    Looks like you will have to train the dog to use the steps. Or install a stair lift.

    The viet boys have really been cracking on with the tiling and shower room








    Turns out the shower room roof beams were full of white ants , replaced them all with steel beams

    The frame for the minibar fridge has been bolted to the wall and an outlet for the power installed,



    Next job is to weld a frame in the hut for the stereo and TV



    katoey proof fence is next





    Then fix the driveway





    watching all that construction going on was really giving me a thirst, I was drier than a pommies towel Time to invite my pissy mate tony and his kids over for a beer and a swim

    If the white ants were there it might be an idea to check the rest of the roof timbers in the house. They may probably be there too

    Great thread by the way.

    Jesus lao,

    You will drink that toy fridge dry in 3 minutes 45 seconds.

    Get a massive double door Industrial fridge up against that wall mate.

    No use pissing around.

    Too right, proper beer fridge with a glass front so you can easily observe a necessary restock situation without leaving the pool. This may require a pool phone to get the said situation rectified.

    You'll be needing a mirror on the wall so you can see it from the tub.
    Lang may yer lum reek...

    Excellent job BLD. You got me thinking about a pool. I showed my wife the thread and she liked it.
