No Songkran this year so construction materials available to buy today.

April 13, 14 and 15 we normally celebrate Songkran (Thai New Year). Especially at the place where I live with the elephants a nice celebration (I think). This year no Songkran for the first time ever, like no Easter celebrations for the first time ever. 

The good thing of it was that we could buy construction materials, especially steel, for the veranda. 

During breakfast Phatsamon discovered a Songkran Breakfast visitor watching us. So nice to see this wonderful animal in his camouflage skin. 

The last couple of days we got more and more cow friends enjoying the daily free water supply. Soon we will not see them for a while anymore. More and more thunder, lightning and rain is arriving now. The farmers started to prepare their lands for the new rice harvest and in that period the cows are not welcome on the land but good taken care of in their stables. 

While I was cutting steel and welding, Phatsamon was pre-drilling the floor planks. Today we have to seal the welds and paint. After that we will take the next steps for the balcony and preparation for the sandwich roof construction. 

Some pictures again:
