There is a team of craftsmen that have been
working in Selong, East Lombok of months now, hand making every window and door
for the new village.
Martin Gow along with Pak Yasin were
invited to visit the workshop on the outskirts of Selong to see firsthand the
scale of the job in hand.
All 436 windows are individually measured
to fix a specific house. At the specially built workshop the raw timber is sanded,
cut to size and tooled for assembly. The
window frames are then spray painted to match the same colour as the outer
frames on the houses. And finally all the glass is cut and inserted into the finished frame, ready for
delivery.
With only a team of 5 craftsmen, they have
been working till midnight most nights to stay on schedule.
Now that’s dedication.
