4 months completed today into the new life and today we managed to get the chulha going in our newest home. This means that we now have walls of the house, the roof, the flooring done and the chulha installed. We cooked a little sweet and shared it with people present. The entire construction so far has been done using none of the commonly known ecologically harmful material like cement, furnace burnt bricks, iron rods, etc. We now have walls made of stone, joining is done with mud, inner walls have been done with sun-burnt bricks and roof is done using locally available wood (luckily for us it happens to be teak) and roof tiles. Wood is also used in the door & window frames. The doors and windows are yet to be made. We’ll use the same wood for them as well. We intend to spend the day in the new house starting tomorrow and if plans fructify, we’ll also sleep there itself.
