Hi There chaps and ladies,
It seems like we are going to be going ahead with the purchase of a 100 year old Teak and Pa DU wood mixed house build.
The wife has had a dream for a long time and it seems i put my foot in it and showed her the exact house she wants to live in whilst scouting on the internet!
The house is 50 Tarang wa (200sqm) though i dont know its exact length and width, its 2 storeys high and a unique traditional Lanna style. Low lying Dutch hip roof style, Hand sewn poles about 30+ in total and all very old and hard.
The wife is going to view in a week with an expert and check out the whole deal to see if the price is right.
In the meantime the madness of having to sort out flights and planning the build and work, I need some sensible answers to questions?
We need to get a concrete slab laid for the ground storey, with large floor tiles to cover and drainage round the edge.
At the moment i have no specific measurements, and realise its a bit premature, what thickness would i be looking at?
what would be the cost of a slab 200 sqm?
IS there a problem laying a slab in the rainy season?
What is the best way to run water pipes etc or is this not possible?
Thats it for now, and pictures will follow very soon..... i promise!
cheers
