Just subscribed and would love a copy of that document which shows price per sq m because the 25,000 baht per sq m sounds a lot more than I was expecting to pay. You guys must be buzzing with how this build is coming along😁
Hello, love your videos, really interesting. I'm trying to be up to date with this Serie of video because I've discovered your channel when you've posted some already. How can I contact you privately to get the file about prices? Thank you for sharing
hi love the video today and the way its all coming together. Our acrhitect has also suggested a floating slab floor same as yours. I have also seen others fill the internal areas with dirt, sand and poured the slab floors over that....i dont really see any benefit...i may be wrong. I think the floating slab is suitable. I was interested in the cost breakdowns you were showing and would like a copy if possible. thanks again and look forward to more videos. cheers monty
I designed it 1.2 M above grade to help with moisture wicking into the house. Air will be able to circulate under the house. I see so many houses where the paint is pealing off along the bottom also mold growing ever were. If you subscribe to my channel and send me an email I'll send you the full breakdown. Thanks for watching...
@@bugeater38A big difference is a slab is cheaper than a suspended floor. With a slab you have to have a course of gravel under it that provides the capillary gap and lets water drain away then you only left with vapour which will wick it’s way through the slab. Then it depends on what you have on top, if you got ceramic tiles no problem as the vapour will find it’s way to the grouted gaps between the tiles and pass into the air above. However in the USA there have been a lot of court cases as they used to put a moisture barrier plastic down and then 2inches of blotting sand on top as this soaked up the moisture on the under side of the slab when it was drying and curing and prevents getting a curved slab which tends to happen if it is only drying from the top. However once the concrete cured all the moisture trapped in the blotting sand wicks through the concrete and if the floor covering was lamination etc it had nowhere to escape to and degrades the glue holding the flooring down that then pops lose. I see a lot of discussion on forums about putting a plastic moisture barrier here in Thailand but as the stuff they use in the USA is 15 mm or thicker and all you can get here is 6 mm, if it tears moisture will get trapped between the plastic and the bottom of slab and form pools of water and fungal, bacteria, mold etc form that are not good for concrete. Water in easy out easy is no problem it’s when it gets trapped the problems start so it was me I would never use a plastic moisture barrier under a slab and would stick to ceramic tiles. What happens at the bottom of walls is the moisture wicks up the easiest path near the surface of the concrete and above ground tries to escape to the air but the paint isn’t porous enough so it bubbles and flakes off leaving damp bare wall and if that is shaded by the roof overhang this is the ideal climate for the black mold to grow. If you put one or 2 rows of tile skirting along the bottom of the wall then it works exactly the same a slab floor with the moisture escaping to the air through the grouted gaps between the tiles and above the tiles gets no moisture and so no peeling paint or black mold. As I also said in another comment lime wash is pretty porous and lets moisture escape and being alkaline with ph above 11 the black mold con’t live in it. With suspended floor I suppose one down side is you might get snakes, hornets, wasps etc setting up home under the floor.
Nice progress- looking good!
Really looking forward to having a roof soon 🇹🇭👀🙏
How awesome is that. Super cool video and watching the process on an overseas house is amazing to see. Well done buddy!
I've been learning a lot on the way. It's so different than how we do things in the states. Thanks for watching...
We got a roof! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
We're getting close🇹🇭👀🙏
thank you again for sharing your house progress. 🙏
Thanks for watching 🇹🇭 👀 🙏
Yes... I would love to live there!!
It fits our lifestyle... So many beautiful locations here in Thailand 🇹🇭 😍 🙏

Thanks for the sub... I need an email address and I send you the document 🇹🇭👀🙏

Glad you found us and thanks for watching 🇹🇭 👀 🙏
You can buy some Chinese solar panels Then the air conditioner can be turned on 24 hours a day for free :)
That would be great. We're going to look into that for sure 🇹🇭👀🙏

Looks Awesome - Congrats! Probably will do the same thing but need to find the right location first! Did you look into Krabi and Phang Nga or Koh Lak?
We traveled all over Thailand for a few years and settled on Chumphon. Thanks for watching, and we hope to see you on the next one 🇹🇭 👀 🙏
what's the sq footage of your build?
Around 780 in the house and another 970 under roof outside. Thanks for watching 🇹🇭 👀 🙏
