Today, I got up at 5:30 Am, which rarely happens. I read one chapter on a copywriting book and turned on my desktop to start my regular online work. As it’s an early morning without any disturbance, I decided to create a few simple image ads to start advertising my Building Contractor Guide. I took one important tip and created a Facebook image ad. It’s a very valuable tip, but in that guide, I explained that concept in only a few lines....
The last rice bag also getting over… We needed to order a few rice bags. Because the older the rice, the better it is. We usually buy a few rations from a nearby provision store rest of them my brother order online. Every time I order a rice bag, I always pay first so when he delivers to our house, I don’t need to go to pay him. I used to follow this method many times…...
Before bringing JCB to do any work, I have a small tip to share. Inform the JCB operator to follow only your instructions and not all the visitors. The reason? In some cases, if you bring a JCB to do your task, neighbours sometimes ask you or a JCB guy to do the cleaning work here and there. You cannot say No in front of them. You cannot say Yes also…...
Today, RCC molding work is scheduled in a nearby construction building. The owner properly arranged all the molding required materials a few days back. That’s a good practice. But… He made a mistake. That mistake cost him ₹2K to 3K. What was that mistake? The owner assumed where materials needed to be, and he dumped msand and jelly in the previous spot where he used to keep them. It was the same spot where the previous few molding items were kept....
When your engineer gives your building plan, they give it on paper containing dimensions, which usually cannot be felt in most cases. If you want to experience room dimensions live practically, what I recommend is… Ask labourers to build one course of masonry (one bricklayer) according to the engineer’s plan during construction time. Now, go and walk and feel physically to experience the room’s size live. If you find something you need to change, make changes and experience first....
One thing that I like apart from my online business is collecting rent. Although it comes with its own risk. But if you ask me, the reward always overtakes the risk in the rental business. Every month, by the 10th, all rent is automatically deposited in my bank account without fail. People who fail to send rent are charged extra for late payment. So again, there will be a reward for that....
Today, outside my home office window, I noticed that a construction building made two mistakes related to the meterbox. So I opened my Electrical Work Guide to check if I mentioned that point or not… When I searched, I noticed one point had already been added, but no images had been added, and another point had not been added. Now that also mentioned. I went back to my second building, took a photo of the mistake they made, and added it to the document in the 5....
In one of our rental units, 500 rs of electricity bill came this month. But the thing is, no one has stayed in the building for the past 20 days… Moreover, even if they stay, their electricity bill usually comes to 0 rs because the Karnataka government offers some free units. The student got suspicious, and we got to know something was wrong. When the student/tenant was informed regarding the electricity bill issue, we checked to see if the meter reader had taken the wrong reading....
Yesterday, while going through my email inbox, I came across an email with the subject line “Pain”. I remembered one incident in our first building when I saw the word pain. It happened when all the construction work was over, and we shifted from a rental property to a brand-new house. Usually, once the housewarming function is over, it’s recommended that someone stay in the brand-new house. That’s a kind of tradition we follow....
Today, my brother and I were going on my bike to bring estamp paper to make a rental agreement for our tenants. While going, I took the internal route so I could see new construction works. In my area, lots of construction work is going on… so anywhere I look, there is always some construction activity. Buildings are built and are sold like fast-moving food in a hotel. Anyway, while going, I saw a new house with plinth beam work going on....
