My final view of the house before having to return to the UK. Actually I am very pleased with the progress that has been made over the past 13 weeks - but don't tell the builder I said that.Thaifu TMar 11, 2007

How NOT to hang a door - these hinges stand out from the door by at least half an inch, I will not repeat my comments to the builder.Thaifu TMar 11, 2007

Example of Thai brick work. Bricks tied to columns by means of drilling into concrete and inserting steel rods. Note the horizontal 'beam' on the other side of the scaffolding, this is re-infirced and adds strength.Thaifu T

Some fancy stomework being added to the columns on the patio.Thaifu T

A more general view of the patio. Also adding concrete surrounds to all windows. The patio ceiling used a different gypsum board, one that does not disintegrate in the rain (I hope).Thaifu T

Pouring the first floor; now back to the tried and trusted method - handballing. Steel work for the upper columns alreaedy started.Thaifu T

Working on finishing the roof. The walls are getting their first coat of paint. The earth in the foreground has just been delivered, will be used for making the garden (this is a bit early but it is currently 'earth moving season' in KK; everyone in the village seems to be doing it now in preparation for the rain to start)Thaifu T

Tiles are delivered. Metal battens are to the right of the tiles. Note the cockerel in the cage. For those unfamiliar with this neck of the woods (sorry) 'Chicken Boxing, as my g/f calls it (aka Cock Fighting) is very popular in Thailand - it's even televised. Before you report me to the RSPCA, the birds do not have spurs attached and to the best of my knowledge do not get killed. I later demanded they were taken from site.Thaifu T
