2nd Day of Building the 3rd House
It is an interesting and new experience building a house in rural Thailand compared to Australia. Firstly, council approval only took a couple of days, not the months it takes in Australia (as long as roughly we followed the plans of the previously). I don't think that our neighbours were asked what they thought about the building plans (otherwise we might have lodged a complaint about losing our view : ) Secondly, the only machinery being used is a electric cutter to cut the steal. All the digging is being down with shovels and picks. Not bulldozers for earth movers. Thirdly, bamboo trees growing next to our house are being used as fencing and stakes to provide markers for the house boundaries and where the foundations should go etc.
I can't believe how deep and wide the foundations are going to be.
Life is never dull here.
