Worst Fan Company

August 26, 2024May 28, 2024 by P K Arun

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.

My Friends Dad Daily Task

August 26, 2024May 28, 2024 by P K Arun

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.

A Screws thing you need to aware of

Yesterday, one of our tenants had his fan stop working. My brother, my dad and I went to check there.

When my brother removed the switch plate, he shared “why they used this type of screw “.

Outdoor Lights Automation Doesn’t Cost Much

August 26, 2024May 23, 2024 by P K Arun

When it comes to doing any kind of automation in the home, you might think it’s a costly thing and need separate service providers to do that.

On one level, that’s true.

If you are going to use sensors and want to automate inside the house, then you need a different team, and it costs more to implement.

I Tried China Made IoT Switch for Outdoor Light Automation

August 26, 2024May 22, 2024 by P K Arun

While I started implementing the automation switch to my parking light, one device I tried was – the Sonoff switch.

It requires the internet to work. That’s not an issue in my house, as I properly planned everything and can get a Wi-Fi signal anywhere I want in my building.

It was working fine.

My Story Behind Outdoor Light Automation

August 26, 2024May 21, 2024 by P K Arun

I realised this problem after having our own house. Until we had our own house, we used to stay in the rental property and never have to worry about outdoor lights.

In most cases, the owner takes care of that. In some cases, no one ON the outdoor lights.

Life goes without worrying about homeowners’ problems 🙂

Then we had our first house; that time, our house was on the first floor. Every day we need to turn on/off the parking lights.

A Foot Care Tip for all house construction users

Today, around 4PM, I casually spoke with the opposite house aunty. The topic is diabetes…

While speaking, they shared one incident that I want to share here.

She is explaining how one of our neighbour’s aunty who had diabetes got hurt during their house construction and how long it took to cure the infection, & how it happened.

Guidance on BDA Site (reader question)

Today, I’m answering a question from a blog reader.

I kept postponing answering his emails for quite a few days because of the complexity of the email and asking too many questions in one email.

It is really difficult to answer such questions. For now, I will try my best to answer this reader’s questions:

Housewarming Function on Rainy Days

August 26, 2024May 15, 2024 by P K Arun

A housewarming function happened on this Akshaya Tritiya day, Fri, 10 May 2024, near my home.

But not many people came for the function.

It could be for two reasons:

They planned to do simple.
Rainy season

Both are valid reasons only.
