bTicino 3 module unitThis is the bTicino 3 module unit (without its escutcheon). Notice how it is not important in Thailand to have things nice and level. The modules in this unit are (from L to R) minature dimmer 480 baht each. Empty hole because this unit will receive a 2-hole escutcheon. 2-pin + earth version of the many different kinds of sockets used in Thailand, cost 42 baht
The unit with its escutcheon costs 17 baht and includes the screws.jazzman

Legrand connectorsThai electricians generally twist wires together and cover the joins with insulating tape. More modern methods would be chocolate strip or caps which are squashed with a crimping tool. These Legrand connectors are a push fit and neither require a screwdriver nor a pair of crimping pliers. There are now also similar brands on the market. Print this photo and take it to your electrical store.jazzman

Foundation of a column.The hollow core is filled with concrete at the same time as the footings are filled ensuring a contiguous pour of the entire matrix of footings and their foundations. The floor of the hole was lined with PVC damp course and the walls of the hole will be lined too. Another solution to keep the damp out of the foundations is to paint the masonry with bitumen.

EinweihungThe house was blessed: everyone paraded round the house three times, holy water was splashed amply around then everyone into the house to deposit gifts on the bed in the master bedroom. Candles were lit and holy string tied round our wrists. More mumbo jumbo, and we moved in and spent our first night there.jazzman

Pool Salt-water Chlorinator[pic before installation] The electrolytic unit sends information to the control unit on chlorine level and pool water salt level, and the control unit switches the electrolytic cell on and off, including pumping cycles and self cleaning cycles. By-products of the electrolysis include algicide.
The system enables a minimum of intervention by the pool owner.jazzman

DISASTERS !!!These are some of the things that W I L L happen if you go away and let the builders get on with it under the expert supervision of your Thai partner, your inlaws, or just with no supervision at all. People with pots of money can just laugh these things off. In the worst case sceneario, the cost of putting it right may be more than what is in your retirement fund .jazzman

CuringCement mix or concrete mix does not dry - it cures and the process must not be accelerated. These racks just allow any excess water to evaporate slowly, and to prevent the bricks damaging each other.
To build a wall, allowing for mortar, 13.5 bricks are needed for 1 square metre. The method is much stronger, cheaper, far more insulating, and much less labour intensive than using the small traditional red clay bricks still favoured by some constructors.jazzman

Local tradition.BEFORE you start, please remember that all prices cited in this story are now nearly FIVE years old. Click thumbnail to see an enlargement then click the tiny clapperboard if you want to start a slide show (but without the comments). 15 November 2006: After the foundation holes had been dug and the reinforcing wire cemented , the whole family and the village turns out for a ceremony with the monks. Some mumbojumbo takes place and well wishers throw flowers and coins into the foundations.1 commentsjazzman

Bathroom plumbing.??n absolute minimum of plumbing goes under the floors. In the side-by-side bathrooms it was kept as close to the outside walls as possible. In the UK, plumbing like this is often on the outside wall - a headache for those cold British winters - where it can be recognised by its swathes of lagging - strips of sacking!
Prepared and installed correctly, PVC piping is perfectly adequate. A lot of it is used in Europe.
For hot water piping see http://www.siamgpi.com/solarpower/multipipe.htmljazzman

Back filling the floor spaces.The floor spaces between the runs of ground beams were filled in using the leftover earth from the footings and some of the earth that came out of the hole for the swimming pool.jazzman
