brick formwork for ground beamsInstead of using expensive wooden shuttering, the formwork for the beams is built at ground level with the Thai 'cinder' blocks. These are extremely cheap, and they stay in place afterwards thus adding even more strength.

grease trap finished'Grey water' - that's the stuff from kitchen sinks, washbasins, washing machines and showers - generally doesn't contain contain solids that need to be bacterially decomposed, and is already largely disinfected by the additives in soaps and detergents. These detergents float on water and can be separated in a grease trap before the water is led away to leach. Keeping the grey water separate from sewage also helps prevent the bacteriological process in the septic tank from getting over-diluted. jazzman

Tuscan PillarsThe drain pipes were carefully lifted and let down over the rebar and filled with concrete. If you wanted to save a lot of time and money and did't mind having round columns everywhere instead of square section ones, you could make them all this way. It would be a very strong construction, and give rise to some interesting comments about your architecture. We will be building our hexagonal sala (gazeebo) this way

Living RoomSeen from the kitchen. For a small house, the living room is deceptively spacious. The whole floor space is usable, no wasted nooks and crannies - a result of cunning interior design.jazzman

'Nok' stopThese plastic strips fit under the tiles between the tiles and the eaves board (fascia). Stops birds getting into the roof and nesting. 60cm long, about 7 baht each. (packets of 10). Did YOU remember to install them? They come with profiles to match most tiles and corrugated tin. They also stop mice. Mice like to gnaw away at plasterboard (sheetrock)...

Air VentAir from the plumbing appliances, such as toilet, sink, floor drains, urinal are properly vented up through the wall and out of the ceiling. This is rather rare in Thai construction but is a standard in other countries. The symptom of improperly vented appliances is that they do not flow properly, the vents allow air into the system so no vacuum is formed, allowing a proper flow.dozer

This shows the relative size of the large cinderblocks along with the crushed stone aggregate that will be used in concrete within every other hole of the blocks. The walls thus created will be load bearing walls, every other hole will be filled with 12mm metal rebar and concrete to make the embedded support columns.

Frame SpacerThe use of a spacer with metal tie to keep the metal frame off the surface. The spacer is used to keep the rebar metal frame in the middle of the anticipated concrete pour.
