Wow. Thanks Hillbilly.
Sometime in the nearish future I may have a bit of land either
in southern PKK province or Sukhothai or both. And will build,
eventually.
Your threads on here are priceless. Good luck with what remains!

why would they be necessary? the shitfest provides all the enzymes it needs for breakdown
Since I have been under house arrest since my daughter caught H1N1, things have been both crazy and as always slow.
Here is the start for my garage. Finally, after all these years, we finally get an automatic garage door.

My new living room is looking much better. The horizontal white beam that you see is actually a wooden board that had been previously painted. That will be sanded off to match the ceiling.

Finally, we are putting in the ceiling. Here we are using sheetrock. In Thailand it is called gypsum board.

Not bad. Just keep in mind that I still have a few tricks up my sleeve for the ceiling. :)

In the meantime our "stones" have arrived all the way from Saraburi. B250 per sq. meter.

Not sure of the trade name, we had them delivered with the tanks.
I have to buy some more soon, to top up some of our overworked tanks, so I'll try to find out for you you. when you go into a hardware shop, look around for the small plastic bags of (if I remember correctly little blue balls) they have English as well as Thai descriptions on the bag.

I believe these tanks, are called anaerobic chambers and you need this culture to get them going.

Definition of Anaerobic bacteria:
Anaerobic bacteria are bacteria that do not live or grow in the presence of oxygen.
In humans, this type of bacteria is most commonly found in the gastrointestinal tract. It plays a role in conditions such as appendicitis, diverticulitis, and perforation of the bowel.
We all carry anaerobic bacteria in our gut. Ever think of all the septic tanks that work just fine without someone paying to buy chargers.
^ BKKBILL, well I don't really know Bill, I just know they were supplied with every one of 15 or so black tanks we installed around the resort, with instructions to pre-fill the tank with water up to a certain level and add the packet (hopefully 30 days before use). I can only suppose, that was to let the culture establish itself, before the onset of human waste.
Some thing along the lines of HB's sour dough bread starter.
yes, I was thinking just that, lots of them work just fine without any additionsQuote:

Our septic tank comes with the enzymes. Will have to wait and see if this idea will work or not.
In the pic below you can see the progess being made on our garage.

While using the hammer drill to tear up the old tile in the foyer, this workers gets a piece of cement in the eye.

The daughter chose the tile for her bathroom. :confused:
Where you see the green tile is where the semi-circle shower cubicle will go.

Clearing out the walkway. My wife and I do not know if the person in the blue striped shirt is a guy or a Tom.
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...25_nov_007.jpg
Working on the roof. Should be done today. Well everything but the skylights that is...
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...25_nov_008.jpg
More materials arrive as the baht flows out. :)

Finally, time for lunch.
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...5_novB_003.jpg
Plastering on the backwall to the walkway continues. The water tank and brown awnings will soon be gone.

Hillbilly: Not to digress, but looks like a 'Tom' to me, but then, like building, I am no expert on the matter!Quote:

Why not call her Pat? The SNL Character.:mid:
Thank You !
For sharing your construction with us. Great job like always.
How is your daughter (and you) doing ? Hope she recovers soon.
Appreciate the concerns about my family. It seems for us the H1N1 is over.
So why did the workers place this offering on the table? The answer is simple. The boss had prayed for no rain when our roof was open and none had. Therefore, they were placating the Gods. Believe or not...
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u..._Nov09_001.jpg
I hire all types...

This lady speak English. To well. She wants to do our daughter's closet for B67,000. Ain't going to happen.

Here are talking about the final changes. Keep in mind I have not said my thoughts. :)

Lady from Tak is yummy.
Another puzzle. What is going on with this photograph? And why did hillbilly not catch the mistake earlier?...
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u..._Nov09_018.jpg
Well at least our construction mess is being cleaned up.
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u..._Nov09_023.jpg
Come on, at least smile...

Finally got a face shot of this person. We talked to her for some time. Yes, this is a 100% lady. But since she works like a man, she dresses like a man to protect her from the work environment.
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u..._Nov09_028.jpg
She looks cute
Would she be interested in a fat, bald, aging Farang with no money ?
I already asked and she said no. I even had on my best shorts and T-shirt.Quote:

Actually, the slender old fashioned tile (shown half way up on the wall) is also supposed to go at the very top. So all the top tiles had to be taken out and done correctly. My mistake as the plans were not communicated well enough.Quote:

How many more years does this attitude go on? :)

This view might better explain on what I am trying to accomplish.

The ceiling in the walkway is moving right along. On a side note, I do think it is time for me to clean my camera lens.

Take a close look at these two Thai workers cutting tile. Can you notice the difference in the saw blades? This is where craftsmanship comes into play.

Great thread Hillbilly. It's good to see the job going so well.
One question.
Will the garage actually be used for housing a car, or will it be filled with household junk like most peoples :)
