Varun Shuttering Store

You can find us over at 4/19 in Shivaji Nagar. Varun Shuttering Store is basically a yard full of wooden planks, iron poles, and all the stuff people need when they’re starting to build a foundation or a roof. It’s a lot of lifting and stacking. Every morning we check what’s come back from the construction sites and what needs to go out. Most of the gear is heavy and covered in dried concrete, so we spend a lot of time cleaning things off so they're ready for the next person. Shivaji Nagar is a busy spot, so getting the trucks in and out of the gate can be a bit of a headache sometimes. We don't have a big office, just a small room with a couple of chairs where we keep the logs and take a seat for lunch. My hands are usually pretty rough from handling the wood and metal all day. We’ve got a few guys who help with the loading, and we’ve all learned how to balance the long poles so they don't tip the cart. It isn't a clean job, and by the time evening rolls around, we're all pretty tired. But it’s okay because we see the buildings going up around town and know our stuff is holding them together while the concrete sets. We don’t bother with anything fancy here. We just make sure the shuttering material is sturdy and ready to use whenever someone calls us up or stops by the shop.
