glassy vs non glassy for walldrop

When it’s time to choose wardrobe laminate design, our supplier bought a big laminate design book to choose from. At first, we chose a Glassy finish design. Before finalizing, I always ask the supplier’s opinion once… Supplier told, sir… Glassy is usually a little over for wardrobe. I personally don’t recommend a glassy finish like he informed me. Moreover, he also told one more thing. That is, both glassy and non-glassy laminate sheets cost the same....

A Shady Laptop Battery Seller

The day before yesterday, my brother and I ordered a laptop battery for his laptop. We ordered from a nearby local shop as no proper battery was available on the Amazon site. Most don’t keep stock of the exact laptop battery model, so we need to book to get a product by paying in advance. We booked by paying a full advance of ₹3,000, and the battery was delivered the next day....

Ugly electrical boxes in the beam/wall

A few days back, all our family members attended our relatives weddings. In one marriage, we had to stay in the rooms available in the function building. It’s quite a good and a new marriage hall, to say. We got 3 room keys for our family. In one room, I noticed something that happened in our first building. That is, some unskilled electrician did the electrical work on that building, which affected the finishing look of the room....

A 'wired' network issue…

From last month onwards, we had a strange network problem in our building (both). Because of this problem, most of our tenants and we could not connect to our WiFi router. Anytime we connect, it keeps on disconnecting. We never had an issue with a wired connection. This only happens on our sub-router, which we placed in our tenant’s house (in Access Point mode). In the main router, we never had any such issue....

1 more floor on 20 year old building, is it ok?

Yesterday, I got the following question from one of my customers: Hi Arun, my house is a 20 year old constructed property. It’s a 2bhk independent house with 1200 sq. ft in ground floor. Do you think it wise to construct the 1st floor and terrace with a pent house now and give the ground floor for rent? I am going through all your materials and it’s really helpful. Regards, Dileep...

Dont Make Labourers Work Like This

Right, in front of my home office window, one construction work is going on… Today, they are doing pillar concrete work. It looks like the owner or contractor asked labourers to do overnight work to finish all the concrete work on the pillars. The problem is, at 7.50PM, they are still doing concrete work. Now, a power failure has also happened here in my place. So they don’t have any alternative light arrangement or power to use a concrete vibrator to properly set concrete inside the pillar box....

Rent Not Getting Paid for 6 Months+

Today my mom brother came to our house. While discussing, I generally speak about business stuff more… While speaking with them, I asked how their rental property was doing. They shared that our saree weaving business is down, so our tenants staying at our rental property are not paying rent. Most of their tenants are labourers of saree weaving, and when saree is not in demand, owners also stop power looms....

How to Plan During Rainy Days

Today it’s raining here… If you are constructing your house during rain, it causes a lot of disturbance, especially during plastering time. I remembered one of my personal incidents during rain. Due to limited knowledge, we did not plan properly during the construction of our first building. We were simply going with the standard construction flow. During the rainy season, our first building outside plastering came. We didn’t bother much…...

Pujari knows the importance of LAN setup

Yesterday, we went to a few temples far from my home. When I was praying… the pujari in the temple was speaking on the phone loudly. The conservation caught my attention when Pujari spoke about the LAN cable. Hmm…. LAN cable? I paid attention to his words while I was there. The pujari said to the other person on the phone, “I need LAN cable in the daughter’s bedroom and other room (maybe the hall)....
