My final view of the house before having to return to the UK. Actually I am very pleased with the progress that has been made over the past 13 weeks - but don't tell the builder I said that.Thaifu TMar 11, 2007

How NOT to hang a door - these hinges stand out from the door by at least half an inch, I will not repeat my comments to the builder.Thaifu TMar 11, 2007

Tiles are delivered. Metal battens are to the right of the tiles. Note the cockerel in the cage. For those unfamiliar with this neck of the woods (sorry) 'Chicken Boxing, as my g/f calls it (aka Cock Fighting) is very popular in Thailand - it's even televised. Before you report me to the RSPCA, the birds do not have spurs attached and to the best of my knowledge do not get killed. I later demanded they were taken from site.Thaifu T

Working on finishing the roof. The walls are getting their first coat of paint. The earth in the foreground has just been delivered, will be used for making the garden (this is a bit early but it is currently 'earth moving season' in KK; everyone in the village seems to be doing it now in preparation for the rain to start)Thaifu T

A more general view of the patio. Also adding concrete surrounds to all windows. The patio ceiling used a different gypsum board, one that does not disintegrate in the rain (I hope).Thaifu T

Getting ready for the first floor concrete. Steel re-inforcing being laid over the slabs.Thaifu T

Looking across the living room towards the front door. Through the arch is the kitchen.Thaifu T

Kitchen with three walls tiled, waiting for plumbing to be added to far wall. Ceiling now erected - using standard gypsum board.Thaifu T

|

Exterior now rendered and primer applied. Now adding bricks to the columns to increase the size. This was going to be the car port but will now be another patio (or GRAND entrance if I want to be a snob)Thaifu T
