Ground Floor Walls

After the plinth, the mason started on the ground floor walls. Just 2 people are working on the walls. They lay the bricks, plaster some cement mix on it and go on till each wall is complete. The cement mix is basically cement + jelly + sand mixed in the right proportions. Once a wall is done, they splash water at regular intervals and let the wall ‘cure’. Good quality potable water is so critical at this stage of construction. We got lucky with the society water connection and cauvery connction coming in time. Otherwise, lot of money for water tanks. It took about  3 weeks for ground floor walls to be completed. Next was the RMC or mould for ground floor ceiling.
