Popular Post klubex99 Posted May 10, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) 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. Edited May 10, 2013 by klubex99 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post David48 Posted May 10, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted May 10, 2013 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 ... . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaggy1969 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Had to come back for another look today. Yep,still made me smile..... I think tambourines should be made compulsory on all building sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sayonarax Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Nothing new, they did this at my house because the pile driver created to much vibration and causes your rendering to crack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johna Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Go back in 6 months, and count the cracks in whatever they are building. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesdoe1234 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayned Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Most likely the method they used for the pilings in the building in Ransit that is leaning a little! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djlest Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 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.

Card Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belg Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retell Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotary Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Boy that ground is soft, they better connect another pile and drive it a bit deeper! ha ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asupeartea Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Ingenious and looks like fun. Add a little heavy beat karaoke and the whole neighborhood can get in on it. Hmmmmmm......
