Once an old abandoned house for over 16 years, we found this house in the verge of collapsing and the home owner could not maintain the house due to financial burdens. So we went ahead to renovate the house for free and create income stream for the home owner. Made with Love and upcycled material and of course a bunch of new fittings such as AC, new toilet and a new bathroom.
