We are still making forward progress on our new home despite having nearly depleted all non-Hive financial assets, and rich Phnom Penh folk continue to use our land for pee stops with or without consent.
⛩ Gate More Than Needed 👨🏭
Kind of ironic that when I took these pics I didn't know that trespassers would soon remind me of the reason I need this gate. At the moment there are only brothers-in-law working on our home project. They recently from a 4-man team to a 3-man team because my nephew-in-law had an opportunity to get hired and receive training to work in automotive factory. After Bong Kaev joined the crew things have become much easier because he has many tools and machines that make everything easier, especially the welder.
🤴 A New Throne 🚽
I think I already shared a picture of this throne toilet before, and for now it still patiently waits outside the home for an installation. We have a working toilet in the bathroom, but lid is the wrong size and we can find no replacement, plus it has no flush tank. Because of this situation we waste a lot of water flushing the toilet with a dipper, so the modern upgrade should result in easier deuces/tinkles, and less water pumping trips to the river.
The Chinese Tuk-Tuk 🛺
My brother-in-law Bong Kaev has a tuk-tuk also, but his is a cargo bed version, so it makes transporting many things much easier than mine. There is a pickup truck version of my diesel tuk-tuk, but with only one seat for the driver, my family wouldn't have liked that purchase much. Bong Kaev drove this tuk-tuk from Takeo to here so he could arrive with all his tools, and I am surprised this Chinese tuk-tuk made it.
The engine is so loud that you can barely hear the exhaust, sounds a bit like someone shaking nuts and bolts inside a coffee can. The build quality between the Indian and Chinese tuk-tuks available here is very easy to see. This beast requires additional cooling from a slow-drip water jug located to the right-hand side of the driver. A small hose lets water fall drip by drip on the cylinder head until the jug, providing a bit of a radiator experience, also the norm for most motorcycle with trailer combos.
Trespassing Poopers 🚽
While trying to create a post, I suddenly noticed some obviously Phnom Penh rich folk strangers enjoying the view from my cabin's veranda. I assumed they were invited by someone, perhaps my wife or in-laws, but nope, just some rich folks from the capital that helped themselves to our property and bathroom without our consent. The icing on the cake is that when they left they asked my wife where the owner was, and she mentioned it was hers. They responding by asking her if she just holds the land for someone else and works here.
I think the rich folk talked to her in this way because my wife was helping with the construction work and dressed in normal clothes, not the typical idea of what a Cambodian person from Phnom Penh imagines a fellow landowner to look like. Not only did the VIPs poop in our bathroom without taking their muddy shoes off , they also helped themselves to a full tour of the land while waiting for fellow VIP crappers and pissers. The level of entitlement rich Cambodians have is mind-boggling sometimes, these same kind of folks are the ones driving massive SUVs, cutting corners on the highway while driving 120 km/h and leaving me with a half meter of shoulder to drive on while they honk to let everyone know VIPs need them to clear the road.
