Eventually when you come to resell, a pool is an added plus. But for your own purposes, emptying the pool and adding a deck over it with a hinged door and steps placed below would be great for storage (as per option b but bearing in mind you could revert). All the best for your lovely new home.

Hello, what a lovely city, I have been there! You undoubtedly already know the most obvious...papaya grow fast, fruit young, they aren't very pretty, but the leaves and flowers are edible, too... Bananas of course Star fruit, I think, can fruit while the tree is still young... Lime trees have very fragrant blossoms...they do well in pots... I don't know about strawberries, I think the humidity and lack of seasonal change might do them in, they would do better in India at higher altitude, I think... I wonder, though, if a kiwi might do all right...going to check...

Could you please share some of your house pictures? And also what kind of appearance are you looking for? based on that will be able to suggest you.

Hello, I jut saw your comment. thanks for the same. Appreciate your suggestion. Could you please help me to get some construction engineer who can help me to design my ground floor which is about 4 ft underground where the floor and ceiling are already there. The side walls are also there. Only thing is the partition wall to be created to make as a single bedroom house. At present on the east side there is a garage and on the north side a room with toilet. We would like to convert this as a proper single bed house. Since I have a very low budget, can you please suggest how to go about it. Thanks and look forward to your advise.
