I know what you mean!

Piss in the shitter even before it is hooked up to the plumbing and spill all their stinky food all over the floors. Flies everywhere all over your appartment and after they have had their lunch.

Normally will adopt one of the soi dogs during the project and then they fcul off and leave the dog behind.

Been there DD. Been there!

Hang on. Thats Thai construction workers in general.

Is your customer colour blind?, the kitchen looks terrible there is no contrast in the colours selected and the black curtains and teak trimming are a bit cheesy, no?

I'm with you there Spin but each to his own. The customer probably has a place elsewhere with white wood and flock wallpaper.

Why does the kitchen need contrasting colors? The curtains actually look really good, when he first mentioned black curtains I have to admit I thought it would look crap, but it does look really nice.

^ It doesnt have to be contrasting but to have marble wood and tiles all the same colour looks a bit shite to me. I would'nt do a kitchen in that scheme because you might put off buyers if you ever came to sell. Thats the thing when a customer chooses his own colour scheme, most of the time he'll do it out like some kind of 80's Ritzys disco in Southend or something

As Khun Loom said, "to each their own". Personally, I don't care for glass in my kitchen cabinets as in post above pic...

Although I really like the stain colors of the cabinets you put in Khun DD, the counter top has a little too much red in it for me. I would have preferred black being the dominent color in the counter top. But, "to each their own".

'Cornice', or 'coving' are the words you could be looking for.

Sorry, but that combination of colour just looks wrong.
Though you have to like it and if you do, good for you.

The mattress is a Sealy mattress so they are expensive, it cost 25,000baht for that with a few free pillows thrown in, the bed frame etc could have been made for 12,000baht. Don't forget this is a 7 foot by 7 foot mattress so it's all special order stuff.

I keep telling them that it is coving, they are all Americans though and use some other words, ie we use the word plaster board, Americans say Dry Wall for partition walls.

^^ You beat me to it Flash... You're all right. We Americans would call the strip you put up where the wall and ceiling meet "crown molding." Here's an example of a Crown with Dentil Strip I did in my American kitchen remodel:



A decorative "cornice" is usually applied above doors or windows and sticks out from the wall surface.

Cove is generally a strip of wood or other material with a concave face used in wordworking. A baseboard (where wall and floor meet) is an example of cove molding.
