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.

Community water

Perfect timing. The community have started to dig and mount water pipes right outside my fence, so I will get water from both the well and the community = no future water problems!

Many bars

Back to work, Today the workers done many rebar "cages" after delivery of materials and a rebar machine. The three cages that was done before was made of 16 mm rebar that was a leftover from their last work. Now the rebar is 12 mm (as planned). Some pictures:
