Footing Hole495 viewsA footing hole with metal frame work. Each hole was 1 meter square by about 40 cm. deep. In this design there are only two foundation columns in the patio. Throughout the rest of the house there are footing and then a ground beam on top of the footings. The walls are load bearing with columns inside the wall material itself.

Window frames480 viewsWooden (Mai Deng) window frames for louvre type windows. 1 x 1.2 m. 700 baht each from local village hardware store. There were some cheaper ones but I decided to go for the better wood with a better finish - I worry about wood warping in the rainy season. These will be sanded, primed, and painted off-white to match the doors and door frames.jazzman
