A home in Pannimadai
-
WallsBlockwork up and the frame closed in, scaffolding still around it. The plan stops being a drawing and becomes rooms. -
PlasteringPlastered inside and out. Every surface straightened before any finish goes on. -
PaintingFirst face painted and the board goes up outside. The building starts looking like the drawing. -
FinishingScaffolding moves round to the remaining elevations. The slow stage, and the one you live with. -
Boundary wallCompound wall up, the site closed in and cleared. What is left is inside. -
HandoverVerandah roofed, gates hung, the drive laid. Handed over — and lived in ever since.
