P D K Bricks

You can find us at 74 Valparai Road in Angalakurichi, near Kottur. P D K Bricks has been part of this neighborhood for a good while. The view towards Valparai is nice, but we are usually too busy looking at the ground to notice. Our work is all about the soil and the water. We spend hours making sure the mix is just right for the molds. It is a messy business, and our clothes usually show it. The workers here live nearby, and we function like a small community. We don't have any big corporate goals; we just want to make sure the kiln stays hot and the bricks come out solid. The weather can be a real pain sometimes, especially when the clouds start gathering over the hills. We have to rush to cover everything up. It’s a lot of running around. People in Angalakurichi know where we are if they need a few loads for a project. We don't do anything special, just the same work day in and day out. We have our regulars who come by, and we usually stop for a chat and some tea. It’s a slow-paced life in some ways, but the labor is heavy. We are just a local bunch of guys working the yard and keeping things ticking over as best we can for the folks around Kottur.
