Today I thought of answering the one our customer question in this email.
Below is the exact email he sent on 4/2/2023.
I’m sorry for answering this question so late…
P K Arun
Beware plumbing line inside the house
My dad called me on the phone in a low tone, saying, “Arun, some major issue happened. Come Urgently to the second floor….”
Before this call…
Our carpenter came to install Soap Trays on the Toilet. My dad went with our carpenter.
I and my MOM were talking outside our first floor by sitting on a chair… As it’s not a major task, I didn’t go with my dad.
Electrical contractor forgot the payment we made
When our electrical contractor work was almost complete, our contractor asked me – “Sir, Payment.”
Ok… After checking with my system, I told them ₹5,000 is what we have to pay.
Our contractor – no, I think it should be around ₹10,000.
Hmm… again, some conflict.
I checked again roughly, and it showed the same ₹5,000.
Bigger Main Gate = Bigger Problems Later
Me and my younger brother going on a bike to get a rental agreement for our rental property. He was driving… and I was sitting in the back seat.
I saw the new construction building installed a Main Gate.
I wouldn’t have sent this email if it was a normal gate.
The gate height and width is like – 8 Feet. If you saw any film actor’s privacy gate, it looks similar but contains some design.
New Building Buying Cement in Autos
Near our house, two new construction work is going on. I can clearly see those constructions from my building.
In that, one building owner is an EXPERIENCED house constructor. The reason is the new building he is constructing is his 3rd House.
He is not a professional builder.
He is just like us. All those buildings are owned by his family itself. In that one building, they recently sold for around 1.75cr. So they used that fund, bought a new site, and doing a new construction near our house.
When MS fabricators come, don’t forget to do this
When you start your MS fabrication work on your building, do all kinds of small tasks you may need.
Example: Valve operating handle, which you need for your sump to ON/OFF the valve.
They usually do this type of small task when they are doing bulk work without any additional price. But if you went fabricator shop separately to get that valve operating handle, they will charge separately.
MS Fabrication material gauge checking tip
Hope everyone is done celebrating New Year.
I’m not much into celebrating special days, but this year was different. I celebrated my daughter’s FIRST year birthday. So I took a break for quite a few days. The good thing is, I don’t need to ask any Boss to take Leave as mine is Internet-based work.
What you Train them is what they do
I didn’t get a better title idea than the above title, so I’m going with it.
Anyway, my point is. I already shared such an incident recently. Again I had another such incident keep happening—here is the story about it.
We had one house construction labor from our building contractor. We prefer him for any kind of cleaning job. He does the cleaning job Perfectly, so we tell our contractor to send him only.
Gaya ₹40,000 for a ₹100 problem ?♂️
A few days back, I shared a pressure issue on 3rd floor problem. I thought that complaint got solved to some extent.
Nope… I was wrong.
When I met my 3rd-floor tenant Zyan, he complained about the same issue: “bro, sometimes water almost stops coming into the toilet, and I never faced such an issue with kitchen taps.”
After I heard that complaint again, I called our plumber to check the issue. He said he would come within 2 days.
How I handled contractor asking more price
It’s 1st Dec 2022. I informed our plumbing contractor to come early… Look like he took my words too seriously and came around 9 am itself instead of his normal time like – 11:30 Am, which is usually after dropping his daughter at her school.
Me and my dad still yet to have breakfast.
