If I understand the seasons in India correctly, you have already been through the rainy season. Don't wait until the next rainy season to get the problem with your drainage fixed. Now will probably be the ideal time to get it fixed. Please get someone who will tell you what to do and then have the work done. The paint on that wall in your beautiful home will keep coming off!

sararahim123 What constitutes an adequate illumination level varies from person to person. What exactly do you require illuminated? If its simply ambient light you would have tiny lights as shown that throw light on the stairs itself. If a bit more is required you could consider adding a railing with a light under. If general illumination is what you are going after, but in a muted way, would suggest wall scones that throw light upwards onto the ceiling, diffusing the light.

You could integrate a single automated mechanical chair System on to the side of the railing which the Elders could use with ease. And you don't have to modify the existing staircase. And I can technically give you a working solution if you are interested. Contact 8073342913

Hi Puspa, Here are some ways in which you may convert an existing wall into a brick wall - 1] If you are alright with replacing the existing wall entirely, then terracotta bricks are your answer. A terracotta brick wall gives a rustic buy neat finish as compared to the conventional brick masonry. However, this would require major civil work. 2] Another way is to strip the existing wall of its plaster and expose the underlying masonry. You can protect this masonry with a lacquer coating (your painter will help you with that). However, this again required some amount of civil work. 3] If you want to work with the existing wall without breaking it, opt for cladding materials. You may go for brick like cladding materials like terracotta wall cladding. These come in a variety of colours and are easy to apply and maintain. They come for both interior and exterior applications. 4] Punning is another way of achieving the desired look on a wall. The painter or false ceiling guy can help you with this task. Basically he will pun the wall in pop and engrave grout lines so as to give it a brick wall look. 5] Lastly, you may go for brickwork looking wall paper or a 3d panel. While a wallpaper would look flat and unconvincing, a 3d panel would do the trick. You can either paint on the 3d panel or leave it as is. As far as procuring items locally is concerned, I am sure a local vendor or contractor will guide you through. Regards, RnD Atelier Nagpur
