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.
Yesterday our family went to one of my dad’s friends house warming ceremony.
Many of his friends came, and that event became like a get-together event for my dad and his friends.
My dad enjoyed that function by seeing all his old friends.
While my dad and his friends were having a conversation, one of his friends said he wanted to construct his house, so he usually started asking for some suggestions from us.
If anytime big festival comes and there are few things happen during your house construction time.
1) shortage of labor
2) work will stop
3) prices will go up
etc.,
Not for all festivals it happens. But during some BIG FESTIVALS, then those issues will occur.
For example, let’s consider “Ayudha Puja,” which happened on 4th Oct 2022 in Karnataka.
Yesterday… I had to order cement. I just needed to order only 10 bags. Because our building is already in the finishing stage, the method I explained in cement pricing secrets won’t work in low quantity orders.
So I had no option but to look for a nearby cement seller.
It was afternoon… I took my bike to check pricing with all the local sellers. Here’s their response.
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:
Yesterday I went to assist our relative in buying a laptop. While waiting for him, one incident happen.
I was waiting alone on the bus stop.
One guy came near me and asked, “do you know Kannada.” I replied, “yes.”
The guy started saying, “Sir, I was supposed to go xxxxx, but I lost money, and now I’m short of cash to get there. Can you please help me?“
It’s raining in Bangalore. Here is my tip today.
Collect rainwater and use it for construction work.
If your house construction work is happening during the rainy season and, if possible to collect rainwater, then collect it and use it for construction activity.
We are human; we forgot stuff.
At least it’s true for me.
If I don’t write it down, I usually forget the stuff.
When doing your house construction, if you have any special requirements related to any job, I recommend writing them down.
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.
We (me & our Dad) and our granite contractor were calculating how much we have to pay for granite and tiles laying charges.
We both took measurements 2 days before itself.
While calculating, we didn’t understand some calculations, so “we entered data based on our own understanding” and thought to discuss with our contractor later.
