Molding Tips During the Rainy Season

July 10, 2023 by P K Arun

A few days back, near our one construction house did their RCC molding. It was rainy time…

Sometimes you may also want to do your RCC molding during rainy times.

If that is the case, then what I recommend is…

Know when it usually rains.

Usually, rain comes during a specific time of the day in every area. It could be early morning or afternoon or in the evening.

Here in bangalore I always notice rain usually comes after 1PM onwards.

If that’s the case, then you can ask your building contractor to arrange a molding gang to set up their equipment on the previous day itself.

I started sharing my internet connection…

We have rental units in both buildings. Each building contains 8+8 spacious 1 Bhk units.

All our tenants are college students.

While building both houses, I properly planned and did networking for both buildings.

While doing this, I didn’t plan on offering internet to all the tenants in our building.

But still, I did the network setup. Because in future we cannot do so.

Don’t Choose this type of Water Level Controller

Yesterday I was checking product sales reports on Amazon.in website.

While checking, I noticed someone bought Robsync Unisync Tank Smart Device Fully Automatic Water Tank Level Controller (Wifi/Mobile App Based Automatic Water Tank Level Controllable from anywhere, anytime) Wired.

Which I never promoted anywhere.

Things you should keep in mind for CCTV setup

If you plan to use CCTV in your house now or later, here is something you should keep in mind.

To enjoy CCTV benefits to their fullest extent, you must plan and adopt a few tech stuff. They are…

1) Have a wired network connection to CCTV DVR

2) Don’t use a Wireless network unless you don’t have wired network options

3) If you need to watch LIVE CCTV visuals from different locations, then you need to have internet connections at home as well as user who need to see visuals

Regarding our Smart Home Attempt

July 1, 2023 by P K Arun

During our first house construction time, I wasn’t aware of the smart home and IOT concept yet.

But one thing I’m sure of is… having a proper network should be set up for our entire house.

So with my networking knowledge, I implemented the networking concept for the full building.

Due to good broadband speed… I learned the smart home concept online and implemented some automation in our first house.

RMC vs Site Mixing Concrete – Why we went with Site Mixing?

June 28, 2023June 28, 2023 by P K Arun

A few days back, one of our customers asked about RMC (Ready Mix Concrete) vs. Manual/Site mix concrete for RCC molding.

He asked for my input or what we opted for in our building. I quickly replied to his email about what we opted for and why. I thought many of you might have same questions in your head.

And today I’m in the mood to talk about this topic.

Few things to keep in mind during molding time

June 27, 2023 by P K Arun

Here are a few things you must be aware of on molding day.

1) It will be a busy day. You need to manage and arrange a lot of things during molding day

2) The more family members were available that day, more helpful

3) You must arrange food for all the laborers on the molding day. Some owners order outside, some arrange themself, and few give money.

Our Ground Floor RCC Slab Could Have Collapsed

June 26, 2023 by P K Arun

The day before yesterday, while I was reading a book on my Kindle at 1 Am, suddenly, one picture came to my mind.

Our ground floor RCC slab/mold could have collapsed during molding day due to a centering/shuttering mistake.

As soon I remembered this incident, that time I learned how I could not have shared this story yet? So here I’m sharing that real incident.

Electrical contractor work is still pending even after receiving 5 months of Electricity Bill

June 24, 2023 by P K Arun

Today at 9:30Am, Me, My dad and my bro all sitting in the hall and talking about some random stuff.

Suddenly some scooty horn came. My dad informed me to check who…

Without checking, I informed some of our tenant’s friends and continued our chat.

Our electrical contractor slowly came and stood in front of the door.

I suddenly called him to come inside and arranged a chair to sit on.

I ask asked our contractor, what’s the update Auncle?

While removing centering plates, don’t forget to do this

June 22, 2023 by P K Arun

Once, our laborers struggled too much to remove the molding chape/centering mat from the RCC.

Almost two people were trying to remove the chape from the RCC.

Their work was not all progressing.
