Siddappa Bricks

You can find Siddappa Bricks out on the Hospet Bypass Road in Harpanahalli. We are at number 51/414. Being on the bypass makes it easy for the big lorries to get in and out without having to go through the middle of town. It gets incredibly hot out here, especially in the afternoons when the sun reflects off the bricks and the road. We have a lot of stacks lined up, and it’s a constant job of moving them from the drying area to the storage piles. I’ve been running this place with a small crew for a long time. We don't use any fancy marketing tricks or have a big corporate office with a receptionist. It's just a shed and a lot of open ground. Harpanahalli has been growing lately, so we see a lot of new faces looking for materials. The dust is just part of the job; it gets into your clothes and your hair, but you stop noticing it after the first hour. We usually start our day before dawn to beat the worst of the heat. Sometimes we sit around in the evening once the trucks have all gone, just watching the sun go down over the bypass. It’s a simple operation, and we like it that way. If someone needs bricks, they know where the sign is. We just focus on getting the work done and making sure the batches are solid for the folks who come by.
