Please explain step by step.... Ur thoughts are valuable and invitable for next course of my 60+ year's life.....

You only employ " maids". Interesting.

@@haruk2312 what’s wrong with that ? May be u have some trouble understanding what I meant due to cultural differences. Wherever cleaning takes a lot of effort, every household employed maids. What’s wrong in that. May be u r stuck with some mental block on what maid signify. If so, don’t read too much. Maid is a word used for house help at least in my part of world. Not sure what u r assuming it to be.

I agree as even I lived in such a house in my childhood and it needs lot of maintenance. My father loved lot of plants and unlike many architects who nowadays talk a lot about nature and only put plants and trees that are not indegenious and don’t look good, we had a mango grove, all kinds of fruits and all kinds of flowering plants along with few decorative varieties, it needed a lot of maintenance, lot of effort watering and cleaning. Finally when we went to class 10th and labour not available most of the plants died as maintenance not possible. As we didn’t have municipal supply we depended on our borewell. My father never used any chemicals or pesticides as he wanted to protect ground water from pollution. Earlier it was just us in that locality and everyone looked in awe at our home. But later as the area started getting populated the ground water depleted and all our large trees including large mango trees coconut trees died . Only survivor were two chickoo trees which are there even today. Also, the house suffered a lot from trees encroaching on the house . Even though the trees were planted at quite a distance from the house all the roots had come into the house and damaged all flooring. It is very sad to look at the house today as it costs a ton to even maintain it now with roof leaks nd all as the trees have done the damage. Also we don’t have time for maintenance as can’t get labour and can’t get as much leave from work to get it maintained. These practical aspect no architects will tell you. And yes by the way the house was built in mud. Another problem which ruined our garden and trees was that the land had very little soil. It was not rocky but little soil. Once my father ordered some soil for the garden about a truck full. That soil was infested with termites which we didn’t realise. That was another thing that ruined the garden and the house , especially the roofing of the house

@@hanochkodnaik8832 wow. So true. Good to hear ur story. Today everything became about looks and commercial mindset of making it sound great till it gets built / contract gets completed. But some of these issues you mentioned are because of mud house. If it was normal house, some of the issues could have been avoided. Anyway, I know what you mean by labour issues. Our society is full of jobless people but hardly anyone wants to work hard. I faced it lot lot many times. Only solution is to give the contract for demolition and reconstruction..,.

Amazing. I know your house will be in Kerela...particularly in south part of Kerela I guess

Unfortunately now artisans who can make red oxide flooring is very less,even the quality of oxide and 33grade cement which is ideal to make red oxide flooring is not available.

​@@stocktrading5123 Yes now it may cost more to find that 33 grade cement & oxide than to get a marble floor :-) Its exactly like the black and white photos now costing a lot more than color photos 🙂
