I'm back in Chennai on Business for a couple of weeks, so here are some photo's of the sights I didn't see last time

While I'm here in India Fiona has sent me pictures and from them I can see that the main roof is now complete, so the main scaffolding has been dropped, the floor boards are down upstairs and the new walls have started to be formed.

The old utility room walls have been removed, and the breakthrough to the new upstairs has just started.

The roof trusses arrived today and are now put in place ready for tiling to start. Click here for lots of photos from the last two days

Just to prove that the weather is against us, look at this rain radar picture from today, the only place in the entire area to have rain !
