I say the car along with a small workbench for me. Reality says, it will be junk with just enough space to put the car in.Quote:

We turn the corner in our L-shaped living room.
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...2Dec09_006.jpg
Start of the closet doors for my daughter's fashion statement.
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...2Dec09_007.jpg
Do you see a problem?
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...2Dec09_008.jpg
Now what the hell is this hole for? Now before some posters scream, the answer is fairly simple. Yet unique.

This photograph shows some of the many changes we have done with this home addition.
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...2Dec09_010.jpg
Will my idea work of shoving two home together? Stay tuned...
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...2Dec09_011.jpg
that front is looking killer the window looks like thermo pane. Just keep this thing going.
All this money, 2 houses made into one and you made a SINGLE car garage with no real extra room in it, gotta make you go 55555.
Sorry, couldn't help myself.
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...2Dec09_006.jpg
That fan looks awfully close to the ceiling. Have you run it yet?
If the picture ist not totally misleading it will be sucked to the ceiling when it starts turning and make a dent there and some noise.
It happened at our home because the bedroom has an angled ceiling too. I thought a few cm space are enough but I had to extend the length.
Enjoy your project threads.

No light getting below the shelf
So why the halt in pics and story? :mid: I live on this stuff! :chitown: What is the hold up? :chairfall: All the of the sudden all my favorite threads have come to a stand still.:confused:
nice pics :):):):)
Sorry for the delay, but I have been busier than a cat covering up shit. Updates coming this weekend; the good, the bad and the ugly. :)
Good man HB, looking forward to the update.
A new "subscriber" have arrived! :)
As with any construction projects the budget is always over. Here my office manager is paying the bills. We have gone over the million baht threshold.
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...1Dec09_020.jpg
I am always amazed at the lack of common sense with some of these workers. Personally, I would have moved the ladder over just a hair.
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...Dec_09_001.jpg
The main boss is working on the counter in my daughter's room.
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...Dec_09_002.jpg
WE now are the proud owners of 2 breaker boxes. This one is for the new addition.
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...Dec_09_003.jpg
The stone beam work continues.
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...Dec_09_005.jpg
Our electrician ponders the hot water heater for the shower. Since his sister is married to a Canadian he says he understands falangs are different.
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...Dec_09_006.jpg
And this is where the heater will go.
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...Dec_09_007.jpg
Slowly the garage is starting to take shape.
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...Dec_09_011.jpg
The awnings have been removed, the roof added and the AC units have been adjusted. The water tank will soon be moved.
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...Dec_09_014.jpg
A reflection shot of my daughter's bathroom.
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...Dec_09_015.jpg
I think my idea will work...
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...Dec_09_016.jpg
The living room tile is going in and hopefully everything will match. Soon we will be tearing out the 2 windows and the wall. Dust is everywhere.
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...Dec_09_017.jpg
Touch these doors up and I think they will look great.
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...Dec_09_021.jpg
After much debate, I left the safety cut where they initially put it. I had to laugh. Originally, I had told them yes I wanted a safety cut for the shower in the bathroom. So, they put it in the bathroom. All part of living and building in Thailand.
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...Dec_09_023.jpg
During this phase on construction we have had to move stuff from Point A to Point B.
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...Dec_09_027.jpg
We have got stuff covered in paper, covered in sheets. Hell, I could not even find a coffee cup this morning.
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...Dec_09_029.jpg
Our kitchen table is outside. Luckily, the rainy season is over.
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...Dec_09_030.jpg
The only place for me to escape the silly questions is back here. Soon my daughter's old bedroom will become an office.
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...Dec_09_025.jpg
Finally, the wall is down! The wife thinks the inside work will be done by xmas. Let's wait and see...:)
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...Dec_09_028.jpg
Bringing in another glass frame for our shower door. Luckily, the framing boss, shown here, broke the first one himself. So this came out of his pocket.
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...Dec_09_031.jpg
The contractor's wife is making use of one of my kitchen chairs.
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...Dec_09_032.jpg
The stone work is starting to take shape. Do you see that big metal pole? It was put there many years ago to help support the electrical wires to the house. Trying to get this moved has turned out to be a pain in the butt.
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...Dec_09_034.jpg
It looks like the front should tie in neatly.
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...Dec_09_035.jpg
Our fake wood beams are now up. The guy that did the work showed up at 6 every evening and worked until 9. The noise in the evening drove me crazy.
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...Dec_09_036.jpg
Looking at where the wall use to be. Notice the worker's birth mark on his right arm. Regardless, he did do a hell of a good job.
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...Dec_09_037.jpg
One of the outside walkways. Of course it is not done yet. The tile worker has been gone the last two days. I don't know why.
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...Dec_09_038.jpg
This walkway is where the washer and dryer will go.
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...Dec_09_039.jpg
My daughter has started to decorate her walls. Please don't ask me what B.B.F.L. means.

I should have shown this picture earlier. It shows what happens when the wife changes her mind halfway in the game plan. So now instead of having a sliding glass window, we now also have a door. In retrospect, not a bad idea.
Remember, earlier in this construction confusion I mentioned that the tile guy had not shown up. Come to find out the main boss was not satisfied with some of his outdoor tile work, so he was let go.
This shot shows him at work before his pink slip. His wife would mix the cement and sit.
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...Dec_09_048.jpg
I'm guessing that you just got removed from HB's xmas card list!Quote:

You saw it here first. One of two things is going to happen at this site. Either a massive waterfall and semi-lake will be here in a jungle surrounding or hillbilly will have a massive heart attack. :)
Budget for this phase is set at B150,000. Let's wait and see...
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...Dec_09_050.jpg
Where do these people come from? I have no idea who that lady in the hammock is.
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...Dec_09_052.jpg
This rather pathetic shot show the xmas lights. Or what should be the lights. Seems things are not kosher...:)
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...Dec_09_055.jpg
Anyone want to guess what this plastic roll is for? And yes, it is for the home...
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...Dec_09_057.jpg
Did you ever wonder, what the hell...
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...Dec_09_061.jpg
This is such an awesome thread.
