Buy two, they are great storage. One for dirty dishes to be cleaned and one with dishes that has been cleaned.
Then just circulate between them..

I'm looking into this today, Norton - cheers

Depending on the order size, even distant outlets will be possible. eg Bunthavorn Chonburi is small with small choice, but the main branch in Bangna has everything and is massive. If the order is big enough they will offer an overall discount AND deliver for free!!

Actually lom, I already have two - aged 10 and 14...just need training. lol maybe they though it was a free ride at TD Towers but ... guess again...!!!

lol 'storage'... maybe buy 6 and not bother with the cupboards.... that's the pan store, the glass store, etc .... probably cheaper than some of those kitchens I looked at yesterday....!!

**Thai Dhupp** · 29-05-2018, 10:20 AM

Right! I cant wait for Imgur to fix itself so ... I opened account 2 with them. hopefully i can now upload photos again...

**Thai Dhupp** · 29-05-2018, 10:23 AM

testing, testing...!!!

this should be some bent steel...

did it work...?!

**ootai** · 29-05-2018, 10:57 AM

Yes it did. It must have been your fault all the time not Imgur!
Anyway I wkuld just like to say I enjoy reading your story and look forward to your updates.
I haven't posted a reply to this thread of yours but I have been reading and I enjoy the pictures.
I hope your dreams and aspirations are not dented by your trip to Thailand to see what is actually happening.
Good luckp

hi there ootai and thanks for the confirmation.

lol welcome to stop by any time whether or not you are posting - I think a lot of peeps are doing this judging by the views .v. replies each day.

I'm happy with whats happening, now that I have seen it for myself. Looking good from all angles. the builder is performing v well. he is well ahead of schedule which is very good for us.

**Thai Dhupp** · 29-05-2018, 11:40 AM

no... it was definitely Ingurs issue - I had to open a new Imgur account to post pictures as I was bored waiting for them to sot it out!!

The new account is working fine but i still have the original one - all the photos are still displayed here so its still working. I just cannot access it.

I will sort it out when I get back to DoBuy.

**Thai Dhupp** · 29-05-2018, 11:46 AM

ok... those last photos were the bent roof trusses ready to be placed to form the Ayutthaya-shaped roof over zones 1 and 2.

In the previous pictures, you saw the roof ridge being placed - that will be what the roof trusses are attached to, to join down at the top of the upper floor metal ring and form the roof shape

**Thai Dhupp** · 29-05-2018, 11:52 AM

Roof truss placement

The roof ridge, as a reminder

Roof trusses in position - can see the roof forming now

Looking down the ridge of zone 1

Yes... i spotted that dodgy welding too.. its being attended to!

**Thai Dhupp** · 29-05-2018, 11:55 AM

Oh yeah... before anyone mentions it.... I forgot to resize the photos in my excitement to get uploading again.

Will re-size from now on...

thanks!

Hi TD, build is looking great... love that roof shape, I actually suggested something similar to the missus early on in planning and design stage, but the idea was met with a wrinkled nose and a snort.

hi Jonny...Its a great shape, isnt it!?

I too have experienced that 'expression of support' - usually accompanied by ''up to you'' ... just daring you to pursue your crazy idea!!

Women, eh!!?

Cheers David.... 0.5m ground raised to floor line, 3m to ground floor ceiling, 0.5m 'tween floor and another 3m lift for the 1st floor, then 5.4m for that roof to the ridge....

I reckon that shot needed the camera to be 14m above the ground!!

They have made a nice job of the roof trusses, obviously they don't have access to a "roller" to form the radius so they have cut the steel and re-welded it, the welds look to be well within "acceptable" there is some meat to the beads! a lot better job than I would expect, the tack welds on the longitudinal brace are immaterial, they don't do anything once the structure is in place. Theres some thought and a good few manhours gone into this.
Enjoy the shopping!

**Thai Dhupp** · 31-05-2018, 07:21 PM

Long shots...

Farther..... this was taken about 2km away (not really...)

Nearer....

NEARER....

Notice that annoying electric pole right on the frontage?

No getting around it TD. Looks like the lower cable is fibre optic. That will come in handy. Short of scrolling back and checking, do you intend to run electrics to house underground? I did and have had no problems.

Think positive - you didn't have to pay for it, its all there for you

Once you have a wall up and greenery growing it won't be so in your face.

The good news Norton is, there WAS a way round it!. watch tomorrows gripping installment.. well some more progress pix. I have a LOT now!!

In fact I might upload some more now...

**Thai Dhupp** · 31-05-2018, 08:25 PM

...and, in answer to your question...yes... I want to run the service in through a duct, if possible

There certianly is if you know the right folks at PEA and it seems you do. Move the pole!

Very possible. I did it. That being the case, you need to have the fiberoptic line installed at the same time as electrics.
