base_units_2.jpg
?ΒΈ?Base Unit DoorsWe couldn't find a local carpenter to make these with a reasonable finninsh so we had to by factory made ones from Global House. These were the cheapest decent ones and together cost 22,000 baht. (one is a unit with three drawers, the others are just cupboard fronts). The result is a compromise between what we originally wanted and what our Thai workers could achieve. Granito floor will be laid. The blue pipe sticking up is for the floor drain.

Granito.jpg
Laying Granito slabsThis is a tricky job and precision is a word Thai builders don't understand. Each slab has an arrow on the underside ensuring they are all laid in the same direction. They are butt laid (no spaces for grouting) and the large 60 x 60 slabs should each be checked with a spirit level when laying.

Bird_stop.jpg
'Nok' stopThese plastic strips fit under the tiles between the tiles and the eaves board (fascia). Stops birds getting into the roof and nesting. 60cm long, about 7 baht each. (packets of 10). Did YOU remember to install them? They come with profiles to match most tiles and corrugated tin. They also stop mice. Mice like to gnaw away at plasterboard (sheetrock)...

Damp_Course.jpg
Rolling out the damp courseBeing a Brit, Jazzman knows all about damp courses! 100 baht per roll from the local village hardware store. 3 rolls to cover the floor. Jazzman laid 2 cm of sand over it to prevent it being damaged by the concrete. The strips were overlaped and stuck with wide tape to prevent capillary action. The deep foundations for the columns were also lined with PVC sheet. Click an thumbnail to see an enlargement then click the clapperboard to start a slide show.jazzmanMar 04, 2007
