My Friend Dont Park His Car

We reached around 2 am Bangalore from the Rameshwarm trip. That time, we took our friend’s vehicle, and he also came with us. He knows how to drive his car. He is not an expert, but he drives his car. But the funny thing is my friend doesn’t park his SUV inside his house parking space. 🙂 He needs an expert driver to park… He took a test with my brother before he gave us his car for our trip....

How Not to Waste ₹3000 on Toilet Doors

When I went on the Rameshwarm trip, I noticed a similar issue, which I shared in my Toilet Door Privacy Issue guide (6.1). In that guide, I only shared content without any video footage. Because I didn’t have any… Although we temporarily fixed our toilet door when the door was having an issue at that time, I didn’t take any video footage. I had no idea I would create house construction-related guides like this at that time....

My Rameswaram Trip Experience

Last week I went on a Rameshwarm trip. Few back I’m back to my home. After taking enough breaks, I’m writing this email. This trip is a pretty new experience for me.

How Material Suppliers Cheat

When you are doing your house construction lot of contractors, labours do lot of things if you are not aware of the possible scam that can happen with you.

Dont Buy Wooden Doors Without Knowing This

When ordering main doors, everyone just thinks about the wood they use in the door and the design of the door. This is how first-time users always think… Nothing wrong with that. But I have something to share if you are a beginner in construction. Because, in most cases, you won’t be aware of what I will share. This is one of the important points I recommend every user keep in mind while buying readymade wooden doors, ordering custom-made wooden doors in shops, or giving wood to your carpenter to make your door....

When 400 Volts Comes This Happens

At around 5:30 PM, a few tenants started complaining their charges burnt out when they put for charging. When my dad checked in the meter box, he noticed 400 to 500 volts coming. We immediately switched off the Main incoming power supply to prevent further damage. Within a few minutes of testing, my DAD informed me it was a Neautral Fault issue. So I called our electrician to come immediately at night time....

Worst Fan Company

After fixing one of the tenant’s fan issues recently, I decided to share the incident below. At the end of our house construction, we went to buy a ceiling fan for our rental property. We shop for all our construction-related products in the hardware shop we went to. Me and my dad simply asked the shop owner which brand fan we would buy like… He suggested some well-known brands, and I checked online to see that the product got a 40K+ rating on Flipkart, so I ordered around 26 fans of that brand....
