HingesSold in pack of four. Not the very cheapest but far from luxury, these cost 199 baht per pack at HomePro.
We install three per door.jazzman

DoorsQuite heavy and sturdy, these exterior doors are made of strong, hot pressed fibre-board to give the panel shapes. 550 baht each from HomePro. Cheap and easy to replace if they get kicked in - worth thinking about if you are building a motel or bungalows. The wooden frames (not shown) were bought at GlobalHouse, 590 baht each, made of Mai Deng.jazzman

Window winderWinder for louvre type windows. Nothing like the heavy duty quality die-cast used on our kitchen window. These cost 35 baht each from the local hardware store; better ones can cost 80 - 150 baht.jazzman

Day 7Most of the walls are built, except the font ones that will have the doors and windows. Still some steel to be put in the roof. The workers chop and change what they are doing, but I let them get on with it. I can watch everything from my office window only 20m away.jazzman

Day 8More progress on the walls. The 7 cm thick concrete floors have been laid in three of the rooms and the pits for the septic tanks have been dug. Wire mesh reinforcing was laid in the concrete.jazzman

Window framesWooden (Mai Deng) window frames for louvre type windows. 1 x 1.2 m. 700 baht each from local village hardware store. There were some cheaper ones but I decided to go for the better wood with a better finish - I worry about wood warping in the rainy season. These will be sanded, primed, and painted off-white to match the doors and door frames.jazzman

Louvre mechanismThese cost 145 per pair complete with aluminium strips (not shown) for the interior of the window frames. Again, not comparable with the heavy duty mechanisms on the aluminium kitchen window. The louvres will be of plain 4 mm glass with non-ground edges.jazzman

Small 50W dichroticI thought this would be a good idea for the lighting round the house in the soffit, but with 20 of them at 50W each that's too much to leave on all night. We used the 220V ones.The 12V versions one have the added expense and 50X is still 50W. We're going to change them for 5W energy saver bulbs in small recessed fittings. We're keeping the ones in the bathrooms.jazzman

Weatherproof switchesbTicino weatherproof recessed switches. Excellent for switches or opwer in garden wall etc. The lid flips up but the switches can be pressed though the transparent cover. This 3-module unit can be equipped with switches and/or power sockets. Cost around 300 baht. bTicino also make a surface mounted one.jazzman

Day 6 - The first walls .One lady mixing and passing up the bricks, one man bricking: Just 3 hours work for this much The others are preparing the 4" WC pipes and grey water pipes that will be under the floors - with five bathrooms, this is a bit more work than for the average house. Foreman thinks we'll have everything finished in 4 weeks. we'll see. We've been working together for three years now, and he and his family have almost become part of our family - grainjai permitting :)jazzman
