June 12Today a threesome showed up to sand and apply a first coat of lacquer to the cabinet interiors. I don't have to comment about the great way this guy is standing on the ladder. I would bet any one of us that has ever used a step ladder has done something similar.pklongball06/17/09 at 10:29Sparky: Well impressed a Thai workman using newpaper as ma...

More superb engineeriing.Click the image for a full screen view. A load-bearing concrete corner column. Notice how the whole weight of the corner of the roof rests on the too thin rebar of the columns that were made too short. The ring-beam is only a single c-section 4 x 4 steel girder; it should at least be a box section - better would bee two C-sections welded face-to-face. Viewed from the outside, the tiles lifting up a couple of milimetres at their bottom edges demonstrates that the roof is sagging already.jazzman04/04/09 at 12:55pklongball: I see this all over and on every build I have watc...

ChasingThe electricians started today chasing the walls for the electrical conduits. Although this is a low budget build, we're still using relatively good quality fittings, and concealed wiring. I've tried many times to teach the men to cut the channels with an angle grinder and just knock out the the stuff in the middle, but to no avail. Still using a hammer and a bent nail. Back home in France I have a special two-bladed power tool attachment for doing this.jazzman02/17/09 at 10:13geordie: hate to say this he is destroying an s d s drill b...

Day 5Had some unusual rain in Isaan for 2 days so the time was spent painting the rest of the steel in the shed, getting a truck load of dirt delivered, and bending more braces.
The ground beams are poured and the roof steel half finished. I still never fathomed out why they have to use a platform to load the mixer. Notice the plastic bags round my expensive steel scaffolding to protect it from cement (a lesson learned from previous jobs).jazzman02/07/09 at 16:02geordie: they will still get the tower
