It certainly has been. A large part of the reason our place in Ubon was finished early was because, tied to a fixed price contract, the builder brought a few extra workers down to knock the job over as fast as possible, get his money out, and be left with a decent profit after his costs started inflating. Or so he told mrs.

Great result nooners. Well done on getting the internet line too- I think it's pretty doubtful I can do the same in rural Ubon, unfortunately.

I can now personally vouch for the following facts:

1. CMN's house is bright pink, and that that picture above has been photoshopped to make it look like some sort of cream colour.

2. Mrs Noony makes a mean beefburger. Thanks, Mrs CMN.

3. Inzamam ul Haq is a fine figure of a dog, and so is her stable mate whose name I've just forgotten.

4. Bustak is a jolly nice chap, for an American.

Cheers, Noony. Found my way home. Eventually.

Hi CMN about to start a house project here in LOS , just noticed that you are using blocks instead of the small Thai bricks which Thai,s favour. I think that they given the purpose ie "in fill" with copious amounts of cement are in reality no stonger or less so than blocks, What do you reckon then

He doesn't know that

but blocks are better and quicker, if you are rendering the wall

The bricks look nice exposed (like CMN in his den)

Even better would be the QCON blocks which are much lighter and give better insulation; go with them if you can afford the bit extra. You would also need the special render cement, I think

Mate I would have told them to stick the satallite dish on the back of the house!

Just a suggestion but otherwise everything else looks OK.
