MPR....

The thought of being driven by the building staff is really a horrible thought that is a good reason to scream like a girl.

[dirtydog]

I quite agree Fabian, especially in my own car, could you just imagine the cement dust he would get on my lovely leather bucket seat? his dirty sticky hands touching my lovely steering wheel, his dirty hands touching my lovely electronic controls for the mirrors and windows and all that stuff, it would be a foking nitemare, anyway I went into the jungle today, now why the fok backpackers pay money for jungle tours I have no idea, luckily I didn't come across any nasty animals, I think my staff have eaten them all, I am thinking of buying a little bit of that jungle and putting my staff there, at least then they can continue on their frenzy of killing these nasty critters, I mean who the fok wants poisonous animals coming onto their land, ok the benifits of living next to a jungle is the temperature is maybe 5 degrees cooler at night, but hell who wants to die from some poxy snake biting you.

Anyway here's a nice picture of the finished bamboo hammock.

[dirtydog]

It never ceases to amaze me what Thais can make out of old junk, I mean who would have thought about using bamboo as guttering, when it rains the water runs down the roof onto the bamboo and into one of those big clay pots, the worse thing is that they drink this.

[dirtydog]

So today I was aimlessly wandering round the land, the orchard which used to have puddles everytime it rained seems to have been sorted out by putting the trees in there, Now we got puddles every where else on the poxy land, the 2 walls we have built are nearly complete, I shall probably stick barb wire on the top of them so if any burgular gets in they cant escape from the dogs too easily, dogs need exercise and it's good sport for them, obviously if they did catch a burgular I would keep him as a slave for a year or two, ankle chains would probably stop him escaping, he could start with cleaning the windows in this room, as I look out at my beautiful view of the sun setting over the sea I realise that my windows probably haven't been cleaned this year, maybe time to bring up the subject of a nice young maid again with the galfriend actually looking round this room it is more like a slum dwelling, it's all a complete mishmash of crappy furniture and classy furniture, hi tech pcs, old dead pcs, I have just noticed we have 5 foking fans in this room plus the aircon, infact I have one of those water/ice fans with a fan on top of it, I mean that's just totally ridiculous, I have just taken a picture of it and will post it in a minute.

Anyway back to the reason I started this post, I had actually forgot that a lot of Thai people wash their clothes by hand, on my wanders I saw this bowl with clothes in and remembered that most Thais cannot afford a washing machine, so I have decided to give the staff me old twin tub beasty, damn I am nice

[dirtydog]

hmmmm, red fan on top of a grey cooling fan thingy unit, I mean I can't remember buying a foking red fan, I mean who the fok would want a red fan in their place? ok I got 2 blue cieling fans in here with lights, 2 grey fans, and a red one, I mean what went wrong there?

[Fabian]

I think it was your girl friend, that's what went wrong.

[dirtydog]

Well it's about time for an update, we got two walls completed, the sad bit is with all the stuff we have used to build those 2 walls I could have built a nice bungalow, on the one hand I am running out of money real quick, but on the other hand I can make a killing on the small sectioned off plot, the risks we take...

Anyway the chinky neighbour I saw today and he don't talk to me anymore, I really don't think I could be polite again if he asks me to pay half for his poxy wall.

Next I have to buy dirt, I really begrudge paying for dirt, it just doesn't seem right, but the land does need raising, the amount of times I have paid lorries to take away excess dirt and here I am in the situation of having to pay for it...

[Marmite the Dog]

but on the other hand I can make a killing on the small sectioned off plot, the risks we take...

Would your profit be more if you put a house on that small plot, or is it better to just sell it off as it is?

[dirtydog]

The profit would be better if I stick a house on there as we make 20 percent net profit on building.

[dirtydog]

Well I have been seeing this sign all week pointing down the road to my land, it,s advertising 1 rai for sale.



But yesterday due to the rains and the state of the muddy road I walked to the land,ie I parked at the top of the main road, on my walk I noticed that there wasn't a plot big enough to be one rai, well apart from my plot which is quite a bit bigger than that, yep, I must admit I had thoughts that someone was trying to scam someone by selling my land to them, you know what these people are like, so this evening I got me galfriend to phone them, now the sign does point to my land but it turns out the land he is selling is a couple of hundred meters to the right and he only knows how to draw straight arrows.

