Reallly nice thread and progress reports.

I recently completed our building project up-country and can symphatize with your efforts. My wife's father, a building contractor, oversaw the project and did a pretty good job. We were in Saudi and unable to do much except give advice. All in all he did a nice job.

We also have a home in Pattaya so will split the time between the two places when I complete this contract.

Good luck and keep the posts and photos coming.
