Four days and three nights no rain so far. Sure the monsoon is not over yet but it's slowly getting (and we hope staying) dryer.
Yesterday Phatsamon found some forest workers in the forest while we were walking with the dogs. She asked them to 'clean up' our place a bit after five trees fell down. This morning very early they came for free. They sell the wood to a company. Ok for us. A win-win.
At the moment we work on everything at the same time. Not really my thing but we try to do what we can do with the construction materials still left. So we are working on the outside pavement, inside and outside painting of parts installed, installing electricity and flat ceilings, tiling and even land survey. It's all a bit unorganized and nothing really can be finished yet, but we still have enough to do. Nothing for me to sit and wait.
We hope on Monday (if no rain will come in the mean time) the excavator can come to dig the place/construction site to make the foundation for the main house.
Yesterday we discovered we cannot finish the inside ceiling because the company run out of stock of splendid planks. Not sure yet when they are there again.
In the mean time we got a message the special foundation blocks for the house we had to order six weeks in advance, already arrived in Surin. One month too early. So they need to wait. The road is still too weak to carry the weight of a loaded truck for delivery.
The bananas are growing well and also our Kingfisher friend is back on site again.
Up-date October 15:
A new depression with rain and for us very low temperatures arrived. So for sure no digging machine on Monday can work here. Happy yesterday late afternoon we found seven packs splendid planks. So, after the rain stops we can finish the inside ceiling of the second guest pyramid.
