Good News

I just came back from the second visit from Surat. We were there to check out the construction progress.
(First visit were during May3rd to May5th for the title deed transferred.)
We drove from Bangkok to Surat on May28th and backed on May30th.

During the past month from April15th to May28th, the construction were progressing slowly.
The contractor didn't give it a full attention due to their other commitment.
But they promised that from now on, we will have their full attention as their other sites have been completed.

During our trip, we inspected the quality of the contractor's work and were not very satisfied with the quality of their workmanships. We found many cracks on the cement floor and informed them to be more careful for the next time.
As my husband is a civil engineer by profession, he advised them on how it happened and how to prevent and correct these cracks.

Today,June 3rd, they will work on the first floor columns.

Good news we heard today is that, the road in front of our land is currently a very narrow and unpaved road.
But today, many contractors from local authorities came to the area to widen the road and next step is to pave the current dirt road into a cement road, wow!

We hope that our Bird House will be finished at about the same time as the cemented road.
That would be very nice, right?

The cement road have now completed, as a public project this was surprisingly fast!
My BH, a private project is still going so.... slowly.







Rainy season is coming, there are now water in the pond. Thank God that we finished our first floor beam before the heavy down pour. Otherwise our beam would have strength problem as all the wooden supports were stood on the harden soil.

Jun 18th, the second floor beam.
