Thread: A Better Gallery of House-Builds

Done. (But not by me).

Well !!!

When I woke up this morning I didn't anticipate that by the end of the day I'd have a sticky Thread .

Actually if it means the Thread is going to stay at the top of the page I think I'd like it Unstuck please mods .

Please .

Meanwhile .... this Thread depends on photos and there has not been a lot of building getting completed so I'm going to pad this out .... err I mean I'm going to enhance this Thread ... putting in something I always thought would be interesting .
Stages of Construction.

Here's the first one ....

Are you actually insane mate. ?

This thread is pinned so every punter can view it easily. Only the very best threads ever get pinned.

You should be patting yourself on the back for this great thread.

You do realise it's 4 different homes - don't you ?

But I think this is the one that has made you say ' Wow ' .








Loy Toy said about this ........ " This is the first house that I built and still is our favourite.
Bought the ground floor as a shell construction and finished it off. "

Doesn't look like that anymore.

No more klong and more covered space.

Terry 57 can put a comparison picture up.

They should put a copy of this in famous threads.

Yes you Mr Mod instead of reading all my PM's

It's there for the newbies and the next time Neverna gets your goat

Wasp and all others who posted their builds. WELL DONE!

It was the construction threads that brought me to the TD Forum.

Well, I don't live in Thailand yet and have not built yet, so I guess I qualify there.

I enjoy this thread immensely FWIW, very much appreciate the time that goes into it. My wife and I sit together and scroll thru the pics from time to time, whereas she does not have the patience to read an actual build thread. But I can go off and read more about builds that, say, are in a style similar to what we intend or are on land similar to where we will build. So yes, a handy visual index of build threads.

I'm a fan of ltnt's house - love the clean lines and big verandahs. Wiffey gets a giggle out of the gold carriage outside SteveFarang's place, but wonders who has to do the cleaning inside that mansion.

But the best part of this thread? I am playing around with my own design and it is nice to know that no matter how hard I try, our house will not be the ugliest one out there.

I must say LT,

I really love the look of the Old Gaff even though the new version is a lot easier to look after.

I agree, I think it looked better before.

Isnt that the Khlong he had all the problems with the Thais using it as a toilet ?
I think it flooded the house as well ?

I've never actually liked that home a lot .

It looks like Lego .

I Love this thread, it show cases what us Farang can achieve here in Thailand.

I would love to build a house but there aint no room left on Silom.

Unfortunately, i need the city life.

^ When are you heading up to this city?

.
Roobarb's Construction ..........

^That's a great place as well, love the two story second story wooden finish.

.
OK --- Norton's Build .....






Wasp

^

That's great mate. Approx what was the damage for the reno. ?

I've had to think about that because it was done over several visits and we put a wall all around the land .
I'd be surprised if I spent more than 400 000 Baht .

It's all just cosmetic really .
The old house is still there inside the new one but with new floors , new roof , new ceilings , new walls ........ Hang On !! .... maybe I spent more .

I'm so rich I don't care .

Great little gaff for that. Well done.
