Hard at work picking grass.

a picture of a hole half filled with cement.
Around 10,000 Baht for the model/size in the picture.Originally Posted by Tao
Motor not included, that is another 4000 Baht.
Footings, columns and beams are what you'll see them do now and coming weeks. That is a footing..Originally Posted by ChiangMai noon

what are the upright metal contraptions for?
is it some sort of re-bar?
Reinforcement for the concrete columns.
The guy with the hat is holding what is the beginning of a wooden box for making columns.
The metal will be inside the box.
cheers.
that's what I meant.
nice pics noony. i look forward to sipping some pale welsh ale on your porch sometime in the future
I'm not sure if you mentioned it before, but how long is it expected to take?
Good pics. Is it a new camera or a steady hand now that you don't drink?
they say 3 months maximum.Originally Posted by NickA
I'm not overly bothered so long as it doesn't turn into a buadhai saga.
thank you.Originally Posted by buad hai
same machine.
I think the light seems right for pic taking up there especially when my wife is holding the camera.
3 months and 1 million?
I say 7 months and 1.4 million
Don't mean to be negative, but this seems about right for other similar projects in Thailand. They never factor in time and money for problems, mistakes, extras...
Good luck though and if you can do it as expected I will give you and your wife a gold star.

it will end up being more than a million for sure.
hopefully not a great deal more, just a bit more.
best thing is that the builders are very local, all from the little village we are moving to.
That thread of thetyim's neighbours house gave me hope.
Completed in 2 months and under budget.
I reckon they will try and get it finished for SongKran.
Have you planned a fitted kitchen?
^
they are saying before songkraan, yes.
the kitchen area is quite small, but big enough for cooking.
not sure what to do with it yet.
^probably some cooking would be a good idea.

That sounds familiar.
Wouldn't happen to know a certain troll called T.......m would you??

Are you calling me a troll ?
Out of interest, assume that you have electricity to the plot, but what about water, have you a mains supply or do you have a well?
Both mains water and a well which is handy for watering the garden.
Nice cement mixer but take note! It might be cheaper to mix your own cement but could in the long run be really expensive. If the boys get the cement, sand, gravel ratios wrong in your columns and beams you are going to have big problems. I strongly suggest you look into premix from Siam Cement or ??.Originally Posted by ChiangMai noon
