Yesterday, for some reason, I got to see so much content related to Trust. So, I decided to share today’s email about Trust. While building your house, you should not rely on the TRUST factor more. It would help if you always thought about the Give and Take policy. It could go wrong if you trust any service provider with your Money or work-related stuff more than necessary. Always be the “first product, then take money” mindset....
A few days back, my brother and I installed CCTV cameras that we bought during this Amazon big billion sale. Installation was also over. When we switched on the DVR, we noticed out of 10 cameras, 3 cameras were not working. Again, my brother attempted to fix the issue; out of those 3 cameras, 2 started working, and 1 camera had some issues. Did you know why 3 cameras had such issues?...
Hello… Hello… Hello… Cut call. Our old cook acted like he could not hear my voice and cut the call. For the past 2 days, I tried to reach him. He is doing the same kind of acting repeatedly. This time, I got confirmation that he was intentionally acting. I got up from my chair and went to the hall to inform my dad. My dad: Okay. Me: For the second building, I was feeling happy thinking this time, none of the contractors played any extra game because of following my house construction tracking system....
Last Saturday, my brother and I went to a battery shop to replace our dead car battery. Usually, all battery shops take old batteries at discounted prices. So we took our old battery to replace it with a new battery. The owner first asked us if we needed to recharge or if we wanted to buy a new battery? We know recharging the battery is a temporary solution, so we went with replacing the battery itself....
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....

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. We have around 10 meters + 10 meters + 1 meter....
If you want to know the size stone price, you are in the right place. I will share the Size Stone price per piece or per load in this article. When constructing our House in Bangalore, we bought size stones for our foundation work from different size stone suppliers in Bangalore. Usually, size stone is supplied per load bases and not per piece bases. So price usually depends on the vehicle they use for transportation....

Have you ever bought cement in bulk, like 50 bags at once? Then you might get cheated without actually knowing it. It happened recently to me. I’m still not sure I got cheated or not. But somehow cement bag count was missing and not tallying with the actual cement bag I ordered. Usually, I order 130 bags of cement during molding time. While unloading cement bags during molding time, one of the gang owners alerted me regarding how one of the cement unloading guys who is unloading cement bags cheated 7 bags of cement on one location and how he got caught and warned me correctly to take count....
