Before you build a house in Thailand, plan ahead!!

Landscaping, boundary fencing and planting of hedges/trees.
I had a clear vision of the end result when I bought this land. This is about 8 months in. Please subscribe if you would like to watch our progress with all the 'ups and downs' and costs!!!

You have some good plans and ideas wish i had thought and planned to plant trees 20 years ago

[@fondavesthailandadventures5366]

Thanks mate, planning tree planting and hedges, etc. is something I have been doing all my life on the farm. I'll be 1 or 2 years ahead once the house is built!!!

Do you find your vision still evolves as you move deeper into it. I know ours regularly do...lol

[@fondavesthailandadventures5366]

Yes I do, especially as things are moving quickly with the neighbours and there house building. I am lucky to be at the end of road and have a large lot running down to the canal. Plenty of space, is what I am used to.....

[@johntheaccountant5594]

I see that the posts you bought for your shed are the ones for a wooden roof frame. My advise would have been to build the roof with steel as opposed to wood. I would have then made the building size 12m x 6m because the steel comes in 6 metre lengths so you have less cuts and less wastage.

[@fondavesthailandadventures5366]

The roof is steel. Metal can be welded, so no waste. Multiples of 3m is common place. Thank you

Do you plant your tree by yourself or do you pay someone to do it ? Do you use a machine to dig the hole for tree ?

[@travelguideandphotography1537]

sorry the accent has me... are you saying "tea" or "teak" trees... i've done the same as you with planting avocado, mango, custard apple trees, yellow trumpet trees, lemon, lime trees, papaya trees, one bamboo as it will get huge and a few others along with lemongrass around the pond as snakes hate lemongrass and so do mosquitoes

[@fondavesthailandadventures5366]

Haha, proud to British. I was saying Teak. We have some Avocado, Mango, yellow bell, yellow trumpet, lemon, chili, Papaya, bamboo. I have also planted lemon grass along the canal shore line. Check this video out, if you want. kzbin.info/www/bejne/emmrcoyPrJyXe7c
