What is worse when you're living in Selangor than the water supply? The water is so murky, mosquitoes would have second thoughts trying to lay their eggs in the water.
For my hubby, the pain is whenever he is due with our laundry. He had one time did the laundry three times before getting the load clean. That's how bad it was!!
We decided to install a filtering system for the washing machine; something simple that it won't require us to bypass the main water pipe and that we could dismantle easily if we were to leave the place. It's a rented property, at the end of the day, anyhow.
Went to the hardware store last Saturday, and obtained the filtering device. The shopowner was great enough to even teach me how to do it, and supplied me with everything I need to get the job done. I bought a filtering device, a 6-inch long PVC pipe, a tube of PVC glue and a handful of PVC pieces - from elbows to connectors.
Well, I tried to install the filtering system last weekend, but it didn't turn out well. I had a number of joints leaking out water; bursting more like it. I ran out of the PVC white tape and the glue wasn't exactly the best thing to hold the pipes together (which I thought was a good idea, at first)
It was raining heavily earlier today, and I decided to work from home. I managed to sneak out to the hardware store and obtained more PVC pieces, a couple of tubes of PVC glue and the PVC white tape.
A few tweaks and fixes, and viola!!

Yes, I have a toolbox. Hey, I am still a man, okay!? Growl!
I did some DIYs before and I love it.
Oh god, I wish it will come a day when I will be free to build my own canopy on my own yard!!! I am such a straight-man wannabe! Hahaha.
