Green House Motel

Plasterboard suspension.A lot opf people on site today, electricians installing the consumer units in the rooms and the fans, and the ceiling men working in all the rooms at the same time. We had also started touching up the welds and scratches on the steel with red oxide, but gave up and started digging footings for the perimeter wall instead.
The materials for the ceiling come to almost exactly 100 baht per square metre.
The complete invoice details have been posted on the forum.jazzman

Ceiling suspension: clpisThe rails cost 25 baht per 4 m length. One is installed vertically, the other horizontally. The metal clips that hold them together cost 1.20 each.jazzman

ceiling: suspension: railsA view of the rails partially installed. Some of the electrics still have to be completed.jazzman

Ceiling fansCheap, 48", only 590 baht in GlobalHouse. This one is just spot welded to the beam. It will be taken down again and the tube will be cut to the correct length for suspension in the circular ceiling recess.. The hook will then be securely bolted to the beam and the welds repainted.jazzman

Wall sockets.For more on the motel electrics, see the Electrical Fittings album.jazzman

Consumer unitsEach room has its own mini consumer unit with a 32A 2-pole main breaker, a 10A and a 20A MCB. The units cost 500 baht each, fully equipped.
Doing it like this will ensure that if a guest overloads a circuit in the room, only the room breaker(s) will trip and not leave all the rooms in the dark.
The entire building will have a larger consumer unit with an RCCB - of course.
For more details of this and other consumer units, see the Electrical Fittings album.jazzman

Bathroom wall tiles.Been trying for several days to get cheap tiles, but the prices seem to have gone up considerably since I built my house. I really wanted white, but I was not prepared to pay 160 baht / m2 or more for the cheapest plain white tiles I could find. I was able to negotiate 123 baht / m2 for 54 m2 of these very light green ones.
It is not necessary to render the walls first.jazzman