Anyway, the good bit is, that going by his asking price my land value has gone up by 50 percent, he is asking 1.5 million for one rai, I paid about a million for one rai, then we ask ourselves can land really go up that much over a few months?

[dirtydog]

Well I have to admit what with going to cambodia and working I really havent had the chance to check on my land, so a few hours ago I went to check on it, now I have had 2 to 4 guys working there fo the last couple of weeks, the third wall is coming along quite well, this will be a concrete beam and post wall with in the near future stainless security grills, these we will make ourselves, if I contract it out it will cost over half a million baht, actually nearer a million baht, 20 k and I can buy my own mig welder and do it for about 200,000baht, fok those guys make a good profit and it's time I did aswell, the orchard is doing well although trees seem to grow very slowly, we did have 4 trees die on us but I bought a few more from chantaburi on my way back from Cambodia, the staff now have 4 squirels in their little cage so I told them of my plans for an avery type thing, they were quite excited about this but I believe they were thinking from an eating point of view and not a pets point of view, I didn't go into the bit about they weren't allowed to eat them, anyway the plan of action is to finish the third wall concrete stuff, then I need a water tank tower to auto water the orchard, and then maybe 2 averys.

[dirtydog]

Well we just had the phone call to come and pick up the land papers things are looking good, see sometimes you don't need to bribe people to get things done, so as long as things go ok in the next hour next week it's time to hit the planning office for the first bungalow plans to be approved.

[dirtydog]

Hmmmmmm. well off we went to pick up the 2 new chanootes or land papers or whatever you wish to call them, it seems mr fokwitt cnut needs bribing, the situation appears to be that these things have to be done in 6 weeks, it also appears to be that mr fokwitt cnut should pass on the paperwork within 7 days of surveying the land, but mr fokwitt [at][at][at][at] likes ppl to phone him and delay stuff so that he can extort some dosh, of course we didn't bother phoning mr fokwitt cnut to speed up the process as we aint in no rush and we are still building the garden wall, well it took mr fokwitt cnut 5 weeks to pass on the paperwork to the next office, the next office dont like him cos he is making so much dosh, figures of 200k were bandied about per land plot that farangs had financed, well I aint giving mr fokwitt 10baht let alone 200k, anyway it seems that the staff in there are starting a petition to get mr fokwitt kicked out of there cos they get all the abuse while he sits in his nice office, I now wish I had drove a lot faster with mr fokwitt in my car and scared the foking life out of him, anyway the petition has a couple more signatures now, so hopefully mr thieving scumbag thai fokwitt will be sacked and someone more honest can take his job, anyway the young lady has promised to have it all finished by next thursday, we may ask ourselves is dealing with thais worthwhile? this is an easy question to answer though, of course it aint, most are thieving conniving cnuts, i hope this answers your questions

[dirtydog]

The pond next door is filling up at a rapid pace, ie a couple more days of rain and the water will be enroaching onto my land, not so good that, anyway on this picture you can see the beam work for the stainless steel security grills, This is nearly finished now as there is only about another 20 meters to go, it's gonna take a bit of time though as I have only got 2 guys working on it each day.

[dirtydog]

The poxy pond has flooded and is now filling up my pond, I really didn't want that as I was using my pond for the run off of rainwater on my land,hmmmm....

Anyway the good news is I got the 2 new land papers today, Monday it's off down to the planning office and getting planning permission, so if anyone want's to buy an unbuilt 3 bedroom bungalow on 146 farangwah nows the time to start making offers

[Marmite the Dog]

I've got $4 sitting in a drawer at home. That's my bid.

[dirtydog]

Not quite the amount I had in mind marmers

Anyway as you see my pond is full and just about to flood my land, by the end of the day the final 3 posts of my wall will be finished aswell

[Fabian]

What's the difference between farang wah and thai wah?

[dirtydog]

the spelling?

[dirtydog]

well all the posts are up and ready for the nice stainless security grills to go in and hopefully in the next couple of years I will be able to afford them, but hell it is a nice view

[hillbilly]

I'm thinking/guessing that this pond is about 5-6 meters/metres deep? Am I close?

[dirtydog]

maybe a bit deeper than that hilly, it,s 5 or 6 meters deep when it looks empty and still has water in the bottom.

[Fabian]

Forget the grill, put barbed wire on it. I suggest the NATO type, you know with those small razor blades.
