Aligning the formwork for the columns.Click thumbnail to see an enlargement then click the clapperboard to start a slide show. The formwork was aligned to be perfectly vertical. Millimeter accuracy was achieved using a combination of traditional Thai methodology with fishing line and a spirit level, and a modern tripod mounted laser level.jazzman

Compacting the back fill.Once the floor areas between the footings had been filled with the leftover earth from the foundations, it was compacted every 10 cm. This is essential, as this will be a support for the concrete floor until it has fully cured, a process which will take a t least 28 days.
Thai builders don't think about doing this, and these had never used one before. This one costs about 25,000 baht to buy, but you can rent one for the duration of your construction for about 500 B.

concrete formwork office windowThe full width bay windows of the office and the master bedroom are based on five sides of an octagon. We wanted the corner pillars between the windows to be as narrow as possible, but allowing the wall to be an additional support for the relatively heavy tiled octagonal roof above.

roof tile battensThese galvanised steel W-section battens will take special self-tapping 'Profast' screws straight through from the tiles. Other 'Profast' self-tapping screws are used to screw them to the rafters. They can tap into the 3.3 mild steel obviating any predrilling. These battens have the huge advantage that laying the tiles is a one-man operation. Thais usually anchor their tiles by passing copper wire through the screw hole with a man underneath to do the tying.jazzman

Kitchen view 1We keep adding bits to this kitchen and it's still not complete. A breakfast bar still has to be built from the left hand side near the fridge to halfway across the archway. And the fridge will be replaced with a side-by-side. Cost: there is about 65,000 baht's worth of KITZCHO?® units. The solid granite counter tops cost about 18,000 baht including installation. jazzman

wall 5Then it fell over. One night of rain was enough. This wall will be rebuilt using correct engineering and correct drainage. Another 40 trucks of dirt will be needed to top up the infill that was washed away. Probable total cost: around 250,000 baht.jazzman

wall 4Wet dirt is a viscous mass far heavier even than the water in a swimming pool, and exerts even more pressure on the surrounding walls.
A rogue bnuilder charged about 180,000 baht for this wall.1 commentsjazzman

wall 3If a perimeter wall is to be used for retaining fill dirt, it needs some careful consideration. This wall is (was) 100 x 20 for 1 metre of in-fill.
Think about the 20 cm thick, steel reinforced walls of your tiny 4 x 8 swimming pool...
