....might need stitches, lets see if it swells enough in a few days to jon the skin back together naturally.

Stitches.....LOL...you big girl.....superglue the cut back together....that what real roughy toughy construction workers do, your letting the side down Basil

Glue, stitches? Meh...Spit on it and let it sort itself out. Chicks dig scars.

The toe healed fine...thanks for all the concern.

Bit of a dilemma today....build was going well, put the roof on which consists of the mesh wire, then steel sheet metal to protect from rain....then some wood frame and then the thatch nailed to that wood.

Finished all of the thatch today bar the bottom section....stood bak looking proudly at it and bugger me....a light bulb went on....

I had built this thing in the carport for shade and to protect the steel from the rain until I could get it painted....the roof frame is 2.65m wide and the carport around the edge is only 2.2m high.....the centre roof of the carport is much higher.....now I cannot get it out.

[stoneyboy]

Cut it up and start again.

Okay, dumb question. Is the fit so tight that you can't lay it over on one side .. or is it over 2.2 m across?

[necronx99]

I really think we need some pictures of this conundrum.
There may be some tetris fans here who can work it out.

I built it on its side....its 2.65m wide and 3.3m tall...or long now.

I blame the kids....prior to the week long school hols I could move it in and out from the carport...but then I got carried away and added bits....kids helping, paint everywhere...the technicalities just went woosh..

[samsiam]

Technical assistance coming tomorrow....the rice farmers from up the road are coming....they are good at wrecking shit.

[samsiam]

Got it out...tis now free standing outside.....70% complete.

[samsiam]

Nearly finished....they dont call me speedy for nothin.

Thin rods, low amps.

Mig is great but expensive lay out and takes some time to sort stuff out. get gas, wire speed and amps right, but when you do, heaven.

[poanoi]

with so thin material, it's easier to just melt it together with gas & a stick,
even the stick is uneccessary in some circumstances

Yes it's possible to fuse the two together but this will lack strength.

[samsiam]

Pics to come in all its glory when finished....any day now.

Monkey house warming party on saturday.

[transam]

You don't need a welder, you need a ball of string.

[samsiam]

Well they love their new home....chillin back on the bamboo lounge in the mornin sun.

No signs of masturbation for a few days now.....maybe he will get around to some rumpy pumpy with her.

I went in with them on sunday...left them saturday alone to settle in.....the boy jumped on my arm and would not let go...raped me arm he did....shaggin away....I have hairy arms.....think he is firing blanks though......then the little shit bit me....he likes it rough.

So what was the cost for your hospital bills ?.....did you factor this cost into your total construction costs of your monkey house ?

Funny you should mention this.....just on saturday had to have intravenous antibiotic needle and some dead flesh cut away from a little knock during the build that became infected and blood poisoning about to settle in......2700b....but knocked it down to 1700baht.

OK, I'm about to start a 72m2  flat roof.... have brought everything and assumed the welding would be a piece of cake....  But have the same problems! It must be doable because it's how the house and car port roof were constructed as well! THink I might see if I can find some 1.6mm rods though, should be easy-ish in Chiang Mai???

[StefanBBK]

It is possible. In our business we do that all the time.
Lowest amps, move quickly. If you burn a hole, move accross.
