Thread: Japanese House

Then, you build supports, or reuse supports already constructed and adjusted to the height of the blue pipe.

Then you add more supports.

Then you adjust all the supports, tie them with steel wires.

Then you can put plywood on top.


The steel reinforcement is already cut and bent, I will leave to your imagination the rest of the building, in 4" or 10 cm concrete, one meter wide and finished with a small stones mix, because I'm leaving and there will be no more photos until I come back in November!

It's a shame to leave now, when the coffee beans have appeared

We start plowing the rice paddies.

The glass in in the first shoji door

I painted the first column with an oil paint. A bit shiny for my taste.

But then, I added a bit of colour, to be less cement pipe and more wood like.

epic, im going to be so sad when this thread ends

have a good trip mate can't wait to see it finished.

A British volunteer (WWOOFer) took some pictures : The bridge was poured, spectacular.

At the same time, tiles are starting to show in the swimming pool. Much slower as if I was there, but, at least, it's moving on. It rains a lot too...

Lots of concrete was poured ... The approach to the house will not be muddy anymore.

Absolutely fantastic!

Have to say seeing this thread had some new posts brightened up my day. I have loved following this thread. Brilliant.

Thank you guys, wish I was there!
Hotter now in Canada than in Northern Thailand. July!!! and humid too!

It's looking very sharp.

Can't wait to see what that pool looks like when it's done, sure it's going to be epic!

Wow, what a great build. Congratulations. Looking forward to further updates.

Far away, August 7th, from Quebec, I just gave a contract to a local for the glass on all the walls, except for the lower part to be made of wood, also for the windows, with some with mosquito nets.

The small pool cabin lacks a few roof tiles, and a bit of plastic for the filter... A whole roll was "eaten" during last summer...

I hope my brother-in-law will be able to get what's needed before I come back.

Sorry, no pictures!

What happened?
I started to show this thread to friends.
Page 36 does not have any picture left...
Who do I contact to repair this?

And again, page 27 has no more picture...

The pictures work for me. It's probably due to Photobucket being shite.
