This in Japan or NZ?

[Headbanger]

Going by the size of those builders it would have to be Japan...........or Lilliput.

Japan

hey don't knock the workers , I promised them their own room ,,,,if they built the house ,,,,, no laws here about employing the under fives

I would be very careful! In those pics it appears the builders have put the floor 90 degrees out of level! Be OK when you are leaning up against the wall but any other time could be dodgy esp using the crapper!

[Brian d marge]

but what do you builder types think of the style of construction

it looks braced in X and Y

All wood ,,, but with brick cladding

Stephen

Laser cutting wood?

Somehow that sounds "dangerous".

(Or was that just the steel bits...?)

I think you've got it worngA - I think it's just that his camera is broken and can only take sideways photos. It would explain why the elves in one of the photos are sideways (unless of course, they're special sideways elves designed for working on walls. (Those Japs are clever making weird things like that. Probably summat to do with sideways procreation...

Sure hope you don't get earthquakes where you are - don't think it looks too strong. That's why in NZ we use steel bracing. And not many of our houses fall down when the earth moves..... unless they are 100 years old :laugh:

Felt that here in Taiwan as well, books were shaking on the shelves a bit and my computer chair was rolling around a bit with me on it.

Some of my favorite TV shows here in Taiwan are from Japan actually. One is they go in and completely gut and fix old homes. Granted I don't understand a word of the Japanese but it's got Chinese subtitles so I can practice, and well, look at how construction is done there.

You guys plan to do the interior yourselves or hire an interior designer?

[Laava]

Looks good to me Stephen. [as a builder]

[Brian d marge]

As part of my job i use 3d cad so I drew the house and then lit the missus loose

it amazing she ( I suspect women ) have no concept of distance , 200mm has nothing to do with the color of the kitchen unit

but in all honestly it sved a bit of dosh

I use a Quick sketch type program that allows me to move stuff around really quickly to get a feel for what it will look like

Stephen

I have another will post later

Why is there a skeleton in the first pic? Did it fall out of the closet?

Looks OK to me. The steel bracing in NZ and Oz is crap! In the Kawerau quake in the late 70's, the only house to collapse were the steel braced ones.... Ply and timber are the way to go.
