I had a problem with that when they dug the base for my driveway. Unfortunately I wasn't there at the time so when I got how there where filthy great sods of turf lined all the way around my fence line

Started raining last night here in Korat and has continued to drizzle all day and looks to continue. Unfortunately, that puts an end to the pond work for now. I don't mind digging, but I won't dig in the mud.

Ms. B's off tomorrow. Maybe I can persuade her how much we need a wheelbarrow.

Updates when work continues.

Good stuff bh i thoroughly enjoy your threads!

buad hai · 06-08-2007, 07:50 PM

^Thanks bloke.

Just got back from the house and it's almost as if it never rained there. No mud. So, if I can convince Ms. B to buy some cement, gravel and sand tomorrow I'll be pouring the perimeter beam this week.

Would love to have a pond myself, but unfortunately owning a Thai 'Bangkaew' dog, rather puts the mockers on it.

Bloody heck Iom! You must have posted that whilst I was typing. Now I suppose that we will have to share that case of Chang that BH was hopefully going to give as a prize for getting the correct answer.

Another subtle way of reminding us your wife is chinese.

I've been waiting for the pond to go in. Time to crack a beer and enjoy the read.

Staking out the liner or eating loads of noodle soup.

Thetyim · 07-08-2007, 06:53 PM

^^^^ Are they the fortune telling sticks that you shake in the temple ?

a. boozer · 07-08-2007, 06:59 PM

The rungs for the escape ladder you are constructing for your tiny Lao pond digger to escape from the murky depths of that 60 metre hole?

gos · 07-08-2007, 07:42 PM

dunno but I hope those tiles are not in your new house the edges look a bit rough

AntRobertson · 07-08-2007, 08:46 PM

You're all idiots! Those are clearly the quills off of a porcupine or my name's not Bob!

Propagator · 07-08-2007, 09:18 PM

Nah - you're all wrong, they are the poles and cross sections for Thai scaffolding

buad hai · 07-08-2007, 10:19 PM
