My final view of the house before having to return to the UK. Actually I am very pleased with the progress that has been made over the past 13 weeks - but don't tell the builder I said that.Thaifu TMar 11, 2007

Tiles are delivered. Metal battens are to the right of the tiles. Note the cockerel in the cage. For those unfamiliar with this neck of the woods (sorry) 'Chicken Boxing, as my g/f calls it (aka Cock Fighting) is very popular in Thailand - it's even televised. Before you report me to the RSPCA, the birds do not have spurs attached and to the best of my knowledge do not get killed. I later demanded they were taken from site.Thaifu T

Kitchen with three walls tiled, waiting for plumbing to be added to far wall. Ceiling now erected - using standard gypsum board.Thaifu T

Exterior now rendered and primer applied. Now adding bricks to the columns to increase the size. This was going to be the car port but will now be another patio (or GRAND entrance if I want to be a snob)Thaifu T

Example of Thai brick work. Bricks tied to columns by means of drilling into concrete and inserting steel rods. Note the horizontal 'beam' on the other side of the scaffolding, this is re-infirced and adds strength.Thaifu T

Preparing the first floor. Precast re-inforced concrete slabs are laid across the beams.Thaifu T
