The time has arrived and building has started.

The house is being built by my wife as I am still here in Australia. She is building it using the money she has saved while living and working here for the last 8 and a half years. About 5 years ago we built a cheap house on her land for her Mum and daughter.

The diagram shows where we are building (sort of) the double lines at the top represent Highway 24 and we are in Burinam.

A - is where her parents house was /is it is now occupied by her sister.

B - is where she built the house for her Mum

C - is where she was originally going to build her new house

D - the Shed

F - where the new house is being built

WT - is the water tower which will show up in later photos

While allthis may not make a lot of sense at the moment it shoul later when I post more information.


At this stage we don't plan anything other than a garden at the house even though its on 4 rai.
The blocks at B & C are each half a rai so the house is on a total of 5 rai and the missus reckons she wants to build a wall around it all. Looks like I'll be busy.

This next photo is one I just threw in to show some of the "Farm" which is a few kilometres away from the village.



And here's what she is hoping to have at the end of the build, minus the garden and pond put in by the architect to make it look pretty.



To be continued....
