Day 23 of 30-Day Challenge of Tracking Every Dollar & Cent:

Breakfast – RM9.10
Soft Drinks – RM15.00
Lunch – RM5.60
Tea Break – RM5
Plastic Bags – RM5.30
Kitchen Faucet and Pipe – RM70 (for the house in Ipoh)
Dinner – RM10.10
Total Spent: RM120.10

Hubby and I spent the whole day cleaning the house in Ipoh. Luckily hubby took a day off, otherwise, it’s impossible to chop down a tree on the roof.

Ya, a 8-foot tree on the roof! Unbelievable, its root and stem had grown into a pipe leading to the underground! As a result, the rain water was not able to flow into the pipe and thus causing the roof area where the water tank was located flooded.

If we hadn’t taken any action, oh my, the water in the clogged area would have overflowed one day and our master bedroom would have been flooded as well. Thank God.

Million thanks to hubby’s friend whom hubby bumped into while he was out buying lunch. He came voluntarily to help hubby saw and chop down the deep-rooted tree. It took them more than three hours up there.

Also million thanks to my brother-in-law who came to change a kitchen faucet for us. He then cut off the pipe leading to the underground to see where the tree stem was heading. As it was impossible to pull out the deep-rooted stem from the old pipe, my brother-in-law had to install another pipe to let out the water on the roof top.

If we had asked a plumber to do it from chopping down the tree to cutting off the pipe to installing the new pipe, it would have cost us more than RM250. Phew, we only paid RM12 for the new plastic pipe!

However, the money saved has to go into repairing the leaking toilets. Urgh, 2 toilets are leaking! Hopefully the leaking pipes can be fixed by this Sunday so that the tenants can do the dusting, cleaning and washing.

Yes, the tenants do the home cleaning for the super dirty and messy vacant house in Ipoh in exchange for free rental for the first month!
