26 Feb. 2009A view of the back of the place and now a shape is apparent.pklongballFeb 26, 2009

26 Feb 2009Here we have a look from in one of the rooms showing one of the "steel workers"pklongballFeb 26, 2009

26 Feb 2009Another view of some of the steel work. I am surprised at how much cutting and fitting needs to be done. But these guys are up to it and from my perspective they are doing a great job.pklongballFeb 26, 2009

Blueprint - Budget: 560,000 bahtClick the pic for a full screen image.
Own design. Quality construction. Contractors' quotes: 1.0 to 1.3 million baht. My DIY: 560,000 baht (materials & labour 2006). This floor plan was later vastly improved at no extra cost to the construction; and we opted for some slightly more expensive extras, taking us about 100,000 over the original budget. jazzmanFeb 25, 2009

Location, location, location...Click the pic to see a full-screen image.
Living in a small village has its charms - and advantages. With a bit of 'influence' we were able to get the new village portal built right next to our land. The entrance to the house is on the left just by the blue village name board. jazzmanFeb 25, 2009

Garden?Americans say 'yard', we Poms say 'garden' - even if it looks like this.
I agree it's looking a bit of a mess at the moment, but when everything is finished I hope we'll have a beautiful garden like ThaiFly's.jazzmanFeb 25, 2009

Day 19The tiles arrived today. The last couple of days the workers have been adding the purlins, struts and battens to the rafters, and finishing the plumbing and drainage.
The 3" C-section rafters are spaced at 1m. The battens are spaced at 1m. Left over steel off-cuts are used for V-struts. The 1" x 1" x 6m battens cost 140 baht each.jazzmanFeb 25, 2009

Roof tileThese composite roof panels are 120 x 50, so it's two for 1 m2. The usual price in GlobalHouse or HomeMart / HomePro is 56 - 59 baht each. We ordered them through our favourite village store and paid 48 baht. The area to be covered by this roof is 140 m2, that's a saving of 2,500 baht. All these little savings add up.jazzmanFeb 25, 2009

Ridge TileSee how they go together in the next pic. they cost 50 baht each.jazzmanFeb 25, 2009

Interlocking Ridge Tiles- and they go together something like this. One has a small radius, and the overlapping one has a larger radius. It's quicker, easier, and cheaper than using capping tiles, although capping tiles would look nicer on a proper house.jazzmanFeb 25, 2009

First snagThis huge drainage ditch goes along the entire 40m frontage. The plan is to lay concrete drainage pipes and fill it in for parking space. The workers dropped one pipe getting it off the truck - 150 baht 'down the drain'.
Never mind, if that's all that goes wrong on this project, I'll be happy.jazzmanFeb 25, 2009
