In my case the head cleaning, didn’t solve the color printing problem.

3) Power Cleaning

Choose the Power Cleaning. Epson advises to do it once in 12 hours as it consumes much ink. In my case, it used 5-10% of my black ink.

The Nice Color Printing

After I did the Power Cleaning, now my Epson prints the color correctly.

Pengalaman Membeli Rumah Lelong

Saya dah lama ingin membeli rumah teres dua tingkat di Denai Alam, cuma ianya agak mahal dan agak susah berdasarkan harga rumah semasa untuk saya cover loan rumah dengan duit sewa rumah.

Jadi saya menunggu peluang untuk dapat rumah yang berpatutan, sehingga lah ada sebuah rumah di Denai Alam yang dilelong pada harga RM485k dan saya berjaya bida pada harga RM530k.

Rumah lelong ini saya beli pada Januari 2023.

Harga pasaran semasa adalah dalam RM650k – RM700k di kawasan tersebut.

Kajian Pasaran

Sebelum saya bercadang untuk membeli rumah di Denai Alam, saya telah melakukan kajian dari segi

  1. harga sewa semasa
  2. kesenangan untuk mencari penyewa (vacancy rate)
  3. persaingan rumah sewa lain dari segi kemudahan yang disediakan seperti kitchen cabinet etc.

Berdasarkan kajian, saya dapati kena ada kitchen kabinet, kipas siling & lampu (mesti ada). Selain itu saya tambah water heater dan water pump untuk memudahkan saya mendapat penyewa dengan lagi cepat.

Selain itu, vacancy rate adalah dalam 2 – 3 bulan.

Peluang Rumah Lelong & Lawatan Tapak

keadaan rumah lelong

Rumah ini telah dilelong untuk kali ketiga, menyebabkan harga rizab jatuh kepada RM480k. Bila saya tanya jiran berdekatan, mereka memberitahu pemilik sebelum ini cuba menjual rumah terbabit tetapi disebabkan MCO covid, tidak ada pembeli sampailah dilelong.

Saya dapati rumah terbabit mempunyai grille, kipas dan lampu. Keadaan cat luar macam baru dicat.

Kerosakan yang ketara ialah atap bocor selain itu ada semak samun di depan dan belakang rumah.

Sesi Lelongan Di Talian (online)

Selepas membuat analisis, saya telah mengambil keputusan untuk bida rumah terbabit. Saya sasarkan harga maksimum saya akan bida ialah RM500k.

Saya menang bidaan rumah tersebut pada harga RM530k. Terlebih RM30k! Ini kerana ada 6 orang yang ikut serta lelongan ini.

Baca artikel ini yang  menceritakan lagi mendalam pengalaman saya membida rumah lelong ini.

Proses Pinjaman Rumah & Guaman

Selepas menang, saya cepat-cepat uruskan memohon pinjaman dengan bank dan proses guaman di mana saya minta sebutharga untuk yuran guaman.

Sebenarnya saya dah buat ini sebelum masuk lelong lagi. Cuma saya jadikan secara rasmi dengan menghantar borang permohonan.

Baca artikel ini yang menceritakan lagi mendalam mengenai proses guaman rumah lelong.

Kerja-kerja Baik Pulih & Renovasi

keadaan toilet rumah lelong - masuk rumah selepas menang

Sementara menunggu kelulusan pinjaman bank, saya mula masuk ke rumah lelong tersebut memandangkan rumah tersebut memang kosong pun. Saya ambil gambar kerosakan rumah dan sebagainya. Seterusnya plan renovasi apa yang patut dibuat di rumah tersebut.

Saya sediakan dokumen di mana saya tampal gambar-gambar, ukuran rumah dan skop kerja renovasi.

Saya bagi kepada beberapa kontraktor untuk dapatkan bajet kerja-kerja baik pulih.

Saya lakukan kerja-kerja baik pulih, selepas mendapat kelulusan pinjaman bank walaupun belum sampai langkah “fund disbursement” iaitu di mana bank pinjaman saya membayar baki harga lelong kepada bank yang melelong rumah terbabit.

Tindakan ini agak berisiko, ini kerana kalau bank lambat bayar baki harga lelong, rumah boleh dilelong sekali lagi dan segala kos baik pulih saya sendiri akan tanggung kerugian.

Tetapi saya telah membuat pengiraan di mana saya dapat kurangkan risiko dilelong semula apabila berbincang dengan peguam bank.

Baca artikel ini yang menceritakan lagi mendalam mengenai kerja-kerja baik pulih yang saya lakukan di rumah terbabit.

Bekalan Api, Air & IWK

Saya juga menukar dengan cepat nama pemilik Air Selangor. Ini kerana bekalan air telah dipotong. Untuk membuat kerja-kerja baik pulih saya perlu sambungkan semula air dengan menukar nama pemilik Air Selangor

Selain itu, saya juga menukar pemilik pengguna TNB. Ini disebabkan TNB telah mengeluarkan notis pemotongan bekalan. Saya juga tidak ingin menggunakan elektrik yang mana akaun TNB masa atas nama pemilik lama kerana jika guna elektrik atas nama pemilik lama macam mencuri pula.

IWK pun saya tukar ke nama saya secepat mungkin.

Semua penukaran nama saya gunakan dokumen MOS (memorandum of sale) & POS (proclaimation of sale).

