Thread: Building a house in Nakon Ratchasima province(Isaan)

....and the dunny downstairs has to be done as well,concreting....and some steps outside....the 2steps he has to change the tiles.......












...so what do we waiting for now???

....the bricks are coming,Q-con-lightweight bricks 60cm long,20cm high,10cm thick,3000 pieces on 2 trucks and a couple long ones with rio bars in it,support beams for the windows and doors......

10cm standard in contract-smart series-

worth having the 10cm bricks instead of 7.5cm and to put the electrical boxes in ,you havent got the backside of the box nearly sticking out on the other side....

...so lets start with the brick-laying and chasing walls,put electrical boxes in and lay more conduits

hey,it is full on....no mack around here....full steam ahead.....


the only link between main electrical board on the ground floor and the 1.floor sub board...
6*32mm - 3 for power-3 for low voltage stuff(tv,phone,PC)











thanks to my lovely wife,she helped me every day during this part of the built,put in all the boxes after i made the holes for it and closed up the walls i chased and put a net over it....

..the guys from SCG are coming and do the roof construction...
''ROOF TRUSS by SCG"

it is fairly common this system in north western of australia due to termites....
(Karratha,Port Hedland,Broome,Kununurra-and dont forget Fitzroy Crossing,Halls Creek and Turkey Creek-now Warmun,thats where iv seen it)

the termites dont like to eat that stuff,they loose their teeth....

ive seen this system in perth too,but timber roofs are more common....

and i was shocked how they worked....thats not normal here......something is clearly wrong with it......





i meant this guy before,wearing a harness and hooked up to a safety rope,layn yard or so its called(wrong spelling i know)

that remains me again@work in the last job in a newly built mine....wear a harness and hookup all the time,no matter if it was only 3 metres above ground and sit in a big transformer box.......


the boys are assembling the stuff in the back



and the next day,its gonna go up to the top....




and screw all this stuff together with TEX-screws
