I had to laugh when you said I had to give up on that question, there has been so many questions I had to give up on when I travel to thailand 😂. Its all part of the experience.
G'day Kenny and Sompit. Aor was thinking of knockdown as a guest quarters at our place. It's still on the cards. Underneath is very cool most of the year.
I have some old video of my Knockdown being delivered and set up. Interesting pulley system they use to get the house off the trucks and into the air. Need to show you guys next time we see you. 🤠
I have one I had built the same time I built the main house. I use it as my “get away” it has a tv, reasonable sound system comfy couch and air conditioning. The only downside is it is 3 or 4 degrees warmer that outside….hence the air conditioner. It’s just a single room no kitchen or toilet. It’s about 5 meters x 3 meters
I considered one for our main house, but Sompit was set against it. My only real concern was the heat transfer through the wood walls with no insulation, and I think you just confirmed my concern.
@@ParadiseNThailand I always look forward to your videos. I could see you getting one of those knock down homes as a Sala for your upcoming fish pond(s)
In NZ and AUS we refer to the use of re-purposed building material as "Recycled". "Knockdown" is more apt as a type of prefabricated technique. Arch 101 lesson done and dusted. 55555
Hey Wayne In US they started calling it re-purposed wood. The term just wasn't coming to mind for most of that video. My understanding now is that knockdown here refers to the type you can pull back apart and move it to a new location for reassembly.
Pretty cool homes. Thanks for the video.
Yes, I suggested one here, but Sompit said, "absolutely not!"
Great video, Kenny! Thanks for taking the time...
Thanks Joe,
We'll try to do one more knockdown video in the near future. As always, Thanks for watching.
Sompit….is the Google girl…555 ok thanks Kenny…..😊 10:32

Yes, I have grown used to it. If it's not important, let it go.

Considering the same, but not sure who would want to come visit the rice fields of Isaan!
Another good visit Kenny Mr Don 🙃
Thanks Mr Don. Couple travel videos coming, but minimal touristy stuff.
Great little places for visitors….
I will find out next trip, lol.

I may talk to that lady and ask her to notify us so I can video that process.
Yeah she was just saying that the small houses raised suffer from wind and don’t look good anyway….
Sompit explained that after the fact, now I know.
I worked with wood for forty years. I came to Thailand to retire, not to maintain a wooden house! 😂
Amen! Agree 100%

Thanks for this Kenny. Too bad Uncle Craig wasn't with you.
Thanks Todd,
By chance, we just met with him today. Thanks for watching.

@@toddhendley67 Thanks Todd, I have already put that thought out there. So far I got a "WHY?", lol.

@@ParadiseNThailand It never ceases to amaze me the Thai adherence to re-useability. Even after 50 years of coming here.
