Yard Work

Nuch wanted to redo the entrance to the side of our house.  This little corner here.  She asked what the budget was and I said whatever it takes. Big Mistake

I was a bit confused when I came home and these concrete pilings were in the driveway.

With the "unlimited" budget, she decided we needed to redo the driveway and give it a proper foundation.  You can see the mud/ clay in the pictures.  All of Bangkok is built on a sinking floodplain.  Although homes have proper foundations, the surrounding areas usually do not.

 They dug out all these holes by hand with pole augers. 

 Here's how they "nailed" the pilings into the ground

We'll get the new surface next week.

In the meantime, Nuch has started a new project with our neighbor and is replacing our side wall.
