Building your own Thai condo

[dirtydog]

Sorry about that I must have uploaded the uncorrected video.

Well it's time for some dissappointing news, I am pretty sure they are only going up 4 or 5 stories high, they have now started putting in waste water pipes so I really don't think they are going much higher, too much chance of pipes being filled with concrete if they were.

Too bad.

Just make sure you get some pictures when they build this new Condo, Thailands next highest building.

Well it seems they have reached the top, I am a bit disappointed they didn't go higher.



But they are starting new buildings now.



Look at this one.



I rally have no idea why this hole is so big.

Only just seen this thread.

Can anyone tell me why they pile drive concrete posts into the ground, then dig an hole around the post and then smash it to bits ?

Why not just dig a big hole in the first place and then pour concrete around rebars or whatever.

I think a digger can only go about 6 or so meters deep, and it just wouldn't work, they dig pits not holes.

Yeah i suppose so. Cheers DD
