Long time no see , thought it was time to update , now have built a 400m2 house in Thailand , what an experience that was , so many things in the building trade , which i was part of in Australia , that are done different , but i must say i was very surprised at the speed it was done , the whole slab was poured in one hit they worked till dark, i used aerocrete blocks 40x20x15 cms for thermal , and had a colourbond roof with 25mm foam on the underside , quit cool inside , suspended ceiling , would have prefered something i could walk on , all steel beams supporting the roof , very impressed with the electrical side , every cable run in yellow pipe, which is not done in Australia, i bought over 6 safety switches , no hassle for the sparky did what i asked , my architect had not heard of a copper earth rod , found one at do home in Buriram , many tried to talk me out of having gutter installed , but i went ahead , put all the blue underground pipe in myself , was expensive to do and had trouble getting someone to do it .
I had ceramics tiles everywhere in the house and outside veranda's, all inside and outside had 2 coats of skimming powder, then undercoat and two top coats , every window had fly screens , one way coating , overall very happy , and the trades that came in from the builder , workman ship i have no complaint . i had a set price to build it , and i bought all the materials
