Isha and Pankaj Aggarwal recently renovated their home.
Your favorite construction podcaster, Rishabh Aggarwal recently renovated their home.
Isha was kind enough to visit us at our studio and share her journey of doing her home with all of us.
Rishabh also reminisced in the episode about his own hurdles.
This is not an episode to give any one any gyan.
This was therapy where the two friends shared each other's home renovating journey with each other.
This is a rant, this is sharing and opening up of similar scars, the sole purpose of this episode was for the 2 people to heal through their torrid journey of finishing their home and getting the job done.
This episode is storytelling and consists of all stories behind their crooked walls, their wardrobes, their marble flooring buying challenges and their architects, their interior designers and their moodboard images, their contractors, on what should have been, on how no one tells you the truth, on how things really are in India, on how to choose the right vendors, Neighbor woes, RWAs and their tantrums, pooja of the new home, vastu, architects and commissions, big brands paying commissions and marketing gimmicks, vendors who gave her time, tile purchasing, so many opinions and the confusions they create, sanitary fittings and luxury, no transparency of the sourcing of materials by brands, workmanship, how contractor sold his work at the beginning, people knowing how to sell but not how to build, no one takes the pain, having 5-7 different wooden finish shades within one bedroom, how she made her kitchen vendor learn how to build premium kitchens, relationship with vendors post work, her kitchen counter breaking because of 10mm difference only, what did an installer say to her when she said finish up the work, losing patience and patience running thin towards the end, how no one writes anything down, cost of re-working in a home, the people you hire doing multiple jobs and the challenge with it, How Instagram shows you a false image and life is not picture perfect, Internet helped a lot, .
Warning: After hearing this episode, you might not renovate your home yourself and if you do, you just might know the value behind hiring the right professionals!
Give this is a listen. This is a simple heart to heart conversation of truths. Isha is razor sharp honest with her experience.
