Building the Monolith Gate and Fence
With my son being born 7 months ago, it is time to build a gate and fence at the front of the lot to contain him when he starts walking. The title Monolith Gate has meaning to me which will become evident as I start adding pictures. I had no idea of what it would cost and was surprised once it was completed and I hope the information helps others who might be thinking about doing the same.
The house we stay in now is located in an Isaan village that was owned by my wife's parents who are now both deceased leaving three siblings and myself to inhabit the house. Initially it was just a typical stilted Isaan house with the first level being a dirt floored eating and gathering area. Over the past 5 years we have enclosed the first floor and built two insuites with western toilets and showers. Added a large carport and concrete drive. It is very comfortable now and is a good place to live until we build our own house starting the end of this year, which will be another thread. In the mean time, a gate and fence were needed for security and containing the little one. I researched some TD threads and decided on a steel gate with JJ's idea of using a hedge to incorporate the wall. I will start the process of adding some pics, which I have never done before, so it may take me a little time to figure it out. Hope everyone enjoys what my experience was and I will include total costs.
