Box Beams17 Feb 2009 They started the day measuring the "C" channel and cutting to length and welding pieces together to get the correct lengths and then sandwiched two pieces together to make a bx beam. Each length will span several columns to form the support for the rest of the roof structure.pklongball00000

Bathroom floorThe bathroom floors will be concreted later. They are 5 cm lower than the room floors and have a 1:100 slope to the floor drain. The bathroom area looks small in the photo but it is really quite adequate at 1.4 x 2 m for a hotel room. I once rented an expensive condo in Bangkok with a smaller bathroom.jazzman00000

ChasingThe electricians started today chasing the walls for the electrical conduits. Although this is a low budget build, we're still using relatively good quality fittings, and concealed wiring. I've tried many times to teach the men to cut the channels with an angle grinder and just knock out the the stuff in the middle, but to no avail. Still using a hammer and a bent nail. Back home in France I have a special two-bladed power tool attachment for doing this.1 commentsjazzman00000
