Its in to the new financial year for India and the building is showing traces of nearing completion. We are about two months behind the schedule we had set in last September, thanks to the rain gods early on, then the holidays, the dispute with contractor and holidays again...
Last time when I updated the blog entry, our first slab was done. Now two more slabs and the stair cabin, elevator shaft top and overhead tank later, we see the end of the tunnel now :-) Floor-wise, here is the status.
Ground Floor:
- Electrical ducting done with boxes for outlets inserted
- Air-condition provisioning done
- Steel structure for supporting spider glazing on drawing room front done
- 1st coat of internal plaster done
- Sample window cladding in black granite done
- All door frames installed
- Added steel rods in grooves at sill level to ensure cracks do not originate in masonry
