Green House Motel

This album documents the build of our motel which is destined to create work for my wife & her family, and earn money for me to import tea, wine, and cheese.
It's a low-budget construction the way the Thais build their modern houses.

KItchen view 3jazzmanOct 28, 2010

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

bTicino 1-hole escutcheonThe base plates all have three holes. This is a single hole escutcheon with a rocker switch with LED. We tried several methods of showing the workers how to paint stuff in the house without getting paint everywhere. We tried masking tape on the window and door frames, we tried removing these escutcheons but the men put them back on. During the night Jazzman removed them, covered them with 'Gladwrap' cling foil and put them back on. We'll see what happens...jazzman

Office Detailjazzman

EinweihungThe house was blessed: everyone paraded round the house three times, holy water was splashed amply around then everyone into the house to deposit gifts on the bed in the master bedroom. Candles were lit and holy string tied round our wrists. More mumbo jumbo, and we moved in and spent our first night there.jazzman

PorchThe gable end is covered with the same cream coloured 3" SHERA board that will be used for the soffit. The drainpipes for the Tuscan pillars can be clearly seen. They will be clad when we get an idea of what with- probably light green mosaic tiles.
