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.

I wish I could have taken some images of that spot.

Anyway, the same thing happened in our first building as well.

We unknowingly hired some unskilled electrician to do the electrical work. Because of this result, the same kind of issues also happened in multiple locations in our first building.

Hiring cheap or unskilled labourers always costs more than skilled labour.

The first building’s electricians used many more electrical materials, like pipes, wires, etc., than our second building’s skilled electricians.

It’s not just about the money…

Those unskilled electricians put electrical boxes in beams/walls, etc., which cannot be hidden. We have a few such spots in our first building.

I initially thought that our first building electrical contractor was the only one who was unskilled to do such electrical work.

I felt wrong after seeing the similar work in that room.

So, I just added another point inside the Electrical work guide regarding How to Pick the Right Electrical Contractor in the 1.5 section.

Go through that point, see the image, read the tip, and follow all the instructions while picking an electrical contractor for your building.

Not all contractors/labourers do the same standard work. Keep that in mind.

Choosing the right contractor is very important to get a quality output in your house construction.

Our relative material contract story

Yesterday one of our relatives came to our house.

It’s just a casual visit to our house. Their house is somewhat near to our house.

They recently constructed their building… before starting their construction work, they visited our house just to discuss their construction plan and to take suggestions.

Me and my dad gave a few suggestions while discussing.

I shared a few very important things.

The Right way of choosing an Electrical contractor

While building our first building, we learned some lessons the really hard way.

One such lesson is hiring the wrong electrical contractor.

When we hired the wrong electrical contractor, we not only faced issues with electrical work in our building.

But we also faced an issue getting the final permanent connection from the electricity department.

After completing our building work, we waited 2 to 3 months for a permanent connection.

How did this guy get scammed out of $82,000 by a Contractor

I subscribed to many email newsletters by marketers that I love learning from.

A few days back, one guy shared his story of getting scammed out of $82,000 by a contractor.

This guy is not from India, so the currency is in dollars.

Even though this story is from a different country, I believe this is relevant here as well.

This guy paid a contractor $82K to construct a 30% pool in his house.

The contractor collected the payment and just disappeared.

you should “MASTER” this…

While building your house, one thing you should master is… saying “NO” to your contractor.

What I’m referring to is…

Contractors usually call suddenly out of nowhere and tell some story to ask for money…

That’s a common practice done by all contractors in most cases.

Once you say YES… they may return it or ask you to deduct it from future payments.

Checking Contractors Work – How to Find Contractor is Right Fit?

Suddenly 2 people came with our granite contractor to our construction house at 10 Am.

No, no… not a severe issue.

Our granite contractor… “Sir, they have to see our granite work. Please give me the building keys so I can show the work?”

My dad. “OK., here are the keys”.

They went to see the granite work and returned after a few minutes to give back the keys. 

All of them left now.
