The team has a project to make 100 sand bag homes with two 12x12 rooms in each house. This is canadian design.
Why janj and sajid sb's team working there - well because of security reasons large NGOs have just dropped of a few tents to the affected areas and ran out of there
The Construction
Well its a pretty straight forward design based on a badminton court layout, but the ground has to be dug to 2 feet and leveled back to have a flat surface, otherwise the sandbag walls will tilt and a single cm out would destroy the whole alignment
so excavators, tractor trolleys and compaction equipment is involved to have the thing done - not so easy now (H)
but the raw material is sand, jute bags, iron barbed wire. One house requires between 600 to 800 sand bags.
Oops, I frogot to ask how the roof of the house is being built. Will update on it a bit later - ub sab kuch bata duuuunnn ????
Pictures will now follow to update the work in progress with janj's comment sent from his blackberry using ufone
