Yeah, was going to ask the same thing. Price for the basic construction will do; of course all kinds of nice fixtures can go into kitchens and bathrooms that could add greatly to the cost.

But it is *SO* lovely... It's... distinguished and modest at the same time. It's functional, classy, traditional.. It's beautiful.

Do let us know when the house warming party takes place. Worth trekking up to Mae Rim for.

OK curious chaps

I have added the costs so far, not including land etc.but including all materials and work.

The total comes to B1.6 million. This includes bathroom fittings and some of the kitchen, the lighting (not yet fitted out) and plumbing

does not include those jobs that I mentioned previously, like sanding the floors or tiling the main downstairs area. These will not be expensive anyway.

and thanks for the compliments, much appreciated.

anyone need a design team?

that is for everything so far

the downstairs area will be quarry tiled on the floor, no walls. It will be an open area for sitting and eating BBQ, nice and shady

and a wood deck, already installed, for sitting fishing and a hammock

the water looks a bit murky, bit it is clean and you can swim. The bottom is muddy so it will need a platform to get in

Thought: There must be ways to build on water without draining it, judging from all the buildings next to khlongs, streams and other waterways in Central Thailand (Thonburi canals, etc.) Of course there's no experience with that in the North, but I wonder how they do that in Central Thailand..

And no response on the house-warming! I'll bring an envelope with content for the Chang-fund.

Hah WLL, I did respond to another post about the housewarming

we will prob have it next January - hopefully all the rest of the work will have been completed by then. Maybe there will be an invite....

as for building on/in the pond without draining it, why worry? It is fairly normal in Thailand to drain ponds and extract all the fish and beasties once a year anyway. I think that I will not continue doing that annually as it takes a while for the wildlife to recover. The fish are back and spawning, the birds are around again etc, but it took some time

update time....

all has not gone smoothly! the roof is a bit of a problem, the guy who did it hired some workers who had never worked for him before and did not supervise them. They used nails to fit the tiles, not the screws I had bought; in addition, it leaks due to weird workmanship.

so we are having to strip parts of the roof and relay it, bastards. oh well, I suppose it had to happen

as we are not there, it will have to wait until later, but it will get done properly eventually

Well it was all going smoother than an eel in a bucket of snot so far, so it's almost reassuring to see a bit of reality creeping in. No worries, they'll get it right in the end.

yes, we have had a few glitches but I conveniently forgot them.

This one is ongoing and not yet solved
