The construction of my new house..

[AntRobertson]

that's just petty

Yes, Smeg.

kitchen is too small

That's the one remaining problem with our house too, however...

I definitely regret not making the house a fair bit larger.

... the good news is that extentsions and the like are easily done here. Building permits? What building permits?

Best advice I ever got was to live in a place and get a feel for it before worrying about making changes. What you think is important now could well pale in comparison to something else in the future.

agree whole heartedly with that Ant.

i loved the place when it was all scrub and bamboo and wooden hut.
enjoyed roughing it at weekends before we started building.

really like the neighbours a lot.

it's as far removed a neighbourhood from the middle class estate i am living on now as is possible.
you wouldn't believe they were seperated geographically by little more than 10 kilometres.

I wouldn't hesitate to use these builders again either in the future.
they have been excellent.
haven't missed a day in the last 6 weeks.

About two miles down the road from the Market on the left towards Bo Sang a complex security at entrance faces a restuarant on oposite side of the road, scrap yard next to complex, only a small house single story nothing grand

The windows seem to be placed rather high, will you be able to look out....

[oldgit]

Hav'nt found that yet, is it new?

[ChiangMai noon]

Hav'nt found that yet, is it new?

3 months old.
can't be more than a few clicks from you on the left hand side after bo sang.

[oldgit]

From the outside it looks high, you are not allowing for the wine cellars

[ChiangMai noon]

From the outside it looks high,

the floor is some 3 feet off ground level.

.... he really is a very poor commentator....

[ChiangMai noon]

are there mods that actually read the construction forum?

[Dalton]

^ Seems to be quite a few....

[NickA]

^^Yep, I hope they'll clear all this construction rubbish from my "Joe Royle reminiscence" thread

CMN from the classifieds thread


rotating roof vents for sale I have 2 extra, brand new Aluminum rotating vents for monier tile roof. Includes tile it attaches to. Goes on easy, just replace a tile with the one that comes with the vent, and the vent fits on top. Drastically lowers the house temperature. B2300 each PM or email for pics. [email protected]

I don't think that is the right tile profile and he lives in Phuket
