Day 9 – Deciding on Bamboo"},"content":{"rendered":"\n
This is now day 9 (day 5 of actual construction) of our Glamping Geodesic Dome Site and I would describe the building site as having a good thick layer of calm covering well managed progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All the heavy vehicles, including the diggers and tractors, have done their job and left. This has reduced the noise level to virtually nil as well as reducing the dust level back to very breathable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the moment, the focus is on getting the foundations finished including the column posts that will support the Dome Tent decks as well the column posts into the ground for the walkways. We have a little race against time as we really want to finish this before the rains come. We have been lucky as the construction start date coincided with a period of drought. The forecast is for this to continue till Wednesday next week or four days away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So we should be okay…..just.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As with any project, you cant have everything you want on the budget you want (unless you are uber rich obviously which we are not). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We really had our hearts set on having a bamboo walking across our rice-fields to connect to the domes. Recently we have fallen in love with bamboo as a construction material. This inspiration started with seeing beautiful pictures of rice-fields bamboo walkways<\/a> in other countries such a Vietnam, China and Cambodia. Also though it was seeing the stunning architecture using bamboo<\/a> especially in Bali but here in Thailand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
