New Home for me

Post by **BobHelm** » November 1, 2006, 1:14 pm

Well, I have finally moved into my home.
Some outside decorating still going on, garden is a builders site & wall not still not started yet - but all things that do not worry me over much.

Now i know why you have been so quiet since you arrived here.With the building finished have you got any classic horror stories to tell?

Congrats Bob, and enjoy.

The roof's on our place, but seems workers are off to harvest rice, LOL.

We still plan to move in januari...

Now how do I insert a pic to show our future home?

The doors are wide, but not for me - I am down to a neat 75 kilo - all the worry I suppose

Horror stories??? Not really the builder/designer was excellent, but over ran time by about 3 months - well this is Thailand & maybe he was always talking about 5 Thai months, not Falang months.....

Ah, sorry, have had the Thai moving in party - but it is always open house, so any time anyone is nearby drop in for sure...

Oh, & I have about 200 pics of every stage of the construction - if anyone wants to buy the CD....

Good Luck Bob,

Like the house and the details the builder has added, now the fun starts with the landscaping and garden.
I would get locks and grills for all those windows.

Hope it looks as good as you hoped it would Bob, well done mate.

Thanks Sean, it is actually much better home than I thought it would be. The way it looks is all down to the builder, not me or she. I was in the UK when they painted it for the first time & the better half tells me on the phone that it is blue, pink and smokey white. I say Oh, and think

hell. But when I saw it I could see that it really works.
Screens & window bars are being worked on at the moment.
Wall has been paid for & material is here but if I see one before the New Year then I will be happy

Landscaping is certainly a very long term project - nearly everything I touch that grows dies very quickly

seems we have the same roof tiles...

How much running meter for perimeter wall?

See how far we are:
