The following narratives came up with the actions taken at step 1.
- A series of revised drawings (see above) and a revised estimate for our contractor (Hemanth Kumar) and our team of masons (Yogesh Anna and Co).
- Locations of the septic tank and sump tank and their excavation to understand the soil below. soil was dug along with the local well-digging team (Raju from Penukonda), who moved the soil out to the garden area for us to play with.
4. The site was marked again, this time with the foundations redesigned based on soil strata; marked with the help of Mira and excavated with the same team that dug the pits.
6. Deeper conversations post lunch with Artist – Parents, Arnab ( https://www.instagram.com/arnab_creates/) and Pooja (https://www.instagram.com/themamulistudio/) on the possibilities of engagements led by them.
5. Namrata is carefully leading and managing the outreach and developing content for engagement through workshops, possibly extending the build period to the end of June 2026. Seen below is her class at SMI being introduced to the project.
