^ Mines made out of Makha Wood. You've got to drill it first before you nail it. It's got a hardness rating of more than twice that of teak. Can't get any any more, usually just second hand stuff. It's been sugested that I just dismantal my house sell the wood and should have enough to build a nice shiny new concrete one.....can't be arsed though

Makha wood

You remember how our land rises up the hillside behind the house .
Well it has plenty of Makha. There is a special mushroom that only grows under the Makha tree called "Hed Kha"
We have loads of those mushrooms every season.

If the makha tree is rare now then that explains why everyone gives me a blank look when I mention my favourite mushroom

^ yea should of said hard to get hold of . I think around here they are virtually wiped out. The Makha for ours apparently was localy felled, 3 brothers more or less started the village (one was my FiL), but they built 3 houses, all Makha as it was the best avalible. The house across the road has some planks over a meter wide, must of been an impressive tree

Well they seem to be rushing along at full speed now, some are putting down the floors and some are doing the woodwork for one of the main roofs, it's actually beginnig to look like a house now.

oh. alright then, but it does have all sorts of fancy bits, and panelling at the top

if they have used wooden posts, it is a pity they did not use proper fat tree trunks for the downstairs support

thai teak house
The pictures above and below were taken yesterday, the floor boards they are using for the open areas upstairs, this they are going to tile, only problem is there is a lot of flex in the boards and this could cause tiles to come loose, the room floors will be done in traditional teak wood.
This is taken from upstairs after climbing their rickety ladder made out of odds and ends pieces of wood.
This is the smallest room and will be the living room.



This one is going to be made into 2 bedrooms.



Doesn't look too bad does it.



The Bathroom is going to be on the ground floor.



I still have no idea for what this raised area will be used for.

Well they got the second roof up and done, all they got to do now is put the fancy trim round it.

Well it seems they have gone on strike again, but it is looking like a house now.



They were working on the ground floor filling in all the nail heads and the damaged bits of wood, assume they have run out of money yet again and are waiting for some more.
