Worst Fan Company

by

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.

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.

Outdoor Lights Automation Coming Soon

by

So we decided to give it a try on this brand new device to make it simpler to operate.

Initially, we followed the straightforward guide mentioned in the device; after using it for a few days, we noticed a lot of disadvantages in using it as is…

Customer questions about the electrical system

by

Got the below question from one of our All-Access Pass Customer:

Hi Arun,

First of all thank you very much for sharing your experience and lessons learned in house construction. I am benefiting a lot after going through your articles.

I am planning to construct a house in Kochi, Kerala. Two floor house for own use. I have a couple of questions about the electrical system.

1. Is Busbar required for home use?

I think you used it because you have different houses for rental. Am I correct ?

2. You have used two electricity meters. May I know why? (Outdoor meter and 3 phase meter)

Regards,
Kishore
