(ii) Check hollowness in tiles or timber stripes, use the wooden end of the screw driver to knock on the floor. Good - if the sound is sharp "tick". Hollow if it sounds "tock"

(iii) Check the following:
        - Test all the switches
        - Test air-con
        - Test oven
        - Test electric stove
