I have seen lots of different 'bushfix' methods since I have been in Thailand. Most of them developed to avoid the heavy costs of buying or hiring expensive equipment.

This one is a favourite of mine. Who needs to hire a pile driver?

Sorry, That was meant to say Boundaries in the title.

Thanks for sharing,am still smiling now

Made my Day much better

Brill', thanks for sharing.

All the above +1

A great clip about Thai resourcefulness.

Earlier this year someone posted the same clip in the Building Forum and then others posted similar ones from Thailand there also.

Here was my contribution ...

If that was a job ad ... I would have hired him.

Lot's more Thai examples here at ... amazing-thai-style-construction in the Building Forum.

I'd forgotten about that clip ... thanks for sharing it again ...

That's actually fairly routine, David. A lot of guys opt to do that if they have a dump truck that qualifies for that much weight.

Here's a backhoe that's been altered with shoes so it can run along a bunch of railroad cars and unload them.

Had to come back for another look today.

Yep,still made me smile.....

I think tambourines should be made compulsory on all building sites.

Absolutely fantastic. Actually made me laugh out loud.

Nothing new, they did this at my house because the pile driver created to much vibration and causes your rendering to crack.

Go back in 6 months, and count the cracks in whatever they are building.

That was <deleted> quality. Seen similar but not all working to the same beat with a tambourine. Still smirking now... Thanks for that, probably the first positive thread I've opened on tv.

Most likely the method they used for the pilings in the building in Ransit that is leaning a little!

Fantastic! Loved it... just glad its not my house. lol.
Actually pile drivers seriously caused harm to my house when they were used next door, cracks in every wall and tiles falling off and water leaks, they don't half vibrate the footings of everything else surrounding it.

Yes, I once saw this but couldn't take a video - isn't it marvelous? Makes all this suffering in Thailand so worth it. Sometimes Thailand has amazing surprises.

great

if people would see how their house is built, concrete pilars made with a small miny iron rod bended at the same place, can covered with wood from the sides and then comes the cement truck, but they fill it bucket by bucket ...

pay 5 million of a small house, that sadly will never last more than a few years before the cracks appear, the sagging into the ground, etc...

not worth at all

I take back everything I have ever said about Thai's not being creative.

creative , in the sense that when thing are needed but not available they come up with the most crazy ideas , and some of those will work , but whoever thought up the idea to put a bush of tree behind your broken vehicle when parked on a road in the complete dark wins a darwin trophy

Boy that ground is soft, they better connect another pile and drive it a bit deeper! ha ha

Ingenious and looks like fun. Add a little heavy beat karaoke and the whole neighborhood can get in on it.

Hmmmmmm...... The seed of an idea for cooperative home building has just come to me.

WOW!!

5 million? Must be a castle!
