    I worked in India for a few months as I had my own house built over there
    (Long story short I'm back in Scotland again and happy)
    So 7 weeks into building I thought that they'd be pretty much done as it was just a 4 bedroom with 2 main bathrooms, 4 en suite, kitchen, dining room and living room and couple other small rooms like pantry etc.
    So I went over to go help out as by this point the interior would be getting all the bits done, tiling, plastering etc and I wanted to be very involved with the finishing.
    Gets there and they had barely even began! They done literally everything by hand. Even mixing the concrete!
    They had barely finished the foundations lol
    So I went and asked why no machines etc and couldn't get a straight answer.
    So I was walking around taking into account what needed done and what machines needed etc etc. Then this guy put a pic axe clean through his mates leg!!!!
    And I mean the entire 10inch side of the sharp end of the axe!!
    So I took it upon myself to go hire the bloody equipment, and in grand total it cost me £2,600 to hire about 20 different petrol powered machines for over a month!! £2,600!!!! And their gaffer wouldn't even pay!
    And trust me, yeah it's much cheaper to have a house built there than here, but there was plenty in his budget for the machines.
    So I sacked the 'contractor' and personally employed all the guys who he sacked when I sacked him and we got it done in no time at all.
    And I paid each of the men 700,000 each for their work and their boss was gonna give them 90,000 lol!!!!
    They were all over the moon and now I've built about 70 houses in past 5 years and I still have every single one of the men who started that first house with me.
    And 700,000 rupee's is only around £8,000
    India are the worst for treating their people/staff/workers like shit!
    I even found the guy who basically got axe murdered and gave him £1,000
    Britain should be doing a lot more for India....considering....well, you know.
