P K Arun After taking the permanent connection a meter reader came to our new building to take readings.
I was there right next to him.
While he was taking the meter readings, he had to open the meter box and noticed our setup of the meter box.
He said, “Sir, nicely and properly done meter box setup.”
Me “Ya… my dad is an electrical engineer itself”, so it’s his plan.
Yesterday I was not feeling well, so I went to the clinic with my brother.
This is a small clinic but a very popular one. Within one day, regular diseases will get cured (personal experience).
To this day, this doctor charging only ₹50 has his consulting fee… and that too in Bangalore city.
The only problem is the waiting time. Minimum 1 hr we need to wait.
When you are ready to apply for a temporary connection, your electrical contractor usually asks how many kilowatts you need, or sometimes they even suggest recommended kilowatt that is required for you.
Whatever the case, my suggestion is never to apply below 2 KW.
The reason is…
This happened to us in our second building.
We informed our electrical contractor that we need a temporary connection as we will start the construction work.
Our contractor told let’s wait some more days.
He told us like that to save money for us… because the earthwork takes time, so let’s manage like that as he informed.
He also told me he would manage if anyone from the BESCOM department came.
A brick unloader vehicle came backside our house.
It’s a bigger vehicle.
While returning, the vehicle damaged another house drainage stone.
Immediately house owner’s wife and neighbour’s ladies gang came and did a spot inspection ?
The construction house owner’s son and vehicle driver were both where staying there.
The owner’s wife called the owner’s son and told him in a good way about the damage.
A few days back, I got a call from a CEO of a mobile app company.
Let’s call her “Dee.”
Arun… I’m Dee. Remember me?
Ya… tell Dee.
One important thing I recommend you to keep in mind is that until plastering work is over you don’t need more money.
The real picture starts during the finishing time of your building.
If in case you thought…
We still have plenty of money left and start spending on expensive things. Then you may end up with a problem during finishing time.
One of our tenant’s DP switches was not working, so we asked him to bring a new switch to replace it.
He went to store and bought it immediately.
I asked him how much it cost. He replied ₹185.
Within 3 days, we also bought the same switch for ₹123—no bargain… nothing.
We bought only 6 switches, so definitely, it’s not bulk order pricing.
Then why the price is so big difference?
Want the best deals on the product you purchase for house construction-related stuff? Then shopping for products near your building shops is the right way for the most part.
Apart from cement bags, I recommend everyone to shop from the nearest shops to purchase house construction-related items.
It helps in a lot of ways.
Our painting labours painting our wall in the new building.
We alerted all our tenants to keep their belongings things to keep inside.
Everyone did so.
But we underestimated where and all paint can fall.
When the work was going on…
I got a WhatsApp message from one girl saying:
