Renovation Updates :- Some loose ends ....

A Dummy / Noob Household Ethernet Networking

During renovation earlier I wanted some wires that transfer internet data that I see used in my office to be incorporated in my house.
At the time I do not really know what I was doing as I am not a technically versed guy.
I was just thinking that wire should transfer faster than wireless and wireless may not reach some areas (eg 1st floor) in the house.
So I asked my electrical wireman contractor to do it for me but he dunno and do not want to do it.
So I went out and bought a box of CAT 5e cable and gotten my wetwork contractor to conceal the cable for me.
The cable were left jutting out of the wall as the wetwork guy dunno how to "fix" the wire end.

This is a case of the blind (me-dunno) leading the blind (Contractor-dunno). 

Finally gotten some-one to "fix" the cable end. 

These picture location is the wall behind where the UNIFI's  BTU and Modem are located.

Loose Dangling CAT 5eCable jutting out from the wall.


The Cable are all attached to Keystone Jack and the Keystone jack to the Faceplate.


The Faceplate is finally attached/cupped to the wall (Inside the wall there is a faceplate wall base -the same thing used by wall power points)


Note: the other end are located in 4 diffrent part of the house where i think  I might use it in the future
2 are located behind the living room TV (HyppTV Box, possible small PC, possible Gaming Console)
1 are located on the 1st floor living room (possible extra wifi modem for 1st floor)
1 are located in the Master Bedroom

Finally all the avalaible ports from the current WiFi Modem are connected to the "Ah Beng's Ethernet Network" 


Could have done this soooo much better if i knew what I was doing initially. 

Errrr.... What is a server ah??? What does it do???? Can use server here ah??? What else can I do to utilise this network thing I have set up here??? 

Errr... from what I understand from your post you mean to have more than 1 receiving port (keystone jack with faceplate ) at the TV area , 6 port as you listed.
You have 2 ports at your TV area, you use 1 port and have balance 1 port unused.
How does a switch (what is a switch) helps to acheive this?

What is terminate???

Sorry for all the questions here. Technical dummy here. 

I presume your used UNIFI...is the Mikrotik configured to hoke up to UNIFI TV channel cable too? Because the UNIFI default switch have pure a TV port that only could use on 1 to 1 with the terminal, and will not work if putting a hub or switch there. WHich given my trouble on my WIFI signal due to equipemnt seat at the back bed room, can't covered all area

i'm thinking of not terminating my concealed lan cable at keystone, but leave a hole and terminate it as normal cable with RJ45, saves up the patching hassle, BTW im terminating it behind a TV cab so, didnt exposed to view...

not a problem if u use CAT6 cables... they got plastic core inside.

what is the spec of the pump (brand, hp?, Wattage?) & cost of the pump itself,
if u use it for upper story toilets, then ur water heater can be w/o pump, am i correct.

I am lousy at DIY. If I DIY, I might fall down and DIE 

Got it at HomeDec recently.
Intro by zheilwane to the distributor who had a booth there.
Alternatively can also get through zheilwane@builders hardware.

My  @#$%^&*()    contractor collect money then left 5% not done, he disappear,
So now, I have to finish to balance work myself lor....

A rotary drill I understand has stronger hammering action compared to impact drill.
Cost triple and suitable for punching a hole through the wall.

I understand weikee has a rotary drill. How often is the rotary hammer functioned used?? 

My contractor start work without down payment, he only request money after 5% done. Progress was good until recently, I can said 60% done so far, left only the tile work. He like disappear, din pick up my call but still will call me once a while told me that he will going to work. In fact never show up. How to deal with this kind of issue?

FYI, I have paid him up to 60% as well. I wanted to get new contractor because I wanted to move in before July. He still holding my key

Renovation Updates (rather warranty) :-

I missed the initial instalattion of my Solar water heater system.
To those who has been following my thread, you will know that the first time I actually saw mt Solar Water Heating unit on top of my roof was when I climbed up there during a complain. (taken a picture of the fully assembled unit)

Its here
I'was complaining that the water in the morning was luke warm only, not hot. 
They changed the water storage tank once already and it still did not solve the problem. 
This time they changed the whole thing Tank + Panel 
I has an opportunity to have a closer look at all the components 

Water Storage Tank


Water Storage Tank (Heating Element location and the pipes.)


Heating Element unit


Solar Panels


Instalattion work (Going up, Dismantle the current unit, lug down the tank, lug down the panel, bring up the new tank, bring up the new panel, install the new unit)
This 3 picture summarized it all - hard work under the hot sun liao 


Looking at them I also feel tired 

Much better doesn't sound convincing.
I'm thinking to install the same brand but now... Not convince liow.... 

Weikee ure using SolarPower too right ?How is it going so far?

Hope that there is an actual microsolar user in the forum to give an actual review. Most of us are limited by $$$$$$

almost 10K.. i like to do this.. but my husband said gonna hack wall for piping (our house is new) ..
he said wait till other renovation... haduyaii .. i said this gonna save montly bill.. still cannot win..

Phoenix69, may I know where did you buy these racks and the price? These are the durable type that can endure very heavy things on them, right?
Last time I saw one going for RM190 at a hardware shop. See if I can get cheaper cause planning to buy a few units.

On Nov 26 th 2012, I noticed that this Topic was missing from Lowyat.Net. 
I was worried that all the data will be lost forever. 
I asked for help from b00n and and after a few days it was finally reinstated today.
