    Agree. Not good for us normal folks. Think it's there to prevent spamers from jumping into the forum and posting links to businesses and the like.

    OK. See your prob. Go to your link, click on the pic you want. Then right click on the pic, "copy image location".

    In the quote box, click , then paste.

    Ah...got it somehow. These are the floorplans to the above house....just a basic rectangle with a tower stuck on the front. I guess you can size the rectangle to suit and build the gazebo later if cash is tight

    Very nice. The wall and the gate are a killer on the bankbook.

    Thanks. It's something else you need to look out for. It started as an Idea to build a little place in the country to store our stuff, then it just escalated from there. Still, when I compare what I paid all in all I probably couldn't buy a garage for my car where I come from. It'll do for me and the more I stay up country the more I like it....

    When it comes to budgeting building and furnishing a house it is next to impossible to get it right. Things inevitably expand. Once one thinks they have the budget "perfect", add 20%.

    Get up there every 6 weeks or so to buy Thai/French beef just east of Muang Sakorn Nakhon. Nice part of the country.

    Yeah it is pretty nice, unfortunately I am in Bangkok now and getting ready to go to the states to work for a few weeks, still, mustn't complain too much, I need the money and at least I have my job.

    It is 25sqm for the main room, 20sqm for the front balcony come dining experience, 6sqm bathroom and 4sqm kitchen.

    Already started a thread about it somewhere.....survivor mark II me thinks.

    The obvious problem with this design is that it doesn't fit the standard 4m x 4m grid that the Thais are used to. I'm not saying that it can't be done (steel beams or hefty concrete ones for instance) but it will add to the cost.
