Good to see that he laid the door flat, this avoids warping and the catch as you call it is known as the 'Keep' well at least in the UK anyway. Good to see the progress i've followed this all the way, well done sir.
Man! It's starting to look so awesome!! Love your choices for the doors (and tiles!)! I agree with you about the bathroom doors. Probably would never be a problem. And I also agree with getting those outside pipes deeper. I didn't like it when they did it (I know you didn't either). Keep up the good work!!
Nice progress so far 👍. Youre well is 53 mtrs deep , and (by my knowledge ) its to deep to pump up the water with a manuel pump . That would be a nice backup if electricity is down for a long time .
I measured my unrestricted well at 33 GPM it has run for 30-40 consecutive minutes during high usage and has never run out so the recovery is definitely somewhere more than 33GPM.
Have those painters hit that well assembly on the outside to soften the look. You gotta love Thai construction- destroy an area already done to build an area! Your interior doors are great!
Hello Kenny, I usually back flush mine every 7 days. Have you had your water test yet? Make sure your wooden doors edges are sealed so they don’t tweak on you.Take care
@@ParadiseNThailand It looks like your doors are stained, make sure stain covers the edges well and put a coat of clear to cover the edges, believe me I learned the hard way.
a lot of work as it all begins to wrap up...and so if I'm reading that right...your bypass switch that manually starts the pump again, could actually have another pipe, maybe a T, with a valve of course, that goes outside for just well water for like a garden hose...am I right?...because that's what I need to do...
My wife is from Thailand and we are going to retire in 7 years or less. At this moment, we live in Oregon but the cost of everything keeps going up. After the sale of my house and cars and most of everything will be around 500k us dollars plus 2800 a month from retirement.
Normally you need to redrill the well every couple of years but i think you cant get the drill truck back in as you made a wall next to it....just a thought
@@ParadiseNThailand pumps have a life here of around 2-3 years and generally speaking USA wells are lined...here in Thailand they only put a 4 meter piece of oipe at the top of the well so over time the well fills in.
I looked into this a number of years ago as my wife and I wanted to buy land in the village where her family lives in Surin province. Area 1 Rai 0.395369 Acre Formula for an approximate result, divide the area in acres by 2.529 to give you 1 rai. Hence, 1 rai is equal 0.3954132068 acres. Personally, I work with 1 acre is 2.5 rai when rounded down.
I think it's too late but they always make counters with no overhang so when you wipe stuff off you can't get a cloth underneath and catch it. Very annoying design without much foresight.

Thanks Mickman,appreciate you watching and commenting.
Hate to state the obvious, but, It's def looking more like a home. Kudos
Thanks Tim. We are down to weeks or even days to completion.
Coming together…looking good…
Thanks RJ, very busy lately.

Depends on what his static and recovery is.
Plan is to install a solar well near the pond next year.
I measured my unrestricted well at 33 GPM it has run for 30-40 consecutive minutes during high usage and has never run out so the recovery is definitely somewhere more than 33GPM.

Thanks Greg. Good idea on the well. I'll do that. Was contemplating a cover, box or some other cloaking method.
@@ParadiseNThailand Paint is better. A box just gives you another Gecko Hotel.
Morning Kenny. Another great video. It's almost there, looking good.
Thanks Paul
Enjoyed your video thanks. Looking like everything is almost done that's got to feel pretty darn good.
.....and the videos are about 5 days in cue, so we are closer than it looks here.
Reminder for the external swinging doors make sure they seal the bottom of the door to keep bugs out and air in
On my list, shortly after they get out of my way. thanks tommy
Nearly there, Kenny, well done. Pop in for a beer when you hit Pattaya. Soi 13/1 🍻
We'll do. Ill try to remember which video that address is with!
I just screenshot your location. See you in a few weeks!

Hello Kenny, I usually back flush mine every 7 days. Have you had your water test yet? Make sure your wooden doors edges are sealed so they don’t tweak on you.Take care
Not tested yet, other than my Lazada test strips. Sealed with what kind of sealer? Your suggestion please.
@@ParadiseNThailand It looks like your doors are stained, make sure stain covers the edges well and put a coat of clear to cover the edges, believe me I learned the hard way.
Should install you a generator with a transfer switch for those power issues
That's the plan. It's wired and ready except i do not like the transfer switches the way they installed them.
Hi. Cool house. You'll deserve your break by the beach. Have a question in your French drain, where did you get the perforated pipe from?
By chance, small pipe store near by has it. I think they use it for flood irrigation.
a lot of work as it all begins to wrap up...and so if I'm reading that right...your bypass switch that manually starts the pump again, could actually have another pipe, maybe a T, with a valve of course, that goes outside for just well water for like a garden hose...am I right?...because that's what I need to do...
Yes, but would not want to shut off your hose and deadhead the pump. Im not willing to take that risk.
Door looks weird to me. The deadbolt and knob are usually reversed. Handle is across door lite and less clearance
Never noticed, but i will look in the morning. Thanks

You should be good with that. Thanks for watching, and suggest you get here ASAP!
Normally you need to redrill the well every couple of years but i think you cant get the drill truck back in as you made a wall next to it....just a thought
Why redrill? I had a 20 yo well in the US, 15 years ago. Not aware that it was every redrilled, and was not the 5 years i was there.
@@ParadiseNThailand pumps have a life here of around 2-3 years and generally speaking USA wells are lined...here in Thailand they only put a 4 meter piece of oipe at the top of the well so over time the well fills in.
How will you pull up the submessive pump if there is a fault?
And if you need water fracking when/of the well stop producing enough water?
In the next video, you will hear that we just pulled the well this week for a loose wire.....again!
sorry kenny just seen the four hinges on the wooden doors
Saw both comments. Thanks Terrence
FYI
I don't know about the US acre size.
1 UK acre is 2.5 rai in Thailand..
Someone else pointed that out also. I was thinking 1.8 rai = 1 acre. Wrong!
I looked into this a number of years ago as my wife and I wanted to buy land in the village where her family lives in Surin province.
Area

Formula for an approximate result, divide the area in acres by 2.529 to give you 1 rai.

Personally, I work with 1 acre is 2.5 rai when rounded down.
and for everybody in the modern, metric world one rai=1600 sq.m. 😀
Quite correct
kenny would of liked to see four hinges on them solid doors
Saw your other comment. So yes we are ok.
FYI..... 1 Acre = 2.53 Rai
hmm, was thinking 1.8 rai was an acre, must have gotten crossed up somewhere. Thanks
@@ParadiseNThailand Easy find on google. When I bought my land I wanted to know how many Rai made an Acre......🙏
Sorry- new to the channel. Where in Isaan are you? I live in Roi Et.
Yes Isaan. Khun Han, Sisaket Provience.
@@ParadiseNThailand Wow! I taught at Khu Khan Primary school years ago
@@pennyjedi i think thats about 25 km from here. Never been there, but is near us!
