Stairs looking good.
I wasn't there when they built these kitchen units and would have liked them to extend to the far wall, but the wife is happy so who am I to complain.

Veranda...
Living room...
Kitchen...
The finished house....
Overall I'm very happy with the house and the work the builders did. Next on the list a big wall and garden.
The original quote of 250,000. How close was it? What was teh cost of construction? If you don't mind sharing that info.
^and contractor contact information,....if you don't mind
Your house looks beautiful.
You can extend your kitchentable anytime.
I laid out the insolation on the gypsum ceiling. And it works: bloody hot in there
Thanks for this Ciaphas, all looks very nice indeed, very spacious too..
Nice thread, wood is so nice, What did it end up costing.
Sorry but the green looks not so good.
But I like the house.
nice!
well done cia, looks lovely. must admit did agree with whoever said it isn't traditional
but seeing the finished article i think its great,, sure looks traditional.
did u get to fit earth wires to the sockets and i hope the wood breathing isn't a problem for u. good luck to the future mate.
I like the green. And what did it wind up costing?
Looks nice...we are building traditional, maybe a tad more traditional (ie: up on 3m stilts and no bathroom/kitchen indoors) starting later this month. Will be interesting to see your final pricing.
Well Twocam make sure you start a thread showing its construction with a lot of pictures.Originally Posted by Twocam
We love those type of threads around here!
By the way whereabouts will you be building this house?
45km east of Nong Khai. Sao Ek ceremony is tomorrow morning but I have to work so I'm not going up there. I'm sure I'll be treated to 50 videos of crap quality made on people's mobile phones tho'.
^ youtube 'em and post the link
that was me, and yes, now it is finished it has a "neo-traditional" look about itOriginally Posted by lob
anyway, it looks fine and I hope you enjoy living in it
only one thing, I too would have extended the kitchen units to have more worktop, but Thais often do most of the prep on the floor on newspapers anyway
I have reported your post
The total came to 650k, including changing builders, air con units, designers tiles and such like. Probably could have done it for 500k if I had kept a tighter lid on the spending.
It was a local building team is Sae Kaow, can get the number if you are interested?
Agree with you there, but the wife chose them and it keeps her happy.
The sockets for computers and television are earth but the rest aren't. The wood has a gap of 3mm, wasn't happy at first but you get used to it.
Have to agree with you on that one, everything get prepared on the veranda.
I just found this thread. Am starting to 'envision' what to build some yrs down the road when wife and I retire.
So I'll start out with the first and stupidest questions..
Why are so many (especially the traditional style) houses build on posts up off the ground rather than leveling the ground, and either a poured concrete foundation or similar ?
thx

Looks really nice in wood, keep us posted on the wall etc.

^Yes, we used the Shera for the walls. 2 years on and they are still exactly the same as they were when put on. Absolutely no complaints about using it as a building material.
