There has been some problems with water seepage upstairs so our landlord hired a company to remove a lot of the old cracked stucco outside the upstairs rooms and fix the damage. The company is also going to seal up the window sills so that the water doesn't get in.
Thus, yesterday consisted of tremendous amount of banging as they hammered out the old stucco etc – needless to say I stayed downstairs and in the other side of the house.
Today I heard workmen outside on the terrace. Being India, I went outside for a look with my camera and this is what I saw – this guy was being held by a very dodgy looking rope (sailor knotted) around his waist while two buddies above were lowering supplies to him to seal the sill on other ropes. Mind you this is 6 stories up!!:
Rathakrishnan – yes, that his him in blue – casually observed that the work seemed "dangerous"…. yeah, no @#%$
