Thai Dhupp and Princess Joy's Thai House Build

[Airportwo]

hmmmm...... I cant turn my back for a second.

They need supervision thats for certain! they have strange idea's as you are finding out, I realised years back that if you look where "they" (family & builders) live, that is their standard and what they consider acceptable, my wife accepted (had to!) that my ideas were far superior to hers
A word of caution on the kitchen, use teak if possible! I "lost" a kitchen some years back when the local termite population decided to eat it!

You are not wrong, AP2, all the gardening is done in concrete pots, sitting on the concrete drive, lol good luck with that but not for me.

Kitchen-wise we might end up with the concrete carcass for the lower cabinets, as long as the doors can be made to butt up so that it maintains the look of a built in kitchen.
the only things we are agreed on are: black galaxy granite for the worktops, induction for the hob, a feature light over the island, breakfast bar seating at one end of the island, and... an OVEN and microwave... jeex... an oven,, what will she do!? oh and a dishwasher, the lazy c... clever girl. Wood finish cabinets, colour to match the granite, floor might be a wood effect tile too, after what we have seen on our shopping trip recce's

Built in / fitted kitchens in all the big stores are astronomic costs - we looked at some today starting at 1.1m for a basic shape through 1.5m for average sized to 1.8m for individual designed, these are European prices!! lol K.Pot knows a good carpenter who might be able to make it for us.. lets see....
