Chit Chat - What's on your mind today?

Here, just this one is enough to show present status

Looks nice! Great placement among the trees. Looks like a good sized yard too.

Looks like it is coming along nicely SKB.

Just got this picture today morning. This is from another angle and perspective and so I thought I'd share. The wood and bamboo structure you see on the right is a machan we made almost 2 years ago. From there, and beyond our fence is a small pond frequented by animals of all sizes and shapes, including tigers. The core forest is just 350 meters away from us. You can see the forest tree line in the background.
 
Flooring and other work is progressing.

Looking good!!

Yup. The setting is a good one. I am having lot of trouble managing things long distance. The problem is that most of the skilled people have moved to the cities and what is left behind is very mediocre manpower that is part time farmer and part time civil worker. Sometimes it gets very frustrating to just put across what I want.

It must be very frustrating! You are getting close to the end though so hang in there.

First glimpse of the Living/Dining Room Floor. The 2nd color you see in the middle will also be as border all around and the skirting trims as well.

Wow! Is that marble? Looks beautiful!

Nope, that is vitrified ceramic tile in size 1200 mm x 600 mm (4'x2').

It is still beautiful! The photo looks like a huge slab, but then it isn't cleaned up and you can't make out the individual tiles.

My flooring is mostly done and the toilet tiling is in progress. Wanted to share the kitchen platform being done. Since it is a very rural area a modular kitchen was not possible, so we are doing it the old fashioned way.

Base preparation for paint is more or less done. That's one view of the Living Room. Windows and granite frame is yet to be fixed.
