The day before yesterday we did some land surveying with our tools to get the markers for the digging machine in the right place and North-South direction. We also got the right acid (Hydro Chloric Acid 35%. Liquid you need to be very careful with) to clean the cement remaining on the labyrinth. First I did a small try out because I am waiting for the second order to finish the plasterwork of the floor. After I finish that I will work with the acid to get the pattern and color clear.
Yesterday night it started to rain. Tropical Storm Noul also reached our area. The whole day we were locked down in a lockdown ;). The road to our site was only mud. This morning the wheelbarrow was filled with rainwater.
This morning it was dry (for a couple of hours because at the moment it is pouring rain again, the gap is filling with rain water and Kadhow is trying to find shelter). The operator of the digging machine called and wanted to come. OK for us. Even the pujabahn (major of the village) came to visit us for a short while.
Before the operator with his excavator could reach our site he needed to repair the road at a couple of places because it was damaged by the heavy rain. After that he started to do his job. It took about four hours all together and he delivered again a good job for us.
We can and will leave this gap for a while before we level to start with the strip foundation.
At the moment terrible weather again. No power, internet and water in the village. Happy to have our own generator so Phatsamon can cook.
