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. jazzman

Bathroom wall tiles.Been trying for several days to get cheap tiles, but the prices seem to have gone up considerably since I built my house. I really wanted white, but I was not prepared to pay 160 baht / m2 or more for the cheapest plain white tiles I could find. I was able to negotiate 123 baht / m2 for 54 m2 of these very light green ones.
It is not necessary to render the walls first.jazzman

Green House MotelThis is the only sketch that was made. No plans or blueprints were produced. It probably won't look anything like this when it's finished. basically, the foreman was given the dimensions and a floor plan and left alone to figure it out. What he's not sure about , he comes and asks.jazzman

BeforeA clear view of the double C-section ridge beam. Needless to say, all the welds are retouched with red oxide before anything is irreversibly clad or ceilings are closed off.
Our land is L-shaped; today I started negotiating the purchase of the 1/3 rai (about 133 sq. wa, 155 m2) bit in the angle of the L. What a headache - he started off with a price higher than a plot in Pattaya!jazzman

Consumer unitsEach room has its own mini consumer unit with a 32A 2-pole main breaker, a 10A and a 20A MCB. The units cost 500 baht each, fully equipped.
Doing it like this will ensure that if a guest overloads a circuit in the room, only the room breaker(s) will trip and not leave all the rooms in the dark.
The entire building will have a larger consumer unit with an RCCB - of course.
For more details of this and other consumer units, see the Electrical Fittings album.jazzman

AfterForeman's own initiative, and I must say, it looks quite neat. I would personally have mitered the fascia boards, but one can't expect everything, and this is a budget build after all.
I finally got the price of the plot of land down to one sixth of the Pattaya price. I still think I paid a bit over the odds, but it's really worth it to have a perfectly rectangular piece of land, and to avoid anyone building near my house.
