An extra door at rear to facilitate access to toilet-bathroom or extension.
Cement pointing of the exterior face of stone walls
Mosquito proof three small windows for ventilation and light
Small internal divider to separate kitchen area
Wall plate with extra stiffening and proper anchoring to wall for enhanced structural stability even in earthquake
One additional column for the ridge beam
Improved connections between the ridge beam and the timber columns for enhancing structural stiffness and stability against lateral forces of earthquake and wind.
