The White House, one of the most recognizable buildings in Washington, DC, was designed by James Hoban, an Irish-born and-trained architect who won a competition organized by President George Washington and Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson in 1792.......................
So this Dublin lad decided to build his own version of it in Northeast Thailand.
There was a real reason behind this build, that will be revealed later.
I am 7 years married, with a Cool looking wife and a 3 year old Dublin born Daughter. I also have a 13 year old Son from my first marriage.
To start off my wifes granmother gave her a very sought after piece of land when we got married, directly looking over a lake. 3 years ago I decided to build on it, never having any experience in technical drawing I drew out the floorplan with a Builder at a swimming pool bar, In central UdonThani...........Where better to start.
Perfect in every detail. Sorry, cannot show you the upper level plans as I was pissed by the time the builder and myself got to " The Upper Level "
So I left it with him...
So we got 45 trucks to fill up the land to the proper height.
^ Thats it after the trucks and a dose of the Piles
Here is the most important item for me , the view over a lovely serene lake. So then I started thinking BIG and I mean BIG. Big money as well.
Nice view though.
So in comes Bob the Builder.
I was doing this by remote control. My job was to send over 700.000 Baht on a certain day every month. My builders job was to stick to the contract. I was losing my ass on the Thai exchange rate. It had fallen by 6 Baht to the Euro from the time of signing the contract. A well its only money. FECK FECK FECK.
So in come the boys, all the best equipment of course. All the stuff used in the build was of A1 Quality.
OH............ I forgot I bought 3 Rai around the corner for a million baht for the Craic as well ( Craic means joke or fun in Irish )
More Soon Sabai
