We took a couple of days rest to travel through Surin province and had a good time to explore, enjoy and relax and also to discuss things together.
People who know me, know I like finishing work I started before going on to a next phase. That's indeed my way.
Last week however, we decided not to finish the first guest pyramid before going on to the next step in our process but to start in a couple of weeks with the second guest pyramid.
This all has to do with the seasons here. Rain starts step by step after Songkran (the Thai New Year) half of April. Also the pandemic is part of our decision.
Trucks for delivering concrete, blocks and hollow core slabs only can come to our place when the soil is not too wet is our experience now. And sitting and waiting inside to go on because of the rain is not really my thing.
So we will finish the basic structure and roofs of the first guest room, finish the sewage system and water and electricity supply and after that start with the foundation of the second guest room.
When we have rain, we can work dry and go on with the inside of the first guest pyramid.
Because of the pandemic we think it will take some more time to sell my property in Chiang Mai. So far it is no real need to sell it but it will be nice to have some savings to start building the main house. So actually we create time with starting the second guest pyramid. And... we have building permission already so why not.
In the mean time we fixed the first roof tile battens and installed the 'flat' PU foam metal sheet roof. This roof will get another 7,5 cm rockwool isolation but at the moment already you feel a great difference in temperature.
We installed the galvanized U-dich gratings and made, on the inside of the u-ditches a slope.
LED-lights will be installed under the lowest rooftiles to give a special effect in the night. Sewage pipes are fixed to connect with the soak away field to create soon.
