A sprawling home in Bangkok

[hillbilly]

Finally, the front door is taking shape.



Here we are finishing up the inside of the inner garage door wall.

[hillbilly]

Will the garage actually be used for housing a car, or will it be filled with household junk like most peoples

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.

[hillbilly]

I must clean my camera lens.



We turn the corner in our L-shaped living room.

Start of the closet doors for my daughter's fashion statement.



Do you see a problem?

[hillbilly]

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.



Will my idea work of shoving two home together? Stay tuned...

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.

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? I live on this stuff! What is the hold up? All the of the sudden all my favorite threads have come to a stand still.

nice pics

[hillbilly]

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.

[shunpike]

Good man HB, looking forward to the update.

A new "subscriber" have arrived!

[hillbilly]

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.

[hillbilly]

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.



The main boss is working on the counter in my daughter's room.

[hillbilly]

WE now are the proud owners of 2 breaker boxes. This one is for the new addition.



The stone beam work continues.

[hillbilly]

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.



And this is where the heater will go.

[hillbilly]

Slowly the garage is starting to take shape.



The awnings have been removed, the roof added and the AC units have been adjusted. The water tank will soon be moved.

[hillbilly]

A reflection shot of my daughter's bathroom.



I think my idea will work...

[hillbilly]

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.



Touch these doors up and I think they will look great.

[hillbilly]

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.



During this phase on construction we have had to move stuff from Point A to Point B.

[hillbilly]

We have got stuff covered in paper, covered in sheets. Hell, I could not even find a coffee cup this morning.



Our kitchen table is outside. Luckily, the rainy season is over.



The only place for me to escape the silly questions is back here. Soon my daughter's old bedroom will become an office.

[hillbilly]

Finally, the wall is down! The wife thinks the inside work will be done by xmas. Let's wait and see...

[hillbilly]

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.



The contractor's wife is making use of one of my kitchen chairs.
