Do they have to be paint buckets? I would think they would not be good for gardening? Maybe others will know more about that. But in the U.S. you can get 5 gallon buckets from some local businesses like bakeries, food store chains, places like those that regularly use items they get in the buckets. For instance a bakery usually gets stuff in 5 gallon buckets and often has to throw them into a dumpster as they can only save so many. Some businesses now sell them for a small fee, maybe 1 dollar U.S. each and some just give them away. I think the cost of shipping them to India would be more than the cost of buying them. You could try setting up a fund on Kiva.org and possibly get enough donations to purchase food grade buckets instead of using ones from paint. Good luck with this project and please update us as to your progress.

I am not a designer. Not every house has to have a hallway but I wonder about efficiency problem: people crossing into dining table/chairs to get beyond to another room. There just has to be enough room I guess.

Hi, do you have any photos of your kitchen and possibly a plan with measurements? If you'd like some one to one help and advice, feel free to contact me directly. Email - kerrybryaninteriors@outlook.com Kerry

since the dimensions are unclear it's difficult to suggest. If you use Maya software it has provision of inserting a PDF file which converts it in layers. Try it - This might help. Regards BLUEARCH ARCHITECTS
