AirBnb Superhost Reward

We have Airbnb listing at Genting Highlands. We have been Superhost for the past 4 reviews. To our surprise, on the 4th review, we received our reward of USD100 or roughly equivalent to RM400++.

This is a good reward as it is not easy to be Superhost as you need to ensure that your unit is tip top condition and have good communication with your guests.

Hope we can get Superhost status again for the next review.

Bosch Hammer Drill Repair Shop

I have a Bosch hammer drill model GBH 2-26 DRE. I bought 2 years ago. Before it broke down, I used it heavily to hack my toilet walls. My mistake was when the hammer drill was hot, I just stopped using it for around 10 minutes then used it again.

After that, I noticed my Bosch hammer drill could only rotate in a particular position. After few times using it, it completely stopped functioning.

I sent it for repair as my warranty already expired. The repairman Kelvin, was very responsive when I query via WhatsApp.

When he was repairing it, he checked first the wire because according to him, Bosch burnt wire is common problem with Bosch hammer drill.

When he detected no current flow  from power plug to the drill then he cut the burnt wire.

It cost me only RM10 to repair the Bosch hammer drill.

My Property Investment Journey on Delima Apartment Bukit Jelutong Selangor

In May 2021, I surveyed properties at Delima and Seroja apartments at Bukit Jelutong. I booked a unit at Delima apartment after I found it was quite good condition and affordable price vs other properties in Delima and Seroja.

Due to MCO, I was only to able sign the Sales & Purchase agreement by October 2021.

Then started the repair and renovation in 1st November and completed it by 26th December 2021.

My contractor did repair and renovation only on Sunday as he did it on part time basis. So in total he did the works for 8 days.

Even though still repair and renovation work in progress, I advertised for rent the unit by 15th December 2021 on mudah.my. Fortunately able to get a  booking by a tenant by night on same day. I think I got fast booking because the unit was repair,  clean and put additional touch ups that make the unit look better and tenants can live comfortably.

Kitchen Concrete Table Top

I get my apartment to be installed with concrete table top because I believe concrete table top is long lasting compared to normal table top like IKEA. It is really water proof.

My contractor started to work on it on 7th November and got it completed by 25th December 2021. Actually they just work on Sunday as my contractor did it on part time basis.

So basically they did it on 7, 14, 21, 28th  November and continued on 5, 12 & 25th December. They didn’t work on 19th December due to big flood at Shah Alam area.

In total it took 7 days to complete the kitchen concrete table top.

Remove Concrete Cement Stains Dust Using Acid & Vinegar

I did renovation at my apartment as usual there were lots of cement / concrete stains and its dust on the floor tiles.

Using Acid To Remove Concrete Stains & Dusts

After pouring the acid (mix half acid with half water), at same time you need to scrap the floor to remove the concrete / cement stains.

The tiles became clean even some black spots on tiles could be removed.

You can buy the acid at hardware store.

Even though the concrete cement stains were removed but there were still concrete cement dusts.

Using Vinegar to Remove Concrete Cement Dusts

I had use normal floor cleaner, mop the floor few times but it seems the concrete cement dusts still can be felt by my feet.

When I use vinegar (mix half vinegar and half water), then mop the floor the mop was able to trap the dusts more efficiently.

I highly recommend use vinegar to remove the concrete cement dusts as it is cheap solution and it is really effective.
