Thread: Module prefab houses. You own it 100%. Move anywhere.

Hello, can you show what you have found interesting ?! Thank you.

What I find interesting is that these Americans have built neat little homes, but when they show you the kitchen it's the size of an English kitchen. What is considered small in the US is standard here.

By proper roof you mean the ridiculous useless roof that everybody has on its house without knowing why ?
I would never ave such ! It's so stupid to waste the roof space that can be perfect as a large terrace.
I guess that you also do not like sliding doors and prefer the stupid standard doors, totally ugly and space wasting ?

Cardboard box style has been out a few centuries by now I think.

Those terraces do look nice, now that you mention it.

Wonder what became of the guy who started this thread?

Yeah, a large terrace is nice, but I understand that flat roofs have a tendency to leak. The only water collection that you'll get will be puddles inside your house.

Couple o' layers of varnish and into a glass fridge, from what I read.

If you were residing in Thailand you might noticed that there are never a person seen siting on a terrace, nor on an open air in a garden...

Id imagine the roof terrace would make a nice frying pan

I have never EVER seen anyone sitting on the roof of one of these damn ugly things .

My brother I would run across our flat roof and jump off onto a pile of blankets to break our fall. Not sure the blankets did any good but at 6 and 7 you believe a lot of things. But my sister would sun bathe up there.

Yes, and we also know how smart are the people here....

Even these idiots from Bangkok go on week end to the beach or countryside and do not walk even 20 meters to 7eleven and do not step in the nature.

If Somchai the village idiot build your roof, yes it can leak, flat or not.

Good day all...new to TD - but not Thailand.

Reading the construction threads as I am perhaps going to embark on a build. I notice the terrace comments and wonder if anyone does have one?

Looking to build in the EEC + zone (Chan/Trat) so sun is less fierce and views are great!

In my mind I would want to slope the rook slightly to permit runoff (did flat roofing in high school summers and cant see them doing well here - though that was long ago, technology must have changed, not tar & gravel anymore?). SO to do that I am thinkinfg maybe some supports on the roof to make the terrace level? Then partially covered with a mind to sun and have a small bathroom and kitchen for late day/early morning. The covered portion would have floor to ceiling windows with screens to make it functional when the jungle is alive.

Any thoughts appreciated (thoughtful thoughts)

Cheers

I sit on my verandah when the power is out, or first thing in the morning with a coffee.

Open widows and doors once the sun is up. Natural ventilation is a must in the tropics.

^ Your lower ventilation shaft must be pretty big by now.

Go for sealed in 24/7 with the aircon at 18 degrees meself.

I'm aligned on that - need airflow in high humidity
