P K Arun Tomorrow, my brother’s wife’s house has a Satyanarayana Swamy pooja in their home. As Per their initial plan, my brother and his wife are supposed to sit for the pooja.
Everything was ok until we asked our astrologer about the date.
Our Astrologer told us not to sit them for pooja on that day…
This Saturday, we changed our second building’s outdoor light automation from one tech to another.
The previous one was self-made, and it worked fine. In fact, it has many more features than the current setup, but it also comes with many requirements to work.
So we decided to give it a try on this brand new device to make it simpler to operate.
Initially, we followed the straightforward guide mentioned in the device; after using it for a few days, we noticed a lot of disadvantages in using it as is…
Do you want to know one of the easiest ways to lose a few days of hard work and lakhs of rupees during House Construction time? Then read on…
My parents and my wife went to our relative’s engagement on Friday. They went to Bus. On the way, my dad noticed one building’s ground floor RCC and the wall was bent.
He told RCC that it was almost touching the ground because it was that much bend…
I asked did you take a Photo?
He replied, “No, How can I take a Photo on a moving bus.”
I strongly believe that “everyone makes mistakes in their first house construction”.
I did it…
Many of my dad’s friends did the same in their new building.
There is another instance I noticed recently near my house. Right in front of my home office window, one building construction is happening…
I didn’t understand who the owner of that building was for a few days.
Now that the building’s ground floor moulding is over, I see one guy coming daily for RCC curing.
RCC curing is the only curing that is easy to do in-house construction. I guess that’s why the owner is coming for curing nowadays 😄
Anyway…
Yesterday, my dad and my daughter went to his friend’s house, which is the backside of our house.
It is a casual visit. My dad often visits them to spend their free time.
During their visit, Dad’s friend tried calling the water tanker guy from their phone. That time, my dad enquired why the water tanker…
When we were staying at the rental property, one incident happened. I explain that real incident so you can understand one useful benefit of having a Busbar in the meter box.
I have my own online business. I was not going anywhere for job. I was just working from my home with my PC and internet connection.
Everything went smoothly until one day, my computer UPS started beeping.
Got the below question from one of our All-Access Pass Customer:
Hi Arun,
First of all thank you very much for sharing your experience and lessons learned in house construction. I am benefiting a lot after going through your articles.
I am planning to construct a house in Kochi, Kerala. Two floor house for own use. I have a couple of questions about the electrical system.
1. Is Busbar required for home use?
I think you used it because you have different houses for rental. Am I correct ?
2. You have used two electricity meters. May I know why? (Outdoor meter and 3 phase meter)
Regards,
Kishore

In this article, I will share all the charges you will pay to install AC and a few things you should be aware of…
In most cases, AC installation is not Free. It’s a chargeable service.
Below are the details of all the costs I paid during my AC installation.
2 days back, I got a price drop alert on an Amazon product in my email.
This is the product I thought of buying after when I started using AC in my home office room. I immediately noticed one mistake I made in my room.
This is not just me who usually does…
This is a common mistake made by almost all users in their homes if they use AC.
When we were building our first house, we were complete newbies…
We didn’t have many ideas about contractors, labourers, etc.; we simply went with the construction flow.
Luckily, one of our dad’s friends helped in most aspects of our construction.
Everything went well in most cases, apart from the Electrical contractor. We had a lot of issues and verbal fights with the electrical contractor for various reasons.
