Construction in Thailand Is building in Thailand as bad as it seems? Can properties really be built and fitted out to European standards? Would you like to Build your own house in Phuket, or a swimming pool in Bangkok? Solar water heating in Pattaya? Or maybe you want to build a resort or guesthouse on Koh Samui? If you want to build a luxury house in Thailand then this is the forum for you.

I wired the door knob of my bedroom to the mains. That stopped the maid coming in when I was having a sly one off the wrist. That's what i call a service trap.

A green to Butterfly for a hilarious building thread. Hope for more to come.

yeah, but they are metal frames I have to cut through, and those were quite hard. Between the drawing, and the cutting, and a few breaks to breath and rest, maybe 1h20

Drywall
that was actually a very helpful video,

I see they are using some kind of mesh tape, that's what I was looking for, but the dummies at HomePro have no clue,

what is the official name or brand in Thailand for those mesh tapes ? I need those before I can put the Putty

thanks again for the link,

See, guys, it's already getting better -- and then I discovered the OTHER service trap thread -- just when I thought Papillon couldn't possibly indict himself any further.

This is indeed a sweet pair of threads...

^ See, it just keeps getting better.

Don't you have some part of your ceiling to put your foot through?

Maybe eat less, and this wouldn't happen --- 55555555 !!
