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

LimeBlock: FishWe put two of these in the wall between the living room and the 'public' bathroom. The blocks are the same size and thickness as the normal glass blocks. These LimeLite blocks cost between 450 B and 600 B each depending what is inside them.

Consumer unitsEach room has its own mini consumer unit with a 32A 2-pole main breaker, a 10A and a 20A MCB. The units cost 500 baht each, fully equipped.
Doing it like this will ensure that if a guest overloads a circuit in the room, only the room breaker(s) will trip and not leave all the rooms in the dark.
The entire building will have a larger consumer unit with an RCCB - of course.
For more details of this and other consumer units, see the Electrical Fittings album.jazzman

EnIn spite of a harmonious design by Mrs Jazzman, the builders managed to use THREE different shades of grout on the floor tiles although the bags were laid out and labelled.jazzman

Roof tileThese composite roof panels are 120 x 50, so it's two for 1 m2. The usual price in GlobalHouse or HomeMart / HomePro is 56 - 59 baht each. We ordered them through our favourite village store and paid 48 baht. The area to be covered by this roof is 140 m2, that's a saving of 2,500 baht. All these little savings add up.jazzman

Socket used in the motel.This brand is cheaper than the bTicino?® I used in the house. But it is still not the cheapest.
Not the cling film to protect them from scratches and paint.
The escutcheons will be removed for painting the walls. Most workers don't think to do this and get paint everywhere.d.jazzman
