Work has begun on the 3rd Farmstay at Vaksana Farms . The name of the farmhouse is NEST. An apt name as it's in the middle of the Food Forest.

On this page, we will document the construction progress.

Got in soil to increase the height of the land where we plan to put the granite sofas. Once the soil was dumped, we got a JCB to level it. I'm particularly excited about the four granite sofas. They make socializing outdoors very convenient.

The handrail for the spiral staircase is now ready.

I was toying with having no handrails but quickly changed my mind in the interest of safety.

Very happy with how it turned out.

Tomorrow is Grahaprevesham for TANG, the second farmstay at Vaksana Farms. Three months back, this was just a dream. It's heartening to see the dream take shape.

A first look at the spiral staircase. It's still work in progress.

Dad fabricated this himself.

We choose to make this DIY instead buying readymade spiral stairs.

The walls for the second bathroom are being worked on.

An important feedback we received from families at our first farmstay that come as groups of 7 or 8 members is that they would have preferred another bathroom.

We took that feedback and incorporated it into TANG, our second farmstay.

After the wall (which separated the hall from bedroom) was removed, the house looks far more spacious. Glad we realised this and did not fall into the sunk cost fallacy trap. Happy that we knocked it off.

We have started to demolish the wall to make TANG look spacious.

This is a mistake that has costed us money, effort and time. But a lesson learned. Wish I had planned it better. Better late than having to regret it forever. I'm happy that we took this decision.

Do you see this wall? This was part of the original plan and we went ahead and constructed it. This wall separates the hall and the bedroom. Unfortunately, the wall made the place looked cramped. Remember that the tiny farmhouse is a mere 450 square feet.

The solution was to have this wall removed so that we can have one seamless space. I'll give updates on this soon.
