17 viewsFinally, the road is what I would call fixed! One cardinal lesson for all who build houses is never skimp on fill dirt, one thing which can't be fixed is a house below street level. Note the level of the house on the left is about 60 cm. or more below street level. (12-Jun-04)dozer

15 viewsA current shot of the fixed road with the cool thai house at the end on the left. The dirt used is a dirt and small stone mix which is used mainly for roads. It gets real hard and will not turn to mud when water sits on it. One last thing which needs to eventually done with the road is to shape it as rounded, which can't be done as long as the aluminum fence is run along the far right side of the road. (18-Jun-04)dozer

13 viewsI wanted to contrast the previous road to what everyone would really like to see. This land is subdivided and a concrete entry road has been poured to a 20 centimeter depth. There is also associated drainage and the electric is already setup, all prior to any building started. Now, the downside. This land, which is in the same area as the cool thai house plot, is 2 1/2 times more expensive, and the minimum lot size is 1 rai (at 2.5 million Baht)! So, you can find perfection but you must pay the price! (29-Jul-04)dozer

12 viewsAnother shot of the entry road. It was made with the wrong kind of dirt and is now a muddy mess. The cool thai house is the last one on the left.dozer

9 viewsThe entry road has been getting bad for quite some time now until it is like this! Passing is now impossible except with a 4 wheel drive. (22-May-04)dozer
