P K Arun I was shopping for AC and computer components to build a custom PC for my home office yesterday.
I prefer online shopping to offline shopping for convenience and savings.
I can always find good discounts and offers in an online shop rather than offline shops.
These days, I learned one more lesson that I would like to share with you to save even more. I used to ignore this for a few years, but one day, I decided to change this after seeing my brother getting more savings than me.
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…
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.
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.
I went on some trips… Most are day trips or local trips organised by someone who knows the place.
This time, it’s a completely different experience.
All of us are pretty new to the places we visited. We took our own vehicle driven by my brother.
Yesterday I got an email from this customer:
Dear Mr. P K Arun,
I hope this message finds you well. My name is Tarak Banerjee, and I am a fresher Civil Engineer. Recently, I came across your incredibly detailed work on the Detailed House Construction Expenses with Product Price Details. I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for the effort you’ve put into tabulating every aspect of the expenses involved in constructing a G+3 building. Your meticulous attention to detail, right down to the smallest items, has been immensely helpful for someone like me who is new to the field of construction.
I am particularly impressed by how you have comprehensively listed hardware, electrical items, plumbing, painting, doors and windows, grills, toilets, kitchen and bedroom fittings, as well as all types of flooring and skirting in your Excel sheets, complete with quantities and rates. This document serves as a ready reference and real-world example for us in the construction industry.
Given your expertise in this area, I am keen to learn more from you. If possible, could you please share the structural and architectural drawings of the house you mentioned in your documentation? Studying these alongside your Excel data would greatly enhance my understanding and skills in this field.
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.
I recently came across one such video on my facebook account. I thought to share this video so you will be aware of such incidents.
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.
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. When we checked in the electrical pole, we noticed our neutral wire was cut.
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.
One of my friend’s houses is near our house.
I used to see this friend’s house from our house until now. Another construction work is going on between our buildings, so I cannot see their house these days.
After dinner, when I come from the first house to the second house through the back door, I notice one thing in my friend’s house on most days.
