This muppet thinks it just fine and you and the rest of the TD gang seemed quite content at your last visit. Still here, don't make yourself so scarce. Come say hi.

No worries the little lad is quite enjoying it.

I would like to know which way the wind blows.....for toilet placement......JJ wants a cheap build, he will get a thunderbox me thinks.

mooncake · 24-07-2009, 01:10 PM

Need the orientation of that land, JJ?
What is the direction of exposure, exp on the mths view side?
...east, west, south, or north?

Just need to know how deep should I design for the covered porch, esp at the mths view side.

ps:
Nawty: I just assume it comes from SW direction, since Thailand is in the northern hemisphere,...unless JJ tells us differently.

Changes depending on monsoon season.

but you still have to have the main prevailing wind direction.

The airport is running north-south for a reason.

Norton · 24-07-2009, 01:28 PM

I believe you will find the wind comes from the WSW as you note during the wet (monsoon) season and reverses in the dry season.

Guess the toilet can be placed just about anywhere if it is properly ventilated.

Humbert · 24-07-2009, 01:58 PM

Just curious Mooncake, are you a professional designer or just having a go for fun?

Because they are precluded from this competition.
But if Splitlid wants to waive that rule it's up to him. I would enter the
fray and maybe some others would too.

splitlid · 24-07-2009, 02:53 PM

done Humbert, thanks for your interest. design away mate.

Norton · 24-07-2009, 03:11 PM

As far as I'm concerned should be like an open tournament in golf. Both pros and armatures compete on an even par.

So far the only rule that needs to apply is no more than 10 million baht. Would expect we will get a range of prices which will only allow folks consideration of the "best" based on their budgets.

Obviously 10m baht will be be nicer but doesn't mean they are the "best" for a particular individual.

Norton · 24-07-2009, 04:01 PM

If there must be some way of leveling, suggest we have a best in price range.

1 - 2m, 3- 5m, 6-8m, 8 - 10m. Doubt we will get more than 5 or 6 entries so everyone could be a winner.
