Demolished

The layout had created unnecessary unusable space. We decided that instead of having to walk around the bedroom to get to the bathroom, we would make the bathroom, kitchen, and livingroom bigger by getting rid of the bedroom on the ground floor.

Now the only bedroom will be upstairs.

Rooms in the making

Right bottom: bathroom, right top: kitchen, left: bedroom. To the left of this will be the entrance and living room.

Puja

The doorway is up! In Pramod's culture they have to do a prayer ceremony (puja) first thing.

Wow foundation!

Lots to be done for such a small area

The plot of land with nothing --digging comes next.

Pramod's nephew, Mithun.

Sump finished

The place for the sump only took a couple of days. It looks pretty nice though.

The hardest thing Pramod has had to face so far has been the angry neighbors

due to all of his supplies blocking the road. Not much room.

Pramod is building his house in India!

January 10th: the moving out and demolition of his house had occured before Pramod arrived in Mysore. Their first step in the building process was to build a place for the sump tank under the front entrance.
