This is one main reason that I believe that the owners should visit the job site often: unless they have a trusted builder. What do you see wrong with this portion of the fence?

The plumbers spent all foking morning trying to figure out the plumbing. Around lunch time I finally said go eat. I did the job (without the glue) in about 15 minutes.

^Why was the plumbing so hard? Didn't they know which way shit flows? ;)
Actually, if you look at the fence you can see the wood leaning towards the left. I pointed this out to the workers and made them stop. Incidentally, this happened when the fence boss was gone. Lesson, do not trust the workers, they do not care...
A crappy photo but you got to love the painters having a smoke break.

My storage 'sala' is going according to my plans.

Damn, I thought they just forgot to finish that section :lmao:
Now that you point it out I notice the slats leaning. Sheesh, hard to get good workers nowadays ;)
There's no way in hell I'm letting anyone build my house unless I'm there each and every day.
The final coat of paint has been applied to the wood on the front fence.

The hillbilly house is getting there. What do you think?
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...l_DSCN4076.jpg
Look at the sky. Guess what is going to happen?

The rear of the home is looking better.

My storage 'sala'. Don't panic, it's not done yet...

They're probably upset with the stupid farang who won't even let them have a shit without photographing them doing it. :rolleyes:Quote:

Started to collect a few Thai antiques in plan with the landscape project that is upcoming.

This view shows the raw wood, the treated wood and the finished wood on the fence.

Looking down the soi on the side of the house. The 'govermnt' road workers said that In February this road will be concrete. However, they also told me last April that the road would be done in June...:confused:

^I'm sure you've said before, but what size is the plot of land? The fence looks huge!
As Thais say 'jai yen'. In other words relax and see what happens.:)Quote:
