Preparations are going on and so far going well.
We got quotations for the electricity lines from 3 companies.
The basic land plan still is the idea we want to go on with.
Architectural and constructional drawings are more and more developing.
I bought welding equipment and will get a welding course soon.
End of December a small excavator will visit the land and will dig some holes to check the soil. Also the place for the labyrinth and Buddha statue will get its first land preparation. That's why we made already the landmarks as you see on the picture.
These landmarks we will also use to mark the places where the company have to put the 15 concrete (Provincial Electricity Authority standard) poles to cover the around 300 meters distance to the land.
The company also will connect the first two 35 mm2 electricity cables. We start with a so called 'one phase' and 220 V connection. After some time possibly it is necessary to switch to a three phase (380/400 V) connection so we have to add another two more lines and transformer.
We are discussing the idea to put a shipping container (see the picture as an example) for temporary use on the land. They are ready made, isolated and installed by a Thai company and just gives us a cool (AC) place to stay, sleep, store some hardware and not to forget have a good shower and toilet.
A calculation Phatsamon made showed at the long term this can save us money instead of living temporary in a resort or even rent a house. Afterwards we can sell it again or use it as a storage or something else.
If we decide to make use of this option we will make an isolated metal roof above the container that also covers a small terrace in front. We will raise the container to get some space underneath and a nice sun covered space for dog Kadhow.
