Also, is there any way to see thread stats too? who posted most and the like?

[NamPikToot]

David, thanks now AO will be along to make some comment about the number of posts i have racked up. she's a bit obsessed with this and me for some reason.

[NamPikToot]

TD, if you are up to it. I note the banister uprights have scorch marks where the square section joins to the wood. Did they drill out the wood and insert some metal to weld to?

Not to my knowledge - PJ was there yesterday, doing battle over a boundary dispute with another neighbour next to our plot 1, and was told that a hole was drilled up though the bottom and it was then attached to the concrete via an embedded bolt on the stairs.

It's all getting painted in that same walnut colour anyway, to match the other paint

David....that's great, but how do I get that and what other stats are there if any!?

Sala progress

Remember a few posts back, I asked what this might be.....




no body answered, BTW!

[Thai Dhupp]

Sala progress

This might be a clue...

[Norton]

Looks like wood bits to fill the bannister.

Sala Progress



Oh...what a giveaway!



Yes...those long-awaited Sala panels for the stairs...


Looking good I think..





Top of the stairs where the Sala access meets the upper floor


Another view at the top...


An earlier shot when the panels were being fitted


Looking down on the Sala


Wait! whats that!?

[NamPikToot]

The last lot were window accents, don't think they are banister adornments but the sala roof looks like it ends a little too abruptly so maybe something on the sala?

Opps cross post, see you've shown them on the stairs, well done norts

lol you could be right, Norton!

[Norton]

Whatever they are, the place is really starting to get a finished look. Looking good TD.

Thank you kindly... yes it is, I am excited but also frustrated not to be there.

Roll on Christmas!!!

Some hanging potted plants would be a nice feature.

Greetings CS, all the house secondary embellishments will come once we actually move in

[NamPikToot]

TD, re the sala. There doesn't seem to be much protection from the sun with the roof being so high? or is the purpose of the sala as a rest stop on your journey from the road?

[Norton]

I have some shades like these. Simular would do the trick for sala.

[NamPikToot]

That's a thought

Orchids with the trailing moss.

Sala supposed to be for meeting visitors formally, then deciding if that's it.. of if you want to invite them further into the home. Either way wont be too long in the sala!

No one comes visiting if its raining...! CCTV will vet those who do and depending who, they wont get past the boundary wall gate in most cases.

lol.. peeps should be carrying their own sunblock - its sunny 'n' hot in Thailand!
