yanking down the kitchen ...

We yanked down the kitchen and got ourselves RM680 in the process .... great deal right???
oopss ... it should read kitchen cabinet

New skill(s) acquired :
(1) un-drilling screws with the power driller .... hand must be firm. drill to screw head must be accurate else the screw worn out and difficult to remove.

(2) yanking down the kitchen ... must be in correct order using correct tools & correct level of energy.

(3) sawing with electrical power saw ... must use correct blade saw. must be stable and accurate. must wear google. must be able to withstand wood dust and loud noise. (must close mouth and cannot talk while sawing =p LOL ... especially for ppl who talk non-stop )

(4) waste disposal management ... segregate the disposable items especially recycle-able ones and 'can-earn-money-ones'. Reuse what can be reuse. Loading and unloading of disposable items into car to waste-disposal-area. Capacity management - estimate the number of trips needed to dispose the items. Effective arrangement to minimize the no. of trips.

(5) the art of giving ... ended up giving all the items to the 'helpful uncle' who collects items at the waste disposal area.

(6) creative re-use of resources ... found a water sprinkler for our garden, now has a beautiful glass pot for plant (from the mineral water glass container - modified) ... and many more ( too long to list everything here)

(7) Cleaning management ... most appropriate cleaning methods ... such as brooms for floors and vacuum for hard to reach area. Water & washing powder for stains on floor.


Sifu : Master Dear.

Report card :
(1) Gets cranky when tired. Disobey order when asked to go rest.
(2) Talk alot when working on projects.
(3) Lan Fan G - go to sleep before finish job and wake up after only after others complete the job.
(4) Never listen to instructions ... pandai pandai buat sendiri ... never follow safety precautions.
(5) Usage of eletrical power drill and saw weak.
(6) People carry a few pieces of wood, you carry one each round... have to go many rounds ... not efficient enough =p LOL

Overall : consider pass lah =D

haha...easy

the quoted price for provision of labour to dismantle the kitchen cabinets and clearing the debris is RM680.
So when we choose to do-it-ourselves. We've got RM680.

reason being : a penny saved is a penny earned =)
it's just how we decide look at it =) like whether the glass is half full or half empty =)
