    Who could ever complain about commuting to the seven kilometres to work from Khati to Jatoli???: by bonnie, Views[627]
         		 The flues will need regular cleaning for optimum functioning. The flue cleaning brushes were constructed in Bageshwar by Sharaz/Sharad, they have the added bonus of the handle being made from metal pipe fittings so we could easily attach extra lengths if needed. Five brushes in all to be shared by the villagers.: by bonnie, Views[654]

         		 The top of the chulha has two holes to place pots/kettles on for cooking, when not in use they needed a cover. The villagers decided that galvanised flat iron would be great for the job. And they were right!: by bonnie, Views[511]
     
    An enterprising villager made this implement to clean out their stove from scrap metal (veg oil can etc).: by bonnie, Views[441]

         		 Daytime light is imperative in a Kumaoni house for cooking. UV stable thick plastic was used on the small windows.

         		 A proud Hansi....: by bonnie, Views[427]
