well, after several requests and threats, I have managed to upload a few pics and shall share my experience of building a small wooden house
the location is near Mai Rim, about 20km north of Chiang Mai
the land to build on is about 1.5rai, with an extra 2 or 3 rai of rice fields and two ponds
This is the land:
anyway, in order, they are the big pond, the place the house will go, the old farmhouse, the small pond and toilet, view of the surrounding rice fields and hills, the worker contemplating a heap of sand at the entrance.
more later.
