It began with a need for the chicken coop at the campus
Sanjay took the initiative to decide the design and mentor
Achalesh decided to take it up
It began with – what it is, why do we want, watching some videos on different possibilities.
Then deciding the place – near or far, within eyesight or out of sight,
Then designing it – dimensions, material, etc
Then measurements of the material, budgeting
Then finding out from the market – making calls, visiting the shop, etc
Then also googling and searching and exploring various options of bends etc
Then…work in progress
At each stage a discussion became a natural process, the feedback as part of the process, questioning became part of doing,
Resources explored – all kinds of pipes, people, shops, market,
Resource People – hardware shopkeepers, Muniraj Anna, Sanjay and Ratnesh
Skills – designing, imagining, discussing, applying, researching, listening, decision making,
Two more joined in making
Initially, we thought that we need to involve Seenappa Anna to cut and make a structure – but Achelesh with his team took it up. With various discussions with Ratnesh on HOW to install, measure, cut, use tools, and process to make with why, how, and many more experiences.
