Thai style building:- Carport - do it yourself - and CHEAP
It's a bit quiet in the Building Forum ATM so maybe a good time to showcase the ways Thai build for themselves.
We built this a little while ago, but most prices would still be relevant today.
Carport - do it yourself - and CHEAP
Building a Carport, Thai Style and not expensive.
Can it be done? I was about to find out over the next week or two.
The place where I stay/live in Thailand is the home of my gf's parents.
They are Farmers, Fish and Prawn Farmers in Central Thailand.
The gf's old man and I get on OK so the plot was hatched to build a Double Carport.
It gives me the chance to have my wheels under cover and for him to free up space in another area.
It was actually being planned before being discussed with me ... and, being asked to pay for some of it,
that approach went down like a lead balloon because that 'some of it' was never discussed ...
Since then, I've regained my cheerfulness as the build got under way and the split on the costing works out
about 1/3rd me ... 2/3rds him ... :)
When I get a copy of the Materials Invoice, I'll be able to explain better.
But the agreement is that he paid the initial Bill and I pay the balance.
