    Yes, lots of pics of blocks, your memory is terrible. Pages 1-4, by the way what blocks again?

    Do you have a supplier that you chose or does your builder get all your materials specd in with the job, in which case where did you get your blocks from if i could ask? I need to fill about 50m2 only need the 7.5cm as it will be doubled up with thermal gyproc. Many thanks in advance. I know a good doctor if you find your losing your memory, he lives near wat chedi luang.
    im hot its so hot today.......milk was a bad choice!

    the latter, same as the steel

    no, but here is a nice one of some unrendered blockwork, plus an untreated door and an unglazed window from the second floor rear flat

    the window is to let light into the stairwell, as per regs and will have to be glazed with obscured glass (not sure whether to use the pebbled effect or the shotblasted stuff)



    well, the rear penthouse is finished block-wise, the front hardly progressed yet

    as mentioned, the stairs to the roof garden will be sited above the other set




    This gives some idea of the front flat balconies, the sliding glass doors will be from the column to the centre-right of the pic for access, so it is over a metre wide - enough for a small table and a couple of chairs


    I have reported your post

    Thanks, q-con what a beauty!

    What is the normal practise with Aac, if you want strength in the wall do you also use plaster board on battens? Or do you just render with a straight to block render, someone was complaining about strength if you hang units solely on the 7.5 cm wide block?

    What is your experience?

    This is better than Alice in wonderland, its building in Thailand.

    in fact, that curly stuff is quite close and strong enough

    but who wants little people as tenants, they always complain they can't reach the light switches

    AAC is the aerated aluminium concrete block. Those white things in the picture. Im so sorry about the lectric and plumbing, maybe you can just give people torches and beach bbq's?

    so sandwiches

    the workers have had a few days off so not much progress

    They did get some more metal so managed to nearly finish the second floor front



    from the first floor




    I shall probably just clad the metal in gyproc board


    They did not get enough metal to start the new build penthouse yet

    there are some banging noises in an apartment meaning the blockwork is continuing - no pics as they would look the same as before!

    What luxury features will it have to distinguish itself from the other bedsits ?

    as in most penthouses, just the one!

    these are not bedsits but nice one bed flats, all lux

    a distinguishing feaure of penthouses is that they are at the top; this new build one will have a sloping high roof and ...that's it really, a loft type place
