Hello everyone,
It's very annoying if mice often come to the house and eat some of the food in the house. Now, the main problem in my house is rats every night. Looks like mice like my house, is it because there is a lot of food in the house?

I am very diligent in cleaning my house, even doing a good deep cleaning every week without ever skipping. I like to clean the area of ​​my house, because living clean will avoid many pathogens, viruses and bacteria. So it is actually very difficult for mice to enter the house. Besides, I always close the holes in every corner of my house.

But it turns out that mice have many ways to sneak into the house, they can enter from the roof of my house that has not been asbestos at all. In fact, the roof of the house and the floor were very high, so it was impossible for them to enter from above. But then I found out that there was a cable they could climb up and down from the roof.

As a result, currently my refrigerator has a problem, it didn't turn on for 1 day. I checked that it wasn't the refrigerator that was damaged, but it turned out that the electric cable that connected to the refrigerator's electrical socket was damaged because it had been bitten by a mouse. I almost suffered a huge loss thinking my refrigerator was broken and had a big problem because it wasn't working properly.

Finally, because calling an electrician at night was not possible, I made my own electric socket using a few tools and materials at hand. Luckily we have pre-assembled power cords and sockets, so they can be used for a while until the time of home renovation.

I am quite proficient in electrical knowledge, because my father is a reliable electrician. I was taught some hacks for making socket extenders when I was 17 years old. My father always said that we should be independent, and should know this basic electrical technique ourselves. For example, if I have a problem, I can solve it myself without asking other people for help. Even though I'm only a girl, I also have to be prepared to be a fighter myself.

Besides, my husband is very unreliable when it comes to electricity. He's totally blind to it, even when I tried to plug the socket cable, the one there was burned because it was wrongly installed and my fan almost caught fire.

Installing a cable extension socket is very easy if we know the elements, to make an extension socket to the refrigerator cable, I only need 50 cm of cable and 2 sockets and one plug. The method is so easy, you just have to skin the cable just enough to be connected to the socket bolt, don't forget to lock it tightly and close it again with the existing bolt. Next, installing the plug is the same as attaching the cable to the socket.

I can't explain to you how to install a cable extension socket, but I think all the photos I took can explain a little detail that you can learn. Or you can just search the internet for various information on how to install an extension socket.

Besides, if you want to make life easier, take it to an expert, I'm just desperate to have to plug in the socket for my fridge tonight. If it's not installed, then all my groceries will rot, I just bought fish and meat, I'm afraid it will rot and have to throw away the groceries which are now very expensive.

So I think, it seems very appropriate to join the My DIY Project for the ASEAN HIVE Challenge in the midst of my misfortune because of rats, hopefully the bad luck turns into happiness and luck. Ahahaha. #ASEANHIVEChallenge #MyDIYProject #diy


See you the next time hive friends!

Good job, you should also be very careful with this job

Thankyou so much :)
Thanks for stopping by :)

I have faced this problem so many times before in Cambodia. Even with a clean house we have to always have a rat traps set to prevent numbers from growing. Mice and rats are very much like people, each having a unique personality. The most recent three rats I trapped and relocated were obsessed with chewing wires, as well as eating bar soap and going into the toilet too. Our house had plenty of brown rice, peanuts, and fruit to eat, but no, they wanted to eat rubber wires instead 🤦‍♂️.

Very cool your Dad is an electrician, valuable knowledge to have for everyday life. If your husband almost catches the house on fire again, maybe you can build him an electric chair 🤣.

I thought that rats eating electric wires were very hard to find, but it turns out that in all parts of the world, rats have very strange habits😂

My father is very skilled in the field of electricity, he hoped that I would work in the same field but fate said otherwise😂

Finally I can only fix the power socket only. At least I cover my husband's weakness😂

kereeen, salut sih kak bisa benerin kelistrikan sendiri :)

That is a skill that not everyone can do, so I think you are a great and brave person.

Thank you so much. I think everyone should have basic knowledge of electricity like this. To make life easier :)
