Finally things are running again.
After we asked for a second time the local government was so kind to fill the deepest holes in the dirt road. After the long and extreme heavy monsoon this year we were not the only ones asking for road repair. So, for a while we can use it again. A concrete road will come but will take some years and they will make step by step, about two hundred meters per time, starting this year.
Because we discovered floor/wall tiles were enough in stock of the shop now we already ordered 175 m2 (175 pack/two pallets) of wall tiles for our main house and the workplace/tool storage to build.
Because we use the second guest pyramid at the moment also for storage we need to make a workplace/tool storage room to empty the pyramid so we can finally finish the second pyramid.
So we started to create this workplace. An inside 2 x 4 meters space. Yesterday we were able to pour the concrete for the foundation/floor.
We also finished all the underground cable work for the main house and the workshop and installed the main switch to be connected with a new 500 meter long electricity line in about one year time.
Last weekend, as a nice break, we had a family meeting and BBQ of Phatsamons family with 18 persons at our place. Campfire, music, great food and drinks. Just fun time. So we are not only building but also relaxing and already a bit showing our hospitality.
Foundation blocks and blocks for the walls of the storage already arrived in Surin and can be delivered now. Hollow core slabs are in the process of ordering to be delivered end of this month. November 8 we intend to start with the formwork for the main house foundation. We made a reservation for the rent of the formwork and wooden small poles and steel pins to install are already waiting.
