New Year (2018) - and some plants

Nothing have happened with the building progress over the new year, nearly everyone of the workers went to their homes. Four workers stayed to keep an eye of the material and site - they spend a lot of time fishing and relaxing.
We used their free time to help us plant some trees on the part of the land that will be used as a fruit garden. One old neighbor man explained that he was an expert in planting and was doing most of the planting work.

What kind did we plant?
- Mangoes, mangosteen, longan, longon, rambutan, santol and some trees giving eatable vegetables (like stinking beans). The durian trees will planted later.

Some pictures from today.

Arrival of the roof tiles

The roof tiles arrived today at 06.00 in the morning. No pallet, it looked like they have unloaded the truck manually. They delivered over 4000 tiles! One of the three piles of tiles delivered. Some broken due to the bad handling. Lintels in aluminum to hold the roof tiles. More lintels

Fencing work never ends

Today there was more work done on the fences, I am not sure if I should have more fence pictures - but OK - here are some from the work done today. Between our future fruit-garden (now temporary houses for the labors) and our nabors fruit-garden there will be a more simple fence than on the front. This is in the far end of the land. The nabor on this side have a turtle farm, he is also working in the Tessaban (Comunity Hall). The big bush on the right side of the picture is our Bambu area. (Bambu is a grass). Here you can see some of our very small fruit-trees To the right is our nabors fruit-trees To our left is a non-sold piece of land, just nothing right now. Anyone want to buy? The fence is strong here in the front. There is still some work before it's ready. We will keep a small road on this side of the house for transports to the fruit-garden on the back. Front Still much to do The fence is quite long - 115 meters on...
