Ramaswamy Sentring

We are located at house 6-59 in Doravarivempalle, over here in Kothagudam, Warangal district. It is mostly about the centering materials like poles and plates. We have been doing this for a good while. My brother and I handle the heavy stuff. It's a lot of loading and unloading from the trucks. When someone is building a house nearby, they come to us for the support structures. The iron gets very hot in the sun, so we try to do the heavy moving early in the morning. We keep everything stacked in the yard. It's not a neat place, there is always some mud or rust around. But that is just how construction work is. We know the people around here well. Sometimes we go out to the sites to help set things up. Kothagudam can be a busy area but our street is usually okay. We don't use any big computers or fancy systems. We just write things down in a notebook when someone takes the materials. It is honest work and it keeps us moving all day. The rain sometimes slows things down because the ground gets soft and the plates are heavy to carry. We just wait for it to pass. Most of our neighbors are also doing small trades. We have lived here a long time and the shop is just part of our home life now. It is a simple way to make a living.
