Certain things we all thought to do, but suppressed out fear or of law of the land. Yes, Mr.Mamchand of Haryana lifted a house (G+1) BY FOUR FEET near Velachery, Chennai. He deployed 108 screw jacks by synchronized rotation four inch in each time. Over two decades, everywhere the road level raised three to five feet, thereby ground floor of old houses are below the road level. To escape sewage & seepage, it is really a big boon for old house owners to raise their building without demolishing fully. Mr.Mamchand says his life's ambition is to straighten the leaning tower of Pisa. Will any Government approve such works? http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/House-high-jacked-in-Gurgaon/articleshow/3561162.cms
