A few days back I went to our village house. I haven’t shared that house story yet. Maybe this story could help someone who has an old house and wants to do Renovation work. When my dad was about to retire, he decided to go and settle in his hometown. He got an old house after a property partition happened between both brothers. The house he got is a pretty old house....

Right from my home office room window, I can see one new building construction work is going… I may get a few ideas I could share here while watching the construction spot. The owner is an experienced guy. As far as I know, this is the 3rd or 4th house construction he is doing. Today, I got one idea when I saw their labourers taking a submersible pump from the sump....

This morning, I noticed something that was going unnoticed for quite a few days… I’m bathing mostly in cold water instead of hot solar water. In our first building, we have solar hot water available. But we are not using it when it’s doing its job at its peak time. That is during summertime. If we turn on the hot water tap, the hot water is always ready. But we all prefer to keep our bodies cool as much as possible during summer, so we use cold water for showers....

A few days back, I joined Ramaiah Memorial Hospital (MS Ramaiah Hospital) for Kidney stone treatment. There they have two buildings. One is an old building, and another is a new building. In both buildings, the same doctors treat, but the charges and facilities differ. In the old building, they charge less for treatment, and in the new building, they charge almost/more than double for the same treatment. We have decided to join the new building....

Now I’m back to Bangalore. While I was in my village, I noticed in my friend’s house they are using Flat Rod for handrails. I feel Flat rods are not good in terms of grip or holding experience…. I believe round rods feel much better when held than flat rods. When I went to Mysore, I noticed similar flat rods used in handrails in one construction building. After seeing the same thing at my friend’s house, I shared this small tip....

Today, while I was going to our agricultural plot, I had to pass through my friend’s house. Which is still in the construction phase. When I saw the house, I immediately liked one thing. That is, the house’s front-side tiles work. I only saw those tiles till I passed their house. It was that good-looking tiles. They used 4*2 front elevation double-glazed tiles. This is what I recommend you to use in your building....

Bangalore users already started facing water issues. If you watch the news, you may probably be aware of the issues currently going on in Banglore. I don’t watch any news. Still, some serious news comes to me. Anytime summer comes, water scarcity rises, and water tankers’ golden period starts. Some tankers make good money. This is a golden period for them… Here in Mysore, I still see some house sump water overflowing in the road even though they have metered connections....

Today, I wanted to share an email about the sump motor. In Mysore, I noticed most houses use a normal 1 HP Water Pump. The motor they keep outside the sump openly to pump water to the overhead tank. There is nothing wrong with using Open type pumps. We even have a open type pump in our native house. Where we use just a few times per year. Anytime we switch on the motor, we don’t hear anything because of motor sound....

Once the discussion with the building contractor is over and both are ready to sign the agreement, you might look for a house construction agreement format in Kannada. If that is the case, then you are in the right place. I will share the house construction agreement we signed with my building labour contractor. You can see my agreement for reference purposes. This agreement is for users looking to build their house using a labour contract....

Yesterday, we went to Shuka Vana, Mysore. A place where many parrot varieties can be found in a single place. It has a Guinness World record for the most bird species in an aviary (a large enclosure for confining birds). I was surprised to see so many types of parrots there. Some types of parrots are so big that I have never seen such big and colourful parrots live. The environment was very cool, and I enjoyed it a lot....
