Bathroom Accessories

I'm rather glad I had gotten Grohe and Hansgrohe accessories for the bathrooms. Today, I had the plumber help install another bathrobe hook in the common bathroom.


The chrome finish is brilliant and looks good, so far. The other non-brand stainless racks that I bought locally quickly had stains on them and need a good scrub every other day ...

I am also glad I had decided to buy this back in Oct-14.

Grohe 40 663 8-in basket - US$41.8


Grohe 40 664 12-in basket - US$47.3


Hansgrohe 41506000 Puravida Bath Towel Holder, 30-Inch, which is the same series as our Puravida basin faucet. - US$89.95


Hansgrohe 40516000 S and E Accessories Towel Bar, 24-Inch - US$52.38

Taking it apart

The car video camera's battery finally gave up ... so the time couldn't be stored in the settings. The time would drift as each day passed and become more inaccurate. After reading on a car forum, I realised that the internal battery could be replaced but it need soldering ... Ok, I can do that. I'm quite good with soldering during my uni days.

So I went to Sim Lim Square to buy the battery for about $10 and a connector cable.

Time for the works ...




That was the easy part. Next the soldering. The battery was soldered to a circuit board and I had to use a solder to take it out. It went quite well.

The de-soldered circuit board.


Soldered back the new battery. When testing it, there was no response so I wasn't sure if the polarity was correct and I did had to switch the connection. Still it told a while to charge for the camera to give a response.


There were a few other hiccups, when drilling a hole through the camera casing for the battery cable to pass through, I drill too fast and it broke the circuit board cables! Luckily, I was able to solder them back but it's a close call ...

The finished product. If the battery died, I can now change the battery from outside, no more taking it apart :)
