The workers mounted the roof on the house on Wednesday. As with the other two houses, once the foundation was done, the structure and roof went up in almost no time at all. Now we just need a floor and walls and it will be a house.
BaanLoiNaam: It is starting to look like a house
I checked up on the progress of BaanLoiNaam today. The steel structure of the roof appears to be complete now. Tomorrow, the metal roofing material will arrive, and the workers think it will take only a day to install. Then onto the walls…
A tool shed and a floating house
We probably should have done this a long time ago, but we finally started building a decent sized toolshed for the workers to keep everything from wheelbarrows and ladders to drill presses and spools of electrical wire. Previously, they just kept this stuff in the houses as they built the houses, but it is time…
Living in a bubble
Ever since I can remember, Praew has talked about building a treehouse. If you check out YouTube, you can find that they come in all shapes, sizes and designs. Today I stumbled across the YouTube video above which is a tour of a resort in Quebec that uses plastic bubbles on platforms as treehouses, complete…
They threw some water plants in with the trees
The guy we bought trees from was pretty excited by our organically filtered pond and mentioned he had a whole bunch of water plants that we could grow in the filter zone that he would throw in for free. The plants were thalia geniculata plants. First we had to clear all of the invasive Thai morning…
A walk around the land to check out the new trees
I am very happy with how the trees have turned out. It is always a bit hard to imagine it before hand, and when the workers are around we are always focused on making sure they don’t run over something important in their truck (which happened), or dig through some of the electric wires when…
Pictures from a week of planting trees
We spent the week this week planting trees. It was quite tiring despite the fact the we didn’t personally have to do any of the actual work. 😉 Praew took the lead here and scoped out the various plant shops around the ring road and chose one. She ordered 14 trees, almost all of them…
A staircase down into the pond
I’ve been wanting a way to climb down into the pond for some time now. After going swimming in the pond a few times (mostly for the purpose of doing maintenance, but it is still refreshing on a hot summer day), it is quite clear that climbing up and down the slope is quite difficult…
Driveway gate opener finally installed and wired up
We’ve been sitting on the driveway gate opener for quite a while. A number of other projects took precedence. But we’ve finally wired it in and tested it last week. There still need to be some finishing touches on the wiring of the IR sensor which stops the gate closing if someone or something gets…
Building the walkway around the pond
We’ve begun building the walkway around the pond. Here are a few pictures of the first section starting at the driveway:
