Ooh, not sure about that BD.

They may seem harmless enough at first, but get them riled and they can become a bit of a nuisance:

Oh Merde

Is BD getting some cows/buffalo now???

He'll be rivaling CP within a year!

No cows or buffalo Betty but believe it or not she has been making serious enquiries regarding goats the last couple of days.

It looks good however it would look better if the tile was left in tact. Install by lowering the gas valve in the hole and loop it foreword. Just a thought. It would look better and clean up easy.

It doesn't matter now Fish because where the burners were there are now bags of pig food .

I have read your thread and really nice follow the hole process from start till making a pigfarm.

I like your house with the modules linked together, but where does the rain goes between the roofs?

There is guttering between the main 2 rooms that is fed into 3 big water pots.
There is no guttering between the house and the Sala, the runoff goes into the Koi pond underneath and then by an overflow pipe into the big fish pond.

Verily, this man thinketh of everything.

Goats? For pets or milk???

The In Laws Build


Finally got around to starting to build the modest bungalow for the In Laws, but blooming typical heavy rain during the night stopped play. At least when the foundation trench dries out a bit it should be easier to dig.




Well what to do ?
I have been neglecting my Jihad activities just lately, and my cunningly disguised Weapon of Average Destruction still didn't have a pointy top. This disappointingly led me to downgrade it to a Weapon of Mediocre destruction.
However help was to hand and my associate Somchai Al Bin Sleeping turned up this morning to install the pointy top. He assures me it will be ready before Songkran and will make boom boom mak mak.

You could perhaps use the opportunity to build a scale model of Angkor Wat?

Now that would make an excellent garden feature, but being committed to building them a modest dwelling I would need them both to peg it rather sharpish. I cannot see this happening and envisage them being around longer than it would take Angkor Wat to disappear back into the jungle.

Keep the pics coming BD, contrary to popular opinion there is more than 1 person reading!!

^ No pics yet FO work on Angkor Wat has been put on hold for a couple of days. I have been making a few changes to the pig farm seeing as we now have 33 pigs. With that many the Wife has had to register it and was told we needed to alter a few things. It's nearly done but still no sign of anyone coming to "inspect" it. Work on AW should resume on Monday.

Time for an update.

Work on the In laws bungalow aka Ankgor Wat has been cancelled. This is not due to the in laws sudden demise, they are very much alive and well. Comments not necessary thanks.

The reason is I am enjoying having the pig farm and would like to buy more land for a much bigger farm. I also want a bit of extra growing room to grow crops to feed the pigs.

To finance this Wat BD is up for sale.

Now we are happy with the way it is but we want to make the place a bit more practical for potential buyers. So we need a lounge. The solution block in the downstairs creating a lounge / dining room and extra bedroom.
Using the materials purchased some time ago to build AW I have started to block in the downstairs.

PHASE 2







I wonder if the eagle eyed among you recognise the gentleman assisting me in this project ?

Yes Grandad Porn has returned. As I stated earlier in this thread you can't go wrong with a bit of Grandad Porn.

The Wat will be snapped up I’m sure .

It already has EVERYTHING a Thai would want . Two dirty dogs arses . A toilet plunger . Many plastic containers .
Cheap drying rail ( with tee shirts ) . Dodgy cementing at the base of the blocks straight onto the tiles . Empty dog bowl .
Surplus timbers . A filthy rag hanging outside . Bottle of M-150.

Just publish this photo and the Thais will be queueing up waving ..... oh anything up to 300 000 Baht !

But they'll only be waving it .

They won't pay it .

Good luck with sale and new project. Looking forward to follow a new thread of the building of a pig farm.

Wasp I try to maintain the standards you have set me.

6kon thanks even though I never planned having a small pig farm when I moved here, I really enjoy it. After being bought up in an inner city environment when I when I left school I went to live with my Dad out in the countryside, and spent a few months working on a farm. I am have nothing but fond memories of that time. Our farm can hold up to 40 pigs I want to have something with a capacity for about a 100 pigs and some land to grow crops to supplement the feeding. All I need now is to sell this place to do it. I already have a house idea which will be a lot different from what we normally see on here.

Well you failed enormously .

WE have about 6 ... Count them ... SIX .... scraggy dogs arses dragging themselves around the grounds .
At least 3 toilet plungers ...... Always a minimum of eight shitty rags hanging up for no reason whatsoever .

Our place is much more of a pigsty than yours so there .

Window frames going in.







We are using frames and shutters because they match the rest of downstairs plus I already had them lying around to use on the in laws bungalow.

Block work complete time to render.
