Plasterboard suspension.A lot opf people on site today, electricians installing the consumer units in the rooms and the fans, and the ceiling men working in all the rooms at the same time. We had also started touching up the welds and scratches on the steel with red oxide, but gave up and started digging footings for the perimeter wall instead.
The materials for the ceiling come to almost exactly 100 baht per square metre.
The complete invoice details have been posted on the forum.jazzman

Ceiling fansCheap, 48", only 590 baht in GlobalHouse. This one is just spot welded to the beam. It will be taken down again and the tube will be cut to the correct length for suspension in the circular ceiling recess.. The hook will then be securely bolted to the beam and the welds repainted.jazzman

Day 26 RoofThe roof is almost finished with just a few small snags to tidy up. Remember that there are no drawings for this project and it's a question of make-it-up-as-you-go. It's also a training excercise for my workers. We still have a lot to do on the land including a frontage wall with gate and motel gatehouse at one end, and another gate with archway at the other end of the land, a large sala as a dining-room restaurant, a floating sala on the pond, and a meeting room/classroom on the field behind.jazzman

Day 27 Gable ends.While the roof was going on, all the wiring, switches and sockets have been installed. I am only counting the days actually worked. The foreman has bought a new car (I'm obviously paying him too much) so with that and a wedding in our family no work was done for over a week.
The soffit and the Conwood are leftovers from building the house. Tomorrow the ceiling team is coming to do the plasterboard ceilings (sheetrock) that will have circular recesses for the ceiling fans.jazzman

Garden?Americans say 'yard', we Poms say 'garden' - even if it looks like this.
I agree it's looking a bit of a mess at the moment, but when everything is finished I hope we'll have a beautiful garden like ThaiFly's.jazzman

Day 19The tiles arrived today. The last couple of days the workers have been adding the purlins, struts and battens to the rafters, and finishing the plumbing and drainage.
The 3" C-section rafters are spaced at 1m. The battens are spaced at 1m. Left over steel off-cuts are used for V-struts. The 1" x 1" x 6m battens cost 140 baht each.jazzman

Roof tileThese composite roof panels are 120 x 50, so it's two for 1 m2. The usual price in GlobalHouse or HomeMart / HomePro is 56 - 59 baht each. We ordered them through our favourite village store and paid 48 baht. The area to be covered by this roof is 140 m2, that's a saving of 2,500 baht. All these little savings add up.jazzman

Ridge TileSee how they go together in the next pic. they cost 50 baht each.jazzman

Interlocking Ridge Tiles- and they go together something like this. One has a small radius, and the overlapping one has a larger radius. It's quicker, easier, and cheaper than using capping tiles, although capping tiles would look nicer on a proper house.jazzman

First snagThis huge drainage ditch goes along the entire 40m frontage. The plan is to lay concrete drainage pipes and fill it in for parking space. The workers dropped one pipe getting it off the truck - 150 baht 'down the drain'.
Never mind, if that's all that goes wrong on this project, I'll be happy.jazzman

Day 15 rendered walls - rear viewOur solution for the bathroom windows can clearly be seen: two glass blocks at flanked on either side by a ventilated brick. The glass blocks were left over from the construction of the house, but they can be bought from 38 baht. The vented bricks cost 5.50 baht each.
There are no zoning regulations here. To maximise on our land, the rear wall is 1 metre from the land boundary.jazzman

RenderingThe rendering of all the interior and exterior walls is now complete. We used 35 bags of rendering cement (boon chap) and sand carefully sieved through blue plastic netting. This cement is sold in 40 Kg bags, not 50 Kg, at 100 baht each. We added plasticiser to the mix - a 100 baht can was enough.jazzman
