My final view of the house before having to return to the UK. Actually I am very pleased with the progress that has been made over the past 13 weeks - but don't tell the builder I said that.Thaifu T00000

so they tiled the roof...We thought we could catch up on a long overdue trip to Nakhon Pathom, Bangkok and Jomtien while they tiled the roof. Mail me, PM me, or simply post in the forum if you can spot the TERRIBLE MISTAKE they made while we were away. This was the only problem during the entire project. It was easily rectified, but it proves that expert supervision is needed all the time.jazzman00000

Protecting the concrete.In the tropics it is indispensable to prevent large pours of concrete from drying out before it cures. We covered the freshly poured ground beams with rice sacks which we drenched with water and kept damp for a week.

formworkFormwork for the 18 colums. It had cost us roughly 1,000 baht in wood per column. But wood for a house like this would normally be about 30,000 baht, a major consideration in a low budget project. This picture resembles some kind of mediaeval battle engine.
