washbasin.jpg
Very nice bathroom finishingClick the image for a full screen view. They must have broken a corner off the expensive black marble top and hastily repaired it like this.
An electric socket this close to the washbasin is TOTALLY inadmissible.

More neat finishingWhat the blanked-off hole was supposed to be is anyone's guess. And of course there should not be an unearthed 2-pin socket here. One wonders if there is even an earth wire in the 3-pin sockets. You can guess...1 commentsjazzman00000

26 Feb. 2009It's been a week now since they started working on the roof steel and now we finally can see a shape. This work is some of the most difficult I've seen on my place and the sun is not relenting at all. Very hot every day and the scaffold work can't be easypklongball00000

26 Feb 2009Another view of some of the steel work. I am surprised at how much cutting and fitting needs to be done. But these guys are up to it and from my perspective they are doing a great job.pklongball00000

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.

Roof_tiles.JPG
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.

Roof_panel.JPG
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.jazzman00000
