Completed the Earthing process for my home
It is surprising to my own-self of how many new things I am learning while making my home. Buying a ready made home is so easy then making a house. But trust me, nothing is more fulfilling then making it from ground zero, the satisfaction I am getting is immense and it makes me connect deeper and deeper with my place.
The structure of my home is ready, now I am working on the interiors and the exteriors. The Electrician guy told me that it is time to do the Earthing for the home. Honestly I had no clue what's that supposed to be. I never knew about this process. He told me it has to be done to stay protected from electric shocks. In this process he explained to me that all the wires from the distribution board will be connected to the electrode or the earth plate. So if there is any power surge the current will flows through the earth rod to the ground.
If the earthing is not done well then there are chances that we can get electric shocks while using the electricity at home. So I understand that this is the most important and a basic process in any house construction, but yes I must accept that I was not aware of it. I thought the earthing process is done through some switchboards.
The electrician made multiple such small pits in our garden area, then those are filled with charcoal powder. Charcoal helps retain the moisture for a longer duration.
The process is on
A copper Earthing rod is now fixed inside
There was lot of salt also added in the pit along with the charcoal powder. The pit was filled up with the charcoal powder, sand and salt and then the wires were connected with the rod, which was very technical and not really in my complete understanding. But yes this was a good learning for me, with all of this I am understanding a lot of science behind all of these things.
I am sure there is still lots to learn for me before my home gets fully ready. Specially the plumbing and electrical works have been very interesting for me as these are things where we never pay attention to what goes in the background. We only look at the outer beauty and appearance of our bathrooms and lightings, but how exactly things happen are way too complicated.
Thank you for visiting my blog. 👼🏻👼🏻💖💖🌹🌺🌸

there's a statement over here saids as; Joy of virgin apartment.
This means the happiness that one derives cause of been the first person to occupy a compound.
I used to disregard it until I was opportuned to stay in one.
That joy of been the first to touch everything that is new. The neatness etc.
That's why even if I buy an home, I still prefer building from scratch
However, congratulations
More grace to you
That's so true and specially when everything is handpicked by you and created then that magic of the first touch is very special.
Thank you for your good wishes
Congratulations for your new house. Its exactly true that we get to learn so many things when we build our own house from scratch.
Thank you for the wishes
We learn daily and I am glad you are taking the step of learning also. Keep the work going
Oh yes, on daily basis there is something new to explore in the process
Making a house is actually something that is not easy but it is always better because you will build it to your taste
And it should be cheaper
You are right, it is a lot of effort but it comes out cheaper and then everything is exactly the way you want
Building your own home gives you a sense of belonging, you will love it. My grandparents built their house in the country with my uncles and aunts, and today I am proud of that. It was the happiest place in our childhood.
Wow, I am sure you must be having fond memories. There is a magic of creating something by yourself
The beauty of the house retains when we take the pain to built it ourselves. Not easy, but the end result will bring smile to our face. Wishing you a blessed house warming ceremony at the earliest.
Every day I feel so happy as my place is coming up, and not only happy I also feel proud of myself
@ nainaztengra, You are right, there is a different joy in seeing your house being built from scratch. It is very important to have earthing for the house. When for some reason the flow of current becomes excessive, grounding it protects us from getting a shock and any electronic item in the house from getting damaged. Congratulations on your new home
I was honestly now aware of this before, I knew that a Earthing process has to be done, but how it's done I was not aware
ahh....I knew only the name of this process but I didn't have an idea HOW it was made;) my Dad knows much about it, and I heard his stories but I had never seen how workers make it. Now I know;))
Same here, I was aware that a Earthing process is there, but I used to always think that it must be some switch in the main electrical box, I never knew the process until I had to do it for the home. Every day is a new learning :-)
You can gather a lot of information from this because this way we can know how it can become in the foundation of the house. By doing this, all the problems in our house also get resolved.
