Outdoor Lights Automation Coming Soon

by

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…

First Time House Construction Users Make Mistakes

by

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…

Customer questions about the electrical system

by

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

Electrical contractors and AC — don’t rely on them

by

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.
