Well, I'm back from my 6 weeks sojourn in LOS where I had the opportunity to get down and dirty with review of the progress of the house construction, make minor adjustments and map out the course for successful completion of the project. I will mention that I had a few friends over to take a look at the progress of the house during my stay and seemed to have had favorable comments not only about the design, floorplan, and aloted space within the rooms but also about the superior level of workmansship.

Over the next few days, I will attempt to post a few pictures of the progress that has been made over the past few weeks, add a little narrative as it relates to the pictures and discuss any related issues. One thing I can say for sure is that this has been one hell of a learning experience and fortunately, I've had the gods and Buddha on my side as things have progressed well so far, the contractor is ahead of schedule and on budget, and the quality of workmansship seems to be superior to what I have seen in other Thai housing and construction industry.
