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

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

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

Consumer Unit mediumConsumer Unit (pre equipped), steel box, for 4 circuits, eg; Lighting, wall sockets, water heater, air con.
Brand: Safe-T-Cut
Equipment: 2-pole 32A master, minature RCBO with variable senitivity, 2 16A MCBs, 2 10A MCBs
Price: about 1,800 bahtjazzman

Louvered window (kitchen).This 2 x 1 m louvered window is constructed of the same heavy duty aluminium used for all the windows and exterior sliding and hinged doors. We insisted on quality winder mechanisms. The glass is 6mm one-way, reflective, black UV. It includes sliding fly screens. Can't say the cost - it was offered as a free bonus by our supplier, guess it's worth about 8,000 baht; just because we are farangs, not everything of quality has to be expensive or made by a large company in a big city.jazzman

Rear patio doorMade the same way as the front sliding door in top quality aluminum without a floor rail. See more about doors & windows on the forum.jazzman

Bathroom wall tiles.Been trying for several days to get cheap tiles, but the prices seem to have gone up considerably since I built my house. I really wanted white, but I was not prepared to pay 160 baht / m2 or more for the cheapest plain white tiles I could find. I was able to negotiate 123 baht / m2 for 54 m2 of these very light green ones.
It is not necessary to render the walls first.jazzman
