RE: ---Is there a bit of light at the end of the tunnel?--Project front wall and gate in Thailand--Part 4
Certainly looks like a nice house, and the wall looks nicely organised too. But, I am worried you have a lot of hummidity there, are you heading for a lot of maintenance too? Also, what does something like this cost? Looks fairly expensive house. Will you be living there forever now?
thanks a lot.it is very humid here,like Darwin....there shoudnt be too much of maintenance at the moment....
i have made a blog on teakdoor.com....i give you the link(didnt i give it to you already?!...who cares....

it is a expensive house for thai standards,yes.we wanted to use quality materials, instead of cheap shit....lol......better bricks,windows,roof tiles,insulation etc etc
about 250'000 AUD.....well i need BTC at half a million right now...then i could live here forever.......
we will move around october back to CH....we made this decision long time ago....our boy needs to learn swiss german and then go to school there....
Urs, thanks for your reply, so interesting my good friend. What will you do with the house when you move to CH? Rent it out? Also, do you still have a house in Australia? Will you need to find new work in CH?
Or got your own business? 250.000,-- AUD sounds a very legitimate price. I took a look at the PD House website since you had mentioned it. At this point I would like to maybe discuss some things about "passive house" with you. You know, in Australia there is a huge gap. People don't know how to build a house. The Australian house is a "thermal bridge" with holes in it. Pity you don't have bandwidth, I would like to show so many videos. Your house project looks very wet earth. Holy moly. Please take a look at this: http://www.geocell-schaumglas.eu/
no worries at all...thanks Jegor.
my wife's parents gonna look after it.they just live around the corner,not even a 100 meters away.
our condo in BKK is rented out and an agency is looking for that,which is based/has an office in the condo itself.
i never had a house in AUS,was too expensive already when i came in 2006.
no mate i have to find work again in CH. im still in good contact with my old boss...if there is any work,i can go back there anytime.
once im in switzerland,im gonna have good internet connection.please remind me then again and i can have a good look at all the videos.
yeah i saw that many times when i started as a TA in AUS-housebashing...putting the cables in the walls and cavity..WA regulation i think...
Minergy and Passivhaeuser are very trendy in CH...very interessting this geocell stuff....
yes the soil is more clay like.that was why we wanted the house to start/begin in the dry season....which worked out well...
