The construction of my new house..

[Thetyim]

The missus have fallen in love

HAVE ?
How many you got then ?

[Fabian]

do you like my summer yellow and mint green paint combo for the living room.

Of course not.

Why didn't you ask someone who is not colourblind to choose the clours for you?

[buad hai]

One of the more interesting and suspenseful of the constructions threads. It came out very nice.

thanks BH.

I'll be moving in gradually over the course of the next month, house is completed already...the garden needs a huge amount of work.

probably spend a few days a week at the new house while we try to rent the old place out.

^How far is it from the center of Chiang Mai?

[MeMock]

Any leads on renting your place yet CMN?

^How far is it from the center of Chiang Mai?

about a 30 minute commute.

roughly 16 kilometres but a lot of red lights to navigate.

[buad hai]

Somehow I had 40K in mind, but that might have been a different property.

Anyway, at that you should be fine and looking forward to lots of gardening fun.

[Gallowspole]

my computer room is my favourite shade of green.

welsh dragon green.

we had a storage area built in for me to stick junk like guitars and printers.

This reminds me of Only Fools and Horses when they painted the local chinkies with luminous paint.

Very nice thread.

[ChiangMai noon]

just got back from the house and apart from a couple of bits and bobs, it's done.

the kitchen....

[ChiangMai noon]

the spare bedroom.



the final job....

putting the skirtings on...
this guy is the head builder.

i have been very impressed by him.

[ChiangMai noon]

the down step part of the living room with kitchen door to the right.



a bit of house...

lovely colours.



don't care what you all think, I love the colour scheme.

very happy and bright.

[ChiangMai noon]

the outside patio area.....

[ChiangMai noon]

somewhere to put some tables and stuff at the front of the house.

[ChiangMai noon]

the garden is going to take a serious amount of cleaning up before we even think about starting making it pretty..



bits of old house.

think someone local has bagsied these old roof tiles.

[ChiangMai noon]

view of the side of the house from the neighbour's mnoodle stall.

[ChiangMai noon]

the back of the house.

very plain looking compared to the front.

might paint a dragon on it.

[MeMock]

Any leads on renting your town house CmN?

[ChiangMai noon]

we followed the tiles out of the kitchen onto what will be the washing area.

[ChiangMai noon]

Any leads on renting your town house CmN?

do you want it?

[MeMock]

I take that as a no then.

[ChiangMai noon]

I take that as a no then.

we are in no hurry to be honest mate.

It's a nice position to be in that we can move from one place to the other gradually.

we are looking to rent the old place as of May.

[MeMock]

Thats the best way to be CmN. Well done for getting yourself in that position.

Not being in a rush means choosing the best tenant at the price you want.

[Dalton]

Do you have a trampoline

[Texpat]

Nice place CMN. I recommend checking every electric outlet, drain, faucet, light, switch, window, screen, doorlock, cable outlet, etc before you pay the builder his final payment.

They're much harder to nail down once they've been paid in full.
