21 March 2009This may seem like an odd view of the roof but what I am trying to show is the wood fascia boards the builder uses on the eaves. We are not using the typical plastic curved pieces under the first layer of tile. The men custom cut this wood to form an almost perfect fit to the underside of the tile to keep the critters and birds out.pklongballMar 21, 2009

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.jazzmanMar 20, 2009

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.jazzmanMar 20, 2009

220 V and co-ax TV sockets.Most TVs and audio surround systems have 2-pin plugs,so these sockets a re ok for equipment that does not need earthing.jazzmanMar 20, 2009

Used in the motel.Light switch and fan controller.
Fan controllers are supplied with the fans.
The trick here is to use one conduit under the rendering for both the light switch and the control box.jazzmanMar 20, 2009

Socket used in the motel.This brand is cheaper than the bTicino?® I used in the house. But it is still not the cheapest.
Not the cling film to protect them from scratches and paint.
The escutcheons will be removed for painting the walls. Most workers don't think to do this and get paint everywhere.d.jazzmanMar 20, 2009
