Landscape workers still planting and watering.
Looking better, perhaps we can bring this project closer to the end.

Well, what do you think? Should take about a year for the trees and plants to get up to speed.
Well, that is about it for now! hillbilly's projects are ongoing and the next month should show a suprise or two. e.g. The tee is where & is that a concrete buffalo?
HB- great thread. You may already have mentioned this, but how long did it take from the first serious planning to completion? 5 years? more? less?
I would say about 3 years. However this does not include scouting for the land to locking the gate...
We bought 2 parcels of land before this to build a house that I just did not feel comfortable with. We still grow rice on these sections of land.
I wanted a piece of land that I could grow old and die on...

Me too. Have told the missus to sprinkle my ashes under my favourite palm (royal palm).

ok you explained the bathroom except why is there a need for it if you have one in the house? Is this the one you get to use so the fumes are outside and not in the house?
Very funny sho1994gun! Actually, it is because it seems we constantly have workers on hillbilly's estate and the wife got tired of them using the master bathroom (not all of them can be trusted in the big boss house). Hence, the outdoor toilet.
Plus, I like the added character...

ok i understand now but you forgot the magazine rack that you will need when she does make you use it.
Excellent post HB, I have enjoyed every thread. Hope my build will go as well as yours. I have made a start, this is a 3 bed room 210 sqm bungalow in Pattaya. I shoud start posting soon. The internet connection I have in Brazil is far to slow.
Have fun.

Hillbilly whats your new project you must be bored having nothing to worry about
Have to say it was really great rolling through the different threads viewing the photos, and enjoying the humor. At any rate, I am married to a Thai and live in Japan. I have the desire to move to Thailand and build, but want to gather my nickles and dimes. Doubt if I will live that far out even though my wife if from Phetchabun. I've been to Phitsanoluk, however the last time it was very dry and they were hurting for rain. I guess that isn't a problem. I will be in Thailand in Janaury so if your around Bangkok or Pattaya let me know.

If you're talking a "fishing dock", how big or long do you want to go out into the river? Heck man, you can make a fishing dock pretty easy and inexpensive. Why the heck would you need one anyway? Are you trying to make a "boat dock" or a walkway out into the river?

Basically here is the problem, I need a boat/fishing dock that rises and sinks with the river. Then, how do I keep the locals from using my getaway? They will trash the area.
I have a a couple of ideas...
Killing all the locals will not endear you to the village.Originally Posted by hillbilly
^ if there are no locals left, that's hardly going to be a problem
