A sprawling home in Bangkok

HB what is the inside measurement of your garage. Most enjoyable thread.

My wife and I do not know if the person in the blue striped shirt is a guy or a Tom.

Why not call her Pat? The SNL Character.

Thank You !
For sharing your construction with us. Great job like always.

How is your daughter (and you) doing ? Hope she recovers soon.

**hillbilly** · 26-11-2009, 06:23 PM

Appreciate the concerns about my family. It seems for us the H1N1 is over.

So why did the workers place this offering on the table? The answer is simple. The boss had prayed for no rain when our roof was open and none had. Therefore, they were placating the Gods. Believe or not...

I hire all types...

This lady speak English. To well. She wants to do our daughter's closet for B67,000. Ain't going to happen.

Here are talking about the final changes. Keep in mind I have not said my thoughts.

**Fondles** · 26-11-2009, 06:49 PM

Lady from Tak is yummy.

**hillbilly** · 26-11-2009, 06:52 PM

Another puzzle. What is going on with this photograph? And why did hillbilly not catch the mistake earlier?...

Well at least our construction mess is being cleaned up.

**hillbilly** · 26-11-2009, 06:54 PM

Come on, at least smile...

Poor thing is knackered. Coming down off a major M150 high by the looks of the content in the green basket.

My Muslim door dealer has arrived.

To expensive. But the wife thinks it is worth it.

Glad to hear H1N1 has left the building HB. Keep up the good work dude!

**hillbilly** · 27-11-2009, 06:20 PM

Finally got a face shot of this person. We talked to her for some time. Yes, this is a 100% lady. But since she works like a man, she dresses like a man to protect her from the work environment.

**Thetyim** · 27-11-2009, 06:38 PM

She looks cute

Would she be interested in a fat, bald, aging Farang with no money ?

I already asked and she said no. I even had on my best shorts and T-shirt.

Regardless, the team she was on is gone. To much sloppy work. To save face they said they had to go back to Tak province.

Marmers is taken.

**Loombucket** · 28-11-2009, 04:28 AM

Coming on a treat now Hillbilly. Like you, I can't wait to see it done.

Actually, the slender old fashioned tile (shown half way up on the wall) is also supposed to go at the very top. So all the top tiles had to be taken out and done correctly. My mistake as the plans were not communicated well enough.

**hillbilly** · 28-11-2009, 04:56 PM

Here the worker is putting up the final tiles in the daughter's closet. This closet will eventually be a semi-wood frame with a tile background. After all, clothes are important to my daughter. She says that I am not a fashion statement but she is.

How many more years does this attitude go on?

**hillbilly** · 28-11-2009, 05:01 PM

This view might better explain on what I am trying to accomplish.

The ceiling in the walkway is moving right along. On a side note, I do think it is time for me to clean my camera lens.

**hillbilly** · 02-12-2009, 05:17 PM

My single car garage is finally taking hold.

You gonna have another garage on the other house? Its neat to start to see it come to fruition it really is. Hats off to ya mate. We did it when I was 37, dont know if I could do it now. But we did paint our house last year. And the wife is talking about the upstairs wallpaper now.

**hillbilly** · 02-12-2009, 05:43 PM

Take a close look at these two Thai workers cutting tile. Can you notice the difference in the saw blades? This is where craftsmanship comes into play.

A protective environment is a must around the building of my Western style home.

**jaiyenyen** · 02-12-2009, 05:45 PM

Great thread Hillbilly. It's good to see the job going so well.
One question.
Will the garage actually be used for housing a car, or will it be filled with household junk like most peoples
