Phuket Townhouse Renovation


T_house_March_2010_137.jpg

The following pics are of a townhouse renovation started in 2003. The home situated on a golf course in Phuket was completely "Gutted" (Concrete Shell) and rebuilt from the inside out paying lots attention to the details. 7 years latter, the project is still ongoing. (Hobbies are fun.....)
My wife lets me take on one (1) major project/upgrade per year......God bless her.

Cement bathtub in outdoor courtyard/bathroom.I had this 1/2 ton cement bathtub constructed offsite at a factory in Phuket. Because the istallation of the tub is in an outdoor courtyard, we could'nt use a standard prefabricated air-jet fiberglass tub. The sun's U.V. rays would have eaten-up a fiberglass tub inside 6 months.
Have a look at the other folders for how we built it and had it installed.

Cement bathtub.A 2 meter section of this 30cm thick cement wall had to be knocked down and then re-built to get the 1/2 ton bathtub into the courtyard.
We used a truck with a crane in case you're wondering how we did it.

Downstairs BathroomIndoor/Outdoor bathroom. I first saw this stainless steel rain shower spiral, in a magazine in Abu Dhabi where they were asking $2000USD. I tore the page out of the magazine and took it back to the local marina in Phuket where I kept my boat. I had the guys in the stainless steel shop fabricate it for me. My cost: 2,000 Baht. The 500 Baht shower curtain hangs on the stainless steel pipe.
Stairs are solid teak with 25 coats of "Deks Olje" (Aquired at the local marina)
