Temperatures are rising quickly. During the day at least 37 degrees Celsius already. So, it's sweating going on with our process but... in only one week, together we finished the outside part of TED's (Talk, Eat, Drink's) as well.
We cleaned the outside of the Knock Down Home (container unit) and did some landscaping to make a small flower garden in front of the veranda. Like I did, creating the big Medieval (Chartres) Labyrint in Chiang Mai, we used green empty beer bottles for that.
We changed some electricity outlets and connections for the water dispenser and the garden fountain and painted the veranda floor, stair and balcony. The painting we had to do late in the afternoon and beginning of the evening because during daytime it's too hot to get some good paintwork.
Some new furniture and cushions are brought in as well and the ceiling fan is working great. Starting yesterday we follow the Thai respectful habit to take of our shoes before walking up the stairs (except for Kadhow).
So, within two years we finished the electricity and water supply and controlroom, the Petite Chartres Labyrinth, the pond and big parts of the garden, street lanterns and security system, the first guest pyramid and now TED's place.
Next week we will go on with some outside work (ceiling and pavement) of the first guest pyramid and will continue with the construction and finishing of the second guest pyramid room. The last will take a couple of months and is finished when it's finished. No stress. After that the design for the main house and hopefully, after building permission for that, end of the year start with the foundation of that new place.
Kadhow is getting more and more excited looking and waiting already for the first friends/guests to arrive. But...He has to wait till at least the last part of this year ;).
