This photo was posted to point out several possible problems while building in Thailand.

We have allowed these builders to order the material as is needed. However, one does need to be careful.

For example, one has to keep watch on all of those water bottles. They tend to vanish. The satangs do add up. Additionally, look at the cable laying around. Many times workers tend to forget where materials are at and want to order more.

Then we have the working tables. They have been built out of my wood, with my paying for the labor, but often times while cleaning up the workers will take everything.

You can also see the one cement bag out in the open. Don't be afraid of telling the workers to put it out of the rain.

Finally, while I am on this issue, be carefull when you tell workers they can have the scraps of wood or metal. Their definitions of scrap may differ from yours.

There is much more in this photo that I could point out, but you get the idea.
