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

Local tradition.BEFORE you start, please remember that all prices cited in this story are now nearly FIVE years old. Click thumbnail to see an enlargement then click the tiny clapperboard if you want to start a slide show (but without the comments). 15 November 2006: After the foundation holes had been dug and the reinforcing wire cemented , the whole family and the village turns out for a ceremony with the monks. Some mumbojumbo takes place and well wishers throw flowers and coins into the foundations.jazzman10/04/07 at 05:41paulm: Amazingly beautiful
