a wise man once said: "a little less conversation, a little more action"


Groundbreaking ceremony at Baan Sai Ma! (photo courtesy of Wikipedia)

Our grading contractor started moving (and adding) dirt this morning at 9am. A few unfortunate coconut trees and a disquieting-ly large termite hill had to be sacrificed. Our contractor said it was bad luck to destroy a termite's nest during the course of building our own, but we figured that if given the chance, they would do exactly the same to us.


4000 cubic meters of fill (!!!) will take Wall-E (pictured above) about 12 days to move, deposit, and compact... We'll post more photos as the work progresses, as we will be on site daily.
