I've recently purchased and begun construction of a bungalow on a 5.12 Guntha (519 sq mts or 5584.44 sq ft) plot of land in Panvel, Navi Mumbai. I'm planning on developing this site as the construction work proceeds - and also as the work on the vegetable garden, bamboo grove, coal grill with pizza oven, etc moves along. All updates are made on my blog right here.
Current plans are fairly limited - ground + 1 storey bungalow, 800 sq ft bamboo grove with a patio in the centre. A walkway connecting the front and back of the bungalow, that is essentially encased in a grape-vine pergola. A vegetable garden with about 40 raised beds - each approximately 1 sq m in size. And then of course the 7ft high stepped water fountain with a lawn and a moving bamboo water fountain.The usual bungalow features - tiled front yard with garage, overhead and underground water tank for extra water, fencing and boundry wall, outdoor lighting (I'll be using CFLs, critics be damned) and last but not the least - sewage treatment (septic tank).This website will illustrate various phases of my through process, along with a variety of things I would like to implement and would like suggestions on, and is left accessible to the public for a sort of one-way conversation. I intend to enable comments on the blog in the near future, but for now this is it.
