Building in Korat

First of all, please bear over with me for misspelling or insufficient English since this is not my native languages. My Norwegian is pretty good but you would not understand much, I guess.
The house is to be built in my wife’s village in Korat called Moo Baan Ban Na in Ampeur Ban Luam. My wife has own this lot for ages. She had a wall put up and filled the premises with truckloads of dirt to elevate the land.

The lot is half a rai or 800 sq m. An architect in Korat made the drawings. After consulting the local fortune teller they agreed that the 21 of July would be a nice day to start building. The last few weeks preparation and foundation work have been carried out. A local company is doing the construction. (I don’t have the name yet)

The contact is of 2, 6 million Bath and that is without a wall around the house. We will have a wall and will ask the builder in due time.


How do I insert an image from my computer here?

Then I go back and load up some more to the gallery. It’s working but very time-consuming since I first have to make a new smaller file for TD.

Stating of piling

The piling started 13.07.08 or July 13 if you like and it took only 1,5 days to hammer down 80 piles. They are 6 meter long and are the base plate for the columns that carries the house.









A pile

Foundation work

The piles are driven 1,5 meter into the ground.





It was really hard work to excavate the wells for the columns. The ground is hard as concrete since it has been curing for years. It was 5 days hard labor for 8 people to dig out. 8 hours a day for 5 days is in that heat is fatigues.

don't worry Panthip, your English is probably better than many of the native English speakers here!
