The Journey Has BegunWe went to the land yesterday and it looked like they were preparing for a primitive moon launch. The house will sit on 11 pilings because the ground in central Thailand is like a swamp where a regular foundation would sink.newhomepages

In the BeginingThis is how the land looked when we bought it in January of 2011. It's a little over 200 square wa in a development of empty land plots near Safari World. It included this little one room house with a tiny bathroom, an address, electric and water already installed by the previous owner. Only one other plot was built on when we arrived, but it had been developed and quickly sold out a couple of years before.newhomepages

Our piece of heavenOur piece of land, a expensive piece of heaven in any Thai's eyes I would think but we had looked around at a lot and decided that this was situated in the right place, i.e. on the main road in and out of the village and almost opposite the monastery. If all else fails I will not have far to go should I decide to become a monk.paulm

Lot Layout N-upOur 1/2 rai. Right-side-up (until I figure out how to delete the upside-down one). 17-18m by 40-47m. An early plan. The house was roughly centered N-S later, making front, side and back garden areas. Colorado

BrixmixThe mix of cement and fine aggregate is made in this thing which looks like a commercial baker's dough mixer. These 39 x 19 x 7 concrete blocks, erroneously called breezeblocks or cinderblocks, are the most commonly used, most economical and practical solution for non load-bearing walls, and have excellent insulating properties. Almost every village in the country has a brickworks, our village has two. Here's ours just 600 m from our house. The price of a brick in 2009 was still only 3.50 baht, including free delivery of course.jazzman

Carts of soilIt is amazing how little 10 carts of soil really is. I thought that would be enough but when you stand back and look, it is just a small amount, so I guess there will be quite a few more carts to be delivered before the house starts to take shape.paulm