Iklankan Rumah Di Mudah.My

iklan rumah saya di denai alam di mudah.my
iklan rumah saya di denai alam di mudah.my

Saya dapat siapkan kerja-kerja baik pulih pada 11hb Mac 2023 dan walaupun masih ada sedikit kerja-kerja baik pulih masih berjalan, saya terus iklankan di Mudah.My.

Alhamdulillah, saya mendapat penyewa pada 16hb Mac untuk kemasukan 1hb April 2023. Saya mendapat penyewa dalam tempoh 5 hari.

Dalam kajian saya, saya agak akan dapat penyewa dalam 2 – 3 bulan tapi saya dapat dalam 5 hari sahaja.

Saya rasa ini berkat saya buat yang terbaik dengan buat kerja-kerja baik pulih, bersihkan rumah dan buat renovasi yang membuatkan orang selesa duduk rumah tersebut. Selain itu saya tidak mengenakan bayaran sewa yang tinggi berbanding pesaing-pesaing yang lain.

Installation of Panasonic Aircond 1HP X-Deluxe Inverter CS-XPU10XKH

My old Samsung aircond is faulty so I decided to replace it with Panasonic aircond inverter 1HP model CS-XPU10XKH. The installation was done on 31/03/2023.

Why I Use Panasonic?

I use Panasonic because I have good experience with my other Panasonic aircond. I found that Samsung aircond is bit hard to repair and I want to add the new aircond to my Panasonic mobile app so I can control the aircond remotely.

Besides, I found Panasonic aircond is cold, really silent and energy saver.

The Installation

The distance between the indoor to outdoor unit is 29 ft. For the first 10 ft the installation charges is RM250 and additional one feet the contractor charges RM17.

It took around 4 hours to do the installation from 230PM to 630PM.

How To Repair Bent Wall Mounting Bracket of Auto Gate

My auto gate wall mounting bracket was bent while reversing my car. So I need to straighten it back or the auto gate motor will be loosen in the long run.

The Solution

My contractor’s solution was simple, just use car jack, hammer and wood.

First, the contractor put a thin wood in between the jack and wall bracket.

Then he put the jack at the end of the bracket and start to straighten the wall bracket.

To ensure the bracket was straight from its tip till the wall, he used hammer but put wood on top of the bracket and the jack was still under the bracket.

Replace Sliding Door Rollers

I have 2 sliding doors that are hard to slide and making scratching sound. I know I need to replace the rollers, lubricate or remove any dusts inside the rollers.

Sliding Door #1 – Remove Dust & Hair, Lubricate and Grease

When I opened the first sliding door and remove the rollers from the frame, the rollers are still good, the only things it got dusts and hair. After cleaning the dust and hairs, my contractor lubricated it with WD-40 and put grease around the bearings.

Besides, the contractor puts grease on the sliding door rail.

After put back the roller, the sliding doors become smooth again. Solve problem #1.

Sliding Door #2 – Replace Old Rollers

For sliding door #2, the rollers didn’t really smooth anymore. So I decided to replace it with new one where the rollers bearing is concealed. This is better to avoid the rollers getting rough easily due to dust or hair.

Mcd Refund After Successful Payment but No Order Number

I order for McDonalds breakfast on 8th March 2023 via its mobile app. When I ordered and paid using credit card, the processing payment took so long. So I decided to close the McD mobile app and tried again.

Amount Successfully Deducted via FPX

After I tried for 8 times using credit card, I decided to use FPX. This time the amount is correctly deducted (when I checked my online account) even though it was still processing payment.  Unfortunately there were still no order number.

Went To Mcd Caltex Denai Alam

So I decided just to go and pick up my order to Mcd outlet. I ask Mcd employee whether they had received my order. According to him, they didn’t receive any of my order.

So I showed to him, that Mcd mobile app has deducted my account. The employee went to get his supervisor’s advise then he prepared my order and gave it to me.

I was happy because McD didn’t make a fuss about it. I had bad experience with KFC order where the payment went thought but no receipt come out and KFC didn’t entertain me. Since then, I rarely eat KFC. Haha.

Email Notification Payments Were Successful

When I back home and checked my email, I received alerts from Mcd mobile app that all my order was paid successfully.

I didn’t call McD immediately because I was waiting for my credit card statement where it was true that the payment was successful. When I wait few days the payments weren’t credited.

Refund from Mcd on the FPX Payment

To my surprise, I received refund from Mcd the payment that I made via FPX.

I already got my food then I got the refund. Now I have to go again to Mcd Denai Alam to refund them the RM6.50.

Conclusion

I made me confident of Mcd mobile app trusted ordering system. Besides, Mcd was really accommodating my order request even they don’t see my order number and not like KFC which is really sucks.

That’s why Mcd has more visitors compared to KFC.

How To Tighten Boltless Rack

I bought a boltless rack. I thought it was easy to install but to the contrary. The rack is loosen easily. Even though I have hammered it so many times, the rack still got loosen.

So I decided to rivet the rack and use screw washer to ensure the rivet doesn’t move due to the big hole. Only after that the rack become really robust.

Rivet Size

I use two rivets size, one short and one is longer with same hole size. I use those twos because I didn’t have enough rivets for the shorter rivets but of course the longer one has better grip.

5/32″ (hole size) x 3/8″  (grip range) and also rivet size of  5/32″ x 5/8″ can also be used.
