A story of two houses

 The house I sold

To build this house

Over budget

Almost everything has been done to the house but as we all know, there are still plenty of things to do. Its only when we start living in the house do we know or discover about them. The same goes with this house. If I were to follow my heart, there are a thousand and one things that I still want to do but I have to follow my head. The main consideration is money of course. Its is livable at the moment. Its more than enough but there are little thins here and there that still can be done to make it even better. .......... but that can wait. As it is, I am already running over budget.

Problem wth the pump

With the pump, the water in the two bathrooms is now fast and plenty. Great to have a bath or do whatever with that kind of water. Before it was so slow and so little. However, when adding the pump to the water system, the piping, the taps, the toilet bowl, the rubber host and all the rest of the system must be tip top. A slight leak will cause the pump to run almost non stop. When we first fixed the pump, it was running almost non stop twenty four hours a day. We knew there must be a leak somewhere but try as we might, we couldn't find it anywhere. The piping were all good, no leak. The rubber host were tip top, no leak. The taps were all good, no leak. It was actually leaking in the toilet bowl. On stopping the leak, the pump also stop running except only when we we turn on the taps.

Pump fixed

We managed to get the pump fixed on Sunday. The plumber was at the house from morning till almost three in the afternoon fixing it. After that, the water from the tank to the two bathrooms was great. Fast and plenty, just the way we like it. Only problem is the pump seems to be running all the time even when we are not turning on the taps. Hope something can be done about it. Otherwise, the electricity bill is going to be high.

Visitors to the house

Atak, Ni and family, Yong, Mahathir and family plus Ja came to the house on Saturday. Had a great time entertaining them. Not always we have gathering like this. As we grow older, such occasions are time to cherish. Had a nice lunch with fishes fresh from the sea.
