Farm land without Farm home would be a shame.

 I knew I wanted to build a traditional home using red roof tiles and wood frames because I know the Indian weather well and specially to survive during summer. I planned for it and as I always say I am the most luckiest person in the world. πŸ˜‰

I had a great opportunity to live and travel around in the historical European countries and I always observe detail of the places I visit and I memorised it somehow. At that time I implant the ideas and I decided if I ever wanted to build the home then I should implement these ideas and designs for sustainable living. It was a long wait but its absolutely worth it!!! Approximately for 20 years πŸ˜‚

So for PK paradise home, I had plans but to bring it to the design was not easy because I had zero experience. 

First challenge was the architecture diagram... I spoke with few experts and it seemed to me that they charge a lot and I didnt want to spend money on it. 

Since I had a vision I wanted to design on my own and to get help I reached google and I  found 15 days free architecture plan software. That was amazing. I used and I made my paradise design!!!


I asked my construction contractor to use this and based on this he started to build the house. 

You might think oh, in PK paradise everything happened so easy... NO NO NO!!! Wait for the issues... 

I do not want to scare my readers in the beginning.πŸ˜‰


As I said we always start with some prayers...


Work starts...


Basement...


This is where the building material is stored. Simple eco hut!!!







 So, the final structure is established as per the design.

The main issues I had to face with the contractor were,

His main plan was to cheat me at the maximum possible and use my money for his own home build. This I found that later. With the money I provided he built two story building in the nearby city. πŸ˜€πŸ˜… That would have been acceptable if he had done something for me to live reasonably. I paid 95 percentage of the money for the 40 percent of the work completion. It sound stupid but I did!!!

I was naive and trusting contractors is not always good idea as you all know. I learnt it but to implement is so hard. Because if you dont provide them money they do not work. Its tricky business and I specially need to learn a lot in that aspect.

So I found this betrayal is highly unacceptable and I almost begged him to finish it off as per promise. But of course he doesnt want. And he left me no option other than complaining to Police.

During this construction period I stayed with my parents and their home is about 100 km far and I have to take 4 buses and 4 km walk to reach PK Paradise.

I visit the site alternate days because it was so tiring and practically impossible to do so everyday. Also I had a grandson living with us and I wanted to spend time with them and help my parents as well.

So During this journey I used the time to raise online complaint against the contractor😁. The TN Police system is improvised in this case I could do it online.

So the guy was present in the station and he got warning and he gave it in writing that he will finish all pending work in 30 days. Good thing was I gave a complaint and I got some important work done meanwhile. 

The contractor tried to finish things, he did very crappy work and I start to think its going to be wasted if I let him continue. 

I can give second time complaint against him but Police would say take care of him in the court.πŸ˜…πŸ˜…

I was so mad about his betrayal and I wanted to take him to the court and I wanted to argue myself. But with few days I decided to forget about it and finish the work and move on with my life and think of higher purpose than fighting these cheats. 

I dont know how far you believe it, I am still working on the pending construction by myself!!! Its October 2025. FYI: He supposed to deliver the full finished home in October 2022.πŸ˜€

So long story short I have place to live now. That too its a Paradise for me!!!!

Bringing water from deep underground to surface!

Turning into a farmer was one of the best decisions that I have made besides being SINGLE 😊😎. Water is one of the most important nutrients...
