Day one of Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math branch centre construction |
|
|
|
Digging holes and rebar forming |
|
|
|
Each hole took two days with two men digging. Ishani Devi Dasi overseeing the work |
|
|
|
The holes were approximately 9 feet deep |
|
|
|
Laying gravel followed by the rebar base |
|
|
|
16 mm rebar form carried by 5 men and put into the hole |
|
|
|
Taking out the old concrete and digging out holes is very hard work |
|
|
|
Mixing together sand, cement, and gravel. One post is done |
|
|
|
Second and third posts in progress |
|
|
|
Centre hole is almost dug. |
