Strike

Nek claims his boys are on strike, something to do with not wanting to get up in the morning. There'd been no progress on the brick walls, but he and Big were making some headway on the gypsum walls. The girls were still desultorily sweeping floors. Still, the bedroom is starting to look like more of a room. Nek dreams of moving to the country and planting trees for the paper mill. To do that he reckons he needs 3 million baht to get him through the first five years till he can harvest his trees. These will fetch, he thinks, about 10 million, and so on.

He claims he's off to Lopburi tonight to fetch a builder who can plaster the walls. I'll put up some pictures when it's done; these photos of unfinished walls are really remarkably boring.
