Kitchen view 2The cooker hood was got cheap for 6,500 baht from Home Pro, Udon. Normal price was baht 13,000 but it was in a sale because it had been a demo on a display board in the shop. The two-ring glass cooker hob cost about 4,000 baht (if I remember rightly) from Global House, and the stainless steel double sink and drainer cost about 2,700 complete with tap (faucet), drains, and underneath plumbing pipes and U-bends.jazzmanOct 28, 2010

Kitchen view 1We keep adding bits to this kitchen and it's still not complete. A breakfast bar still has to be built from the left hand side near the fridge to halfway across the archway. And the fridge will be replaced with a side-by-side. Cost: there is about 65,000 baht's worth of KITZCHO?® units. The solid granite counter tops cost about 18,000 baht including installation. jazzmanOct 28, 2010

wall 5Then it fell over. One night of rain was enough. This wall will be rebuilt using correct engineering and correct drainage. Another 40 trucks of dirt will be needed to top up the infill that was washed away. Probable total cost: around 250,000 baht.jazzmanJan 29, 2010

Interlocking Ridge Tiles- and they go together something like this. One has a small radius, and the overlapping one has a larger radius. It's quicker, easier, and cheaper than using capping tiles, although capping tiles would look nicer on a proper house.jazzman

Plasterboard suspension.A lot opf people on site today, electricians installing the consumer units in the rooms and the fans, and the ceiling men working in all the rooms at the same time. We had also started touching up the welds and scratches on the steel with red oxide, but gave up and started digging footings for the perimeter wall instead.
The materials for the ceiling come to almost exactly 100 baht per square metre.
The complete invoice details have been posted on the forum.jazzman
