Re: Building a house in Cambodia - useful tips

A couple of items popped up in that last post. Stairs- treads and risers dimensions don’t appear to be a concern, here. More than a few places, the risers are inconsistent height, making negotiation interesting in blackouts, and stair angles a little too steep, with treads sized for 8yr old feet. B...

parting words

@gonk when you pander to the few, you lost the support of many, free speech is double edged sword, there is no two ways about it, you cannot defend yourself or this forum as a platform with free speech when you decide which or what part of the speech to censure. @ the people who think that your poli...
