Well.....now 5 months into it and we have a dead vege patch and 1 missing survivor.

Rains starting everyday, river rising, plantation hut leaking.

We have a nice new shed built....10x5m plus plus.

I have located thailands best welder....pics to follow...I can watch him work all day long.

Employed a gun team of builders....7 in all...to finish it in 7 days.

RAG construction company was the name if anyone wants to use them.

I wanted a rustic shed....no problem there, they excelled in creating 'rustic'.

Cost was around 70k baht plus labour.

For that I got a 10m x 5m shed, with a 1.5m overhang on 2 sides and a 5m overhang on the other side. A 3x2m lockup room and a 2x2x2m concrete water tank and a 5x3m hay shed.....pics to follow another day soon.


STAGE II.....

The Bungalow Games begin.

Starting a 5x5m bungalow with a new york style loft end of June, collecting bags of rocks in chicken shit fertiliser bags already from the river while the workers can still stand up against the current.

Bought several old teak doors and windows to be restored and 4 6m ceiling beams each 6 inch square for 3k baht each.

Nightmare on Khaoyai St begins in earnest....note to self...buy axe.

found some sheep also....content now.
