It’s interesting that the beam walkers are barefoot. I’m guessing that gives them instant feedback as to where they are on the beam. Stick work boots on them and they might walk right off the edge.
Hi... I live in Loei. We are about to start our build soon. I just have to finish my plan. I wish i had seen the foundations when you were in construction. Would you mind if I stopped by to see how things are done?
@@AmericanInThailand thanks, I have watched many of your videos, however, as you state in the video, you try to make the videos short... but I am one of those guys that like long videos because I am looking for lots of detail. 😁
208,000 baht. That included the beams, trusses, tiles and labour. Plus we paid 20,000 extra for an upgrade that the tile crew recommended. This upgrade was for the material (sorry, don’t know what it’s called) used where the tiles meet for improved water proofing.
Thanks for checking out the video. I concur. Good catch on the wall at the back. I took another look at it. That wall is the front of a closet and it’s the same width as one brick. So I am not sure if he did that correctly, or should he have staggered one brick and the two ½ bricks.
@@canuckinisaan8242 Its not just the one wall,virtually every wall has been built like kids with play blocks ,one on top of the other, After seeing this i had a look at the floor getting screeded and the weldmesh is on the floor panels and they hadnt even lifted it when giving it the top coating of redimix, The roof looks good,is it another crew
@@shaunmoncur2990 I checked the walls a couple of times. As Sunrise commented, its the sealant dripping down onto the bricks below that gives the impression that the bricks are not staggered, but on close inspection, they are. Perhaps this is because of the poor quality of the equipment i use to make the videos, the image is not as clear as it could be. You are correct about the mesh on the floor slabs, they did not put spacers, so the mesh is in contact with the floor slabs. But, too late to correct that now. such are the pitfalls when building a house with limited knowledge of building techniques. Yes, the crew for the roof was different workers. We have had different crews for foundation, posts; roof beams; trusses. Plumbers, and now bricklayers, so 5 different crews so far, and a different crew will do the roof tiles.
@@sunriseinisaan Its seldom in a normal UK house build to use concrete beams,but if used they would be on a firm foundation wall going around the structure, In Thailand they use the posts to support the roof and how often have you seen that ring tied into those posts,usually a hole bored and the rebar shoved into it,That isnt tied in,,To keep the floor together requires the redimix topping with the weldmesh properly installed to give it the strcuctural strenght,As it is ,the floor consists of many panels with the weldmesh now doing more harm than good as its not covered with concrete and will rust causing fisures that water will penetrate,You can build good and cheap in Thailand,but unless sure of the workers you need to have somebody watching over the workmanship,and often the owners maybe havent any building experience but its easy enough to hire somebody,and his cost wil more than be saved in not having to redo botched work,

Yes, and they use their toes to grip the edges of the beam.
@@canuckinisaan8242 lol, reminds me of my wife that she will pick up stuff with her toes.
sorry but those trusses are steel, galvanised. not aluminium.
Yes, correct. I’ll blame that error on my inability to read the Thai language on the BOQ.
Hi, nice
How wide is your house for those trusses? Am thinking of doing the same if cheaper.
Thanks. The house is 9 metres wide.
Good luck!

Thanks for watching the video. Yes, you are more than welcome to come by. We would be happy to help.
@@canuckinisaan8242 thanks so much. Can you private message me... I annot find a way to send you a private message.
Check out my build! Maybe it will help.

any idea what the roof cost you?

Why choose irritating music?
don't watch while listening with a headset
That’s a good one. Perhaps not my best music selection.
ขึ้นหลังคาแล้วดูดีมากเลยชอบทรงสวยมากเลยค่ะ
Yes!
The brickwork is terrible,needs demolished and redone staggering the joints this time

100% a 5 year old with Lego could do a better job
