I'd hoped that work would get started today but it was not to be. The guys who'd promised to take on the jobs were surprisingly not to be seen for reasons unknown. Probably, the last day of the nearby Ganesh temple's festivities was the distraction or was it the rains? Time's ticking away and I've plenty lined up. Sanil's presence has been of a great help because he has the knack of dealing with them and arriving at reasonable costs because of his agricultural knowledge and related estimates.
Our caretaker has been busy and therefore, we'd decided to tap other resources. Accordingly, another JCB guy was roped in and given the scope of work. He has given his quote and promised to begin work by tomorrow afternoon. He'd, further, confirmed by late evening that he stood by his commitment.
The mason had come by, assessed the work, given his quote and after haggling, arrived at a reasonable cost. He'll begin his part of the work by early morning tomorrow. It's only after he finishes his repair work can the painter do his share of work. The boundary wall along with the gate will be refurbished simultaneously.
There was a continuous drizzle all through the day and hope it doesn't persist so as to spill over to tomorrow because if that were to happen, the JCB work will have to be delayed. Meanwhile, the internal electrical and plumbing repairs were carried out this morning.
We'd a continuous stream of guests all through the day. Mom was, therefore, engaged and was joyous thanks to the interactions. I heard her tell a few to ask the others to drop by over the next few days!
Tailpiece.
So near yet so far!
