Surin Legend
I'm looking to build, or have built for me, a Garden Bridge. I would prefer wood but would consider plastic decking if appearance is not an issue.
Looking for someone to build.
Example of the sort of design I'm looking to have built:
The span would be approx. 4 meters.
I've let the Wife handle the last two times and despite photographs of what I want, I get pallets flat across. Thus, I'm leaving Wife out of the equations this time as I believe she is sabotaging the project to a) get it done cheap, or b) get it done in metal.
What I got last time.
"He says he no know how."
"Then send him away and get someone else."
"We do our way. You like." Then a young nephew put his foot through it 6 months after 'construction'. Wife thinks everything is good with bamboo and bailing wire. NO MORE!
We are in a small Ban about an hour East of Surin. The only people she or the family knows or talks to are the equivalent of day laborers. In my mind not even rising to the lofty status of Handyman.
Please. Looking for someone skilled in woodworking enough to make sense of and to be able to read these. Her contacts always arrive with their hands out for 100% of the supplies and the expectation that I teach them how to do their job.
I could do it, not fast, and with a few false starts, but can do it. Circular saw, drill, and tape measure and you're there. Better with better tools of course. And I'd need a source of Redwood, Cedar, or similar in the appropriate sizes. Thai Watsadu just blinks in confusion and walks away. (Usually you can't shake 'em)
Everyone tells me not to do 'work' for fear of losing visa. And believe me when I say, "I'm lazy" and would prefer to sit on my Kiester but am not going to live with THAT any longer.
Other designs that meet the aesthetic are welcome but MUST be constructed using weather resistant materials.
