at Guardian though. RM48 to RM60 per bottle.

Now, I stick to VCOA and Physiogel Hypoallergenic lotion/cream
My fingerprint is appearing..lol I always get scolded if ppl need my fingerprint. My suggestion to other people who has eczema like me.
1. It is good once in a while to wash or soak your affected areas, (mine are feet, hands and face) with warm water.
2. Sleep early, it helps to reduce acne and the tiny small little bump on your face (keratosis pilaris). Apply VCO/VCOA on the tiny bump after you wash your face at night.
3. Don't scratch even if it is itchy, that just make it worst. Rub or clean it with warm water instead.
