Ok , it took some time to upload the first pictures .
A small wooden house is being build as our first place to stay. Later we will use it as guesthouse or rent it out.
I found a few wooden houses on the net and we got a model drawn according to our ideas:
Clay tiles
Double wooden wall upstairs
1 Bathrooms upstairs
kitchen and bathroom on the ground floor

Overall size : 9m X 5m

**wernerfreitag** · 04-09-2009, 08:20 PM

Next step was getting the wooden parts from 2 old thai houses:

**Loombucket** · 04-09-2009, 08:37 PM

Nice one, now keep it going.

**wernerfreitag** · 04-09-2009, 10:06 PM

Wooden posts getting in place

**Nawty** · 05-09-2009, 11:03 AM

Nice looking material....what wood is it ??

**withnallstoke** · 05-09-2009, 11:15 AM

Is it still a northern custom to bury people in the foundations?

**DrAndy** · 05-09-2009, 04:03 PM

Nawty, I do not know what the posts are made of. The walls etc. should be teak. I was used in 2 other houses before. Should be good enough because it is still ok. I can ask our builder. Werner

If you're using FireFox the text is white on white so obviously you can't see what you're uploading but it is there...just continue and you're pics will get uploaded...

DD: when are you gonna get a decent upload pics system for TD??

**wernerfreitag** · 07-09-2009, 03:59 AM

Hello everyone ,

Uploading is ok again, don't know what happened.
Some pictures of the wooden frame of the house:

**wernerfreitag** · 07-09-2009, 04:23 AM

Hi,
Yes , the house is in ChiangDao.
The roof is ready for the clay tiles:

The tiles are in place:

Kitchen and bathroom on the first floor:

**Marmite the Dog** · 07-09-2009, 09:51 AM

Nice roof. This clay tiles are quite lovely. Did you use any insulation?

**mooncake** · 07-09-2009, 10:00 AM

^^
Did you have any waterproof membrance of some sort...before putting on those roof tiles?
hmm.....don't see it.. Not afraid of cracking and leaking rainwater?

**DrAndy** · 07-09-2009, 03:21 PM

I have those tiles on our staircase, and rice barn

the need to be double laid to be sure of weatherproofing, as they tend to crack easily

nice posts Werner

Chaing Dao is nice; we nearly bought a fantastic wooden house there, for dismantling and transportation to CM, but it was too dangerous

**Nawty** · 08-09-2009, 08:42 AM

why to dangerous ??
