Mushrooms

Owen and On have just been to visit. She brought up some bags of mushroom mycelium in plastic bags as 'starter kits' for us. Two days later they have started to produce results. The photos shows them at about 3 centimeters long... Will keep monitoring the progress. They are very different to the type we did before. Wait a while and I can then tell you what they taste like.

House Extension Foundations

Well finished the jetty, except for the lights, plastering to steps and replanting etc etc etc. So nearly there. Started on the house extension foundations.

Also with Owen up here we, yesterday visited a Harley Davidson shop. Might be another project in the coming months.

Another thing.  I was on facebook today and found a page on 'Aquaponics Thailand'. Followed it up. Now planning on trip to Bangkok Saturday to the Homes and Garden expo at Impact Conference Centre, to catch up with a few other interested parties. Should be fun.

Vlog 4th Nov 2012

After the Jetty

Well we finished the jetty and added in a few fish to the pond. Evening time we have a small party and lit some lanterns and let off a few fireworks. All good.

Ban Muang progress

Well I last posted about site clearance for our house. But cannot start till 9th November 'lucky day'. So while waiting we build a landing stage in front of our existing house. Its 18 meters long. Started off as 6 meters then we decided to do 12 as all the main steel came in 6 meter lengths it seemed easy to extend. However having decided on 12 we then moved up to 18 meters. The deck is 4 meters wide so 18 x 4 meters is 72 square meters.  Our 2 bedroomed condo in Bangkok is also 72 square meters.  Crazy I know!

Anyway its built. Took 7 days and was a lot of fun. I've since installed a bright light on the under front side of the decking which is great for attracting fish. Lovely to sit out in the evening with the sky full of stars and the light below. Watching the cat fish eating  as we feed them. Helps them grow bigger ready for the Bar B Q.
Hope you enjoy the video/slide show.
