This incident was recently explained by our electrical laborer who is doing some old building electrical alteration work.
That old building is none other than the cement trader shop where we used to buy cement first.
Until today, the building owner did open wiring for temporary purposes for his shop… but now, he wants his commercial shop to rent to others, so he is preparing that unit. So they used our electrical contractor to spice up the rental unit to make it modern.
Last month we were making some changes to our existing house related to some electrical things.
And it’s only for our own house and doesn’t include any of our rental units.
On a rough estimation, it easily cost us more than 15,000 rs on labor costs alone.
I just finished watching the Karnataka election result. I hope Congress fulfills all it’s free guarantee to all the houses ?
One of their guarantees is to give 200 units of free electricity to all the houses every month!
I still don’t know what rules they will add.
I just calculated how much it costs to the government monthly from our house.
While our construction work was ongoing, one incident happened near our building.
The building is a double building (similar to ours)… owner did wiring to his building, and he removed the security guard from his job for some reason.
The security guy left the job from that building.
Within a few days, the owner lost 6 lakh worth of electrical wire from the building ?
The lost Wire was never recovered.
No… it’s not done by the security guy.
When our electrical contractor work was almost complete, our contractor asked me – “Sir, Payment.”
Ok… After checking with my system, I told them ₹5,000 is what we have to pay.
Our contractor – no, I think it should be around ₹10,000.
Hmm… again, some conflict.
I checked again roughly, and it showed the same ₹5,000.
Near our house, two new construction work is going on. I can clearly see those constructions from my building.
In that, one building owner is an EXPERIENCED house constructor. The reason is the new building he is constructing is his 3rd House.
He is not a professional builder.
He is just like us. All those buildings are owned by his family itself. In that one building, they recently sold for around 1.75cr. So they used that fund, bought a new site, and doing a new construction near our house.
A few days back, I shared a pressure issue on 3rd floor problem. I thought that complaint got solved to some extent.
Nope… I was wrong.
When I met my 3rd-floor tenant Zyan, he complained about the same issue: “bro, sometimes water almost stops coming into the toilet, and I never faced such an issue with kitchen taps.”
After I heard that complaint again, I called our plumber to check the issue. He said he would come within 2 days.
Although this is our (me and my dad) second construction experience.. We are still making a silly mistake. After learning from our mistakes, we laugh by murmuring to each other.
Today, the MS Work contractor noticed one such mistake while our second building’s main gate installation work was going on.
Here’s our conversation with him:
I went to the tiles shop to know the status of my tiles order for our old building reconstruction work.
While speaking to the tiles shop owner, he said, “Sir, there is half constructed building for sale near your house. Would you be interested in purchasing? If your not, then if anyone is interested, let them know about that building.”
I said, “OK.”
We dug Road (Mud road) to put the cable from the Electric pole to our House.
Our area Water Men came and saw and said – Sir; you are digging Road – did you took permission from authority? Or you will have to pay the penalty.
I said Nothing. I kept quite smiling at him.
