Green House Motel

This album documents the build of our motel which is destined to create work for my wife & her family, and earn money for me to import tea, wine, and cheese.
It's a low-budget construction the way the Thais build their modern houses.

KItchen view 3jazzmanOct 28, 2010

Kitchen view 2The cooker hood was got cheap for 6,500 baht from Home Pro, Udon. Normal price was baht 13,000 but it was in a sale because it had been a demo on a display board in the shop. The two-ring glass cooker hob cost about 4,000 baht (if I remember rightly) from Global House, and the stainless steel double sink and drainer cost about 2,700 complete with tap (faucet), drains, and underneath plumbing pipes and U-bends.jazzmanOct 28, 2010

Kitchen view 1We keep adding bits to this kitchen and it's still not complete. A breakfast bar still has to be built from the left hand side near the fridge to halfway across the archway. And the fridge will be replaced with a side-by-side. Cost: there is about 65,000 baht's worth of KITZCHO?® units. The solid granite counter tops cost about 18,000 baht including installation. jazzmanOct 28, 2010

wall 5Then it fell over. One night of rain was enough. This wall will be rebuilt using correct engineering and correct drainage. Another 40 trucks of dirt will be needed to top up the infill that was washed away. Probable total cost: around 250,000 baht.jazzmanJan 29, 2010

Leach pipe.A leech system septic tank always end with a system of these. Should need no further description. It's a 4" / 100 mm pipe with holes drilled in it. See the forum on Plumbing to know more.
Seepage tanks should also have an overflow pipe. It is essential to measure the percolation of the substrate before simply installing the more simple seepage type of tank.jazzman

Sewage FarmNo everyone's tastiest topic for discussion. This is a correctly designed double chamber system, separating the grey water and the black water. The back yard will be raised flush with the tops of the silos and the pipes will be buried.jazzman

Timer module.An analog timer to fit on the rack inside the MCB housing. This one will carry 16A. An MCB (of the same or a lower amperage should be inserted in the circuit AFTER the clock the MCB will trip out before the overload wrecks the timer. Can be used for anything from perimiter lighting to pool filtration. Needs to be coupled to a relay if high amperage switching above 16A.jazzman

roof tile battensThese galvanised steel W-section battens will take special self-tapping 'Profast' screws straight through from the tiles. Other 'Profast' self-tapping screws are used to screw them to the rafters. They can tap into the 3.3 mild steel obviating any predrilling. These battens have the huge advantage that laying the tiles is a one-man operation. Thais usually anchor their tiles by passing copper wire through the screw hole with a man underneath to do the tying.jazzman

'Breezeblock'itblock: ?¸?¸´?¸?¸š?¸??¹‡?¸?¸„, the finished item. If the holes a re left empty, the brick has excellent insulting properties approaching those of a cavity wall. For a stronger construction, the holes can be filled with cement and rebar can be fed trough them or up the grooves in the ends.
Current 2009 price: 3.50 baht. delivery is always free for a house load within a radius of about 50 Km from your plot.jazzman

Ceiling fanWe have two in the living room and one in each bedroom. Cost: 620 baht.
Sorry about the green hue - the color seems to get everywhere...jazzman

HingesSold in pack of four. Not the very cheapest but far from luxury, these cost 199 baht per pack at HomePro.
We install three per door.jazzman

Used in the motel.Light switch and fan controller.
Fan controllers are supplied with the fans.
The trick here is to use one conduit under the rendering for both the light switch and the control box.jazzman
