Right from my home office room window, I can see one new building construction work is going… I may get a few ideas I could share here while watching the construction spot. The owner is an experienced guy. As far as I know, this is the 3rd or 4th house construction he is doing. Today, I got one idea when I saw their labourers taking a submersible pump from the sump....
Yesterday, Me and my dad wanted to visit the hospital. My dad and I thought the doctor informed us to come yesterday, so the day before yesterday night, we were getting ready… While keeping all the documents inside my bag, I opened my discharge summary letter. They clearly mentioned in writing that I needed to visit after 4 Weeks instead of 14 days (which I thought). I informed the same to my dad....
Today, my work is filled with applying for a lot of credit cards. The reason is the discount we get when shopping online. Sometimes, I miss discounts due to not having that specific bank credit card. And I only apply for free credit cards… Not the cards that require any annual fees and all. Anyway… Today’s topic is Why you need to have a good relationship with your contractors even after construction work is over, especially with Building contractors....
Few days back we met our first cement supplier when we went to vegetable shopping there. He started speaking to my dad and asking “why you are no longer doing business with us.” For your information, he not only sells cement and steel. He also has shamiyana and light items as well. Usually, for any of our functions, we used to order from his shop earlier. After realising the cement price difference between his shop and another secret shop, we stopped buying cement, steel and shamiana items from his shop....
Yesterday, my Mom and my wife went to a baby naming ceremony at the backside of our house. After finishing the function, both of them returned. I returned from my home office (new building) to our house (first house) to ask how the function was… Good. Both replied. While having a conservation, my wife informed me that they wanted to reconstruct their house. For your information, that house owner had 2 sons and 1 daughter....
We always make some changes while doing construction work. Similarly, we also changed the window placement on our first building. The building contractor labourer already built a wall and placed a window. After that, someone came to the building and gave a good and valid suggestion. That time, we decided to accept that suggestion and make changes in our building where labourers had already done the work. If it’s small work, usually labourers do that themself....
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. Auncle got a little bit impressed with my suggestion....
I’m sending this email from my village… I came here for a village festival which happens once a year, every year. It’s a grand festival most of them will gather for this festival from different places. It’s FUN to meet everyone. One of my and my dad’s good friends is constructing his house in our village. He took our dad to his construction house to ask if anything he was missing....
My dad called me on the phone in a low tone, saying, “Arun, some major issue happened. Come Urgently to the second floor….” **Before this call… ** Our carpenter came to install Soap Trays on the Toilet. My dad went with our carpenter. I and my MOM were talking outside our first floor by sitting on a chair… As it’s not a major task, I didn’t go with my dad....
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. When the contractor came to our house - we asked how much we were supposed to pay like that…....
