Month: April 2017

Technician team started with the installation of the solar cells today.
The panels are mounted on steel rails and will cover about half the roof. After setting them up we should finally have off-grid electricity.

Slow start after the Thai Holidays. Generator is still in repair but some essential materials have arrived… Solar System, Tiles for the bathroom, Toilets, Sinks and Fans.

Mae Hong Son is very dry and hot in March/April. Work has been going slow as the generator keeps breaking down but the workers could install the railing for the stairs and the open space. They will also install it on the balconies and it will be covered with wood. Very happy that the stairs are nearly finished as it makes all the other work logistics in the building easier. Now the workforce is leaving for a ten day Songkran Holiday. After that hopefully things speed up.

Steel construction of the stair case is done and wooden steps are getting attached.

Cement toppings for the floors are done & dry. They carved out lines for the window frames. Now more work in progress at the staircase. Some wood and paint for the stairs also arrived. Hopefully the welding will be done in a few days to finish up the stairs.
