RAISING THE TRUSS

The present height of the chapel was not proportional to its width and length. It was needed to increase the height of the chapel. To reduce the cost of it, it was decided to maintain the truss like that and raise it. After cosulting the engineer it was decided to raise 1.5m (even though it could be raised more, they didn't did it!! dont know why!!)

MUKHAVARAM WORK PROGRESS

As other works were carried out , parallel to that the 'padinjare kotta'  was also progressing. I would like to add some photos over various stages in the 'mukhavaram' construction.

PARAPET WALL AND SHADE WORKS COMPLETED

The parapets of the roof and shades on both the sides are completed.Before that, the existing roof was demolished. The truss was maintained like that. It was found that the current height of  the church is not enough and the truss need to be raised. Discussions for the same has been started and will be implemented soon. The mukhavaram work is going on very smoothly. Pictures of it is added here.
