 NEW SHED

Actual date of post: 13 February 2021

Work commenced Thursday 11/02/21 on construction of a new storage shed, replacing the old dilapidated cow shed.

Indicative budget of 100,000 THB for a shed 12.5 X 4.5 metres with an enclosed room 4 X 4 metres at the Northern end.  We are using the contractor who built the shed and fence at Yuri's parents house.  They are quick and efficient and their quality, so far, has been to a high standard.

Construction will be steel reinforced concrete with cement blocks and an aluminium roof.  Nothing fancy, just a simple functional shed to use during the house build and afterwards as a storage / garden shed for Yuri's Flower, Fruit and Tree farm equipment, seedlings etc.


Progress Day 1: setting out and receiving cement, cement blocks, sand & metal


Day 2: all columns in place and set with concrete.  Slower than planned due to non-arrival of steel bar due for early AM delivery, necessitating a quick trip to an alternate supplier two villages away, via motor bike for suitable lengths of 8 mm steel bar.
