went extra mile in securing materials at a best price

The guy who contacted me a few days ago on the phone who is going to start his house construction soon is smart.

Why?

He does many extra things that most homeowners don’t get such an idea for the first time.

He has done a lot of groundwork on securing important house construction items at a much cheaper price. 

When he called me, he discussed how to find such suppliers, what their minimum order requirement is, and the price he will get, etc. on the short call.

One of the Home Owner Problem and the Solution I Discovered

Staying in rental property is one type of problem…

Having our own house and managing it properly is another type of problem…

This is what I noticed after we entered our first house.

Out of all the homeowner’s problems, one problem that fell under my responsibility was operating the sump valve weekly.

The float valve is a perfect solution to automate… In our case, our tap is located a little deep inside the sump.

So, if we install the standard float valve to automate my sump valve, the float valve won’t allow us to fill our sump fully…

I Miss This Thing for My Daughter

Yesterday, while I was going from my Home office (second building) to our first building on the back side door, I noticed something behind our house.

That is, neighbour kids were playing on a cloth swing in front of their house on the first floor…

All those kids were laughing too loud, and it got my attention.

Suddenly, I thought I needed to do the same in our house so our kids could play.

Implemented Sump Valve on Off Solution

Yesterday was Saturday, so my brother was staying at our house. So, I planned to implement my Sump automation to stop water automatically once the sump is full.

This is the same as what float valves do, but no height limit exists.

That means… no matter where your Tap located inside the sump, it can perform On/Off of tap based on the water level you set.

The same concept has been implemented in my first building but not in the second building… now recently our water man leaving too much water so we need to On and Off tap many times a week.
