Digging shit pipes is fcuking hard work
As an afterthought to my threads on building my City/Country Resorts, I'd like to comment that after I lost all faith in my Thai workmen to install waste pipes that actually sloped in the correct direction to enable efficient disposal of customer turds, my brother in law and I undertook to dig and install these ourselves.
(I worked on the principle that 'Farang' can legally do work that a Thai cannot do, and it was painfully obvious that installing sloping waste pipes was way beyond the skills of the average Thai workman).
Did I say that this was fucking hard work?? When you have a row of guest-rooms, the principle is that each toilet waste pipe connects to the main soil pipe, but with a gentle slope so as to encourage speedy evacuation of the turds/condoms etc into the septic tank.
This means that by the time you reach the guest-room nearest to that tank, you have to excavate a trench for the waste pipe that is about 5,000 metres in depth,.
Try doing that with some pathetic Thai shovel, a beer gut, 38 degrees of blazing sun and an age of 52 years...
I actually shed 4 kilos in weight doing this manual labour, and I now look like a .. er ... 51 year old.
Anyway, this superfit farang 'gorsan' will hire himself out for shit pipe installation at the attractive rate of 4 large Leos per day.
BTW, did I say that digging pipe trenches was fcuking hard work?? Cos it was...
For some light relief, here are a couple of photos of an enthusiastic worker on my project, who also happens to be my wife :)
