Finally we could finish the roof tiling with fixing the round and end ridges.
The extreme amount of ongoing rainfall this month proofs the roof and connections are not leaking. The same rain helps the rice to grow but it's time to come to an end because in a couple of weeks harvest time needs to start. Ongoing rainfall can give mold and so diminish the quality of the (most Jasmin) rice.
The long rainfall also starts to influence more and more the village life. The land is oversaturated with water now and at most places, we are one of them, start to disturb the working of the sewage systems. Our soak away field temporary is disturbed and cannot drain enough water. So, great idea of Phatsamon, we decided to make a separate wateroutlet for the washing machine. Things, so far, are working again.
Still no heavy trucks can arrive and enter to our site so we still have to wait for new construction materials to arrive. The dirt road is more than slippery and terrible to drive even with our Kia truck. So, in the process now we use the materials and leftovers we still have. We finished the installation of the water supply for pyramid room II and started with some block laying. In pyramid room I we work a bit inside on the walls. All together not too much progress because of the weather but still progress. On the other hand, no problem, I am retired ;).
Very slowly the new idea for the new design of the main house is arriving. Nice to work on that as well.
Working in the garden, cutting branches again, I interrupted some bees. No nest but waiting (or taking shelter against the rain) under a leaf of a tree. So another attack. This time 'only' one that succeeded to attack me just under my nose. Being more than allergic for them it took me around three days, even after taking strong medicines within two minutes after the bite, to get my original face back. Back on track again.
For us, even as for Kadhow (and dog Joke) who want to play outside again, we have had enough rain now. The weather forecast does not agree with our wish and promise us at least another ten days filled full of water. It is the way it is.
