I think the price was right, location, location, location.
We asked for a loan at Government Bank. They kept postponing the answer for more than a month, and even now, we're waiting for the amount they will give the owner.
I paid 30% cash to her and started the work two days ago.
I brought 3 workers from the country and we sleep on the floor!
I've been paying pension for six nephews and nieces for a while, and it jumps to eight this next May. Time to get our own place.
We needed very large rooms to lodge 4 boys and 4 girls.
This has two 9m X 5m bedrooms, 3 baths and two extra smaller bedrooms for us and for the lady who supervises the kids.
The living room, where they'll do homework is a L shaped 9m X 5m X 9m.
A large terrace on the front second floor, facing North, a smaller one South that will be transformed. A kitchen to be redone, fruit trees, well look at the pictures as it happens.
Lots of work to be done before May, including a Soncran break...
