Day 1. Setting up434 viewsThe first day was spent setting up the shed, the site electrics and lighting, organising the tools, the cement mixer, and the portable scaffolding, clearing the plot and marking out with pegs and orange string. We bought the cement mixer a couple of years ago second-hand for 5,000 baht. In it, we use the spare 3 Kw motor from the rice-mill. It's reasonably transportable on the back of a pick-up.jazzman
