House building ceremony

Then are a good day to start building a house?
We did the same as many others in Thailand, asked a monk, or to be honest, Angs father asked a monk. We got some dates and selected one of them - 2017-11-01 - first day in November.

There is a ceremony this day, where the first pillar of the house was decorated with banana tree leafs, sugarcane, golden shower leaves, morinda citrifolia leaves, jackfruit leaves, a fish trap, loincloth, 9 gold coins (gold colored), 9 silver coins and one more that I don't know the name of!

OK, first pillar done, just need some forms and concrete.
