[a. boozer]

Congratulations, and at least you've started the celebrations!

Here I am having a celebratory glass of wine on the bridge

Well deserved after all the hazzle you've went through!

[Marmite the Dog]

They left after five minutes.

Excellent!

Well done BH. I'll have to make an excuse to get up to Korat again soon.

[buad hai]

^I think we will be having a tamboon baan in late November.

Forgot to note that there is no Internet at the new house yet, so I'll be online only sporadically.

Also, no UBC (True Visions). They refuse to move the dish to the new house until we can produce a tabien baan. That may be months away.

So, Ms. B's daughter has not moved. Can't stand the thought of no Internet and no TV!

[El Gibbon]

Great news BH

Glad to see that the bridge survived...

Congrats.

On a move in Phuket I took the dish with me and THEN called them to re-install it. They didn't like it (bad boy, bad boy) but it worked for me.

You could do it yourself if you know how to get to the set up screen on the decoder. Maybe someone here knows.

Point the antenna in the general direction and fine tune using the decoder screen.

Well that compensates somewhat for the delay on your Saipan trip...(fokin spell check tells me "not 'saipan' but 'sampan' and here's me thinking spell check was from the US)

The best news is the Ma-in-law doesn't like it so she might keep away, which will be nice for you...

re Truevisions...why don't you just move the dish yourself...the dish doesn't know it should have a tB...

best wishes for a long and happy sojourn chez toi...

BH the mother in L. just didn't like only them two things, not good sign man!

now you have
- Privacy?
- Hot showers?
- A real kitchen?
- A sink for dish washing instead of the driveway?
- A no-frost fridge?
- Sex without worrying about waking the kid in the adjacent bed?

Beware BH
Thais are a jealous and resentful lot.
They also have lost their 'for free' foreign dishwasher, water bottle filler, houseboy that put some sort of order around the house, and only Zeus knows what other kindness you unwittingly performed

surely you won't be paying anymore for many things used also by them, for which now they will have to foot the bills or do without.

I'm sure you will be sorely missed and they will find a way to make you own up to the 'effrontery' of having dared to move away! Nothing that a fat monthly donation to La Famiglia's piggy bank can't cure!

just joshin with ya and congrats old son!

[Lily]

Thank God for that BH.


I'm very pleased to hear that at last, you have moved in.

[DrAndy]

well done

and you even managed to get the family out after 5 minutes!!

and yes, just move the dish yourself, or with help from your friendly local dishman

[dano]

looks nice mike....hope that bottle of wine wasn't too expensive

[gos]

I have been following this marathon from the start well done BH I think you deserve a couple of bottles as a celebration the problems will seem in the distant past after a couple of months enjoying your new home
Cannot send you a house warming present so i will send you a green

[Jet Gorgon]

Fantanstic, BH! No Internet or TV? How about chairs, or is that what the bridge is for? Yep, great job and congrats on moving in.

[jizzybloke]

You do look happy in the picture, rightfully so and about time!

Well done Mr & Mrs BH. I wish you well with the new home, great thread I have enjoyed and been able to relate to each of your problems.
The wife and I managed to move into our home, I was there for a week then off to work for a month, the week turned out to be an anticlimax after all the hard work and worry. I have since spent a month at home which was a total joy, just sitting on the terrace in the evening with a few beers and good company was a real pleasure, I can not wait to return home again.

[The_Dude]

BH,

I hope you enjoy your new home. You deserve it more so then anyone I know! So with that said, I raise my glass to you and your wife for an excellent job done.

Enjoy!!!

[buad hai]

Thanks to all for the good wishes. I love the place. Cooked my first meal in the new kitchen last night and it was lovely. Photo later today.

Good thought about moving the dish. When Ms. B called TrueVisions they told her to find the technician who did the original install and pay him to move it!

Only two chairs and a small table in the house. Two plastic chairs outside. Furniture will take time and money.

[Sir Burr]

Congratulations M. You've got the bad bit of building a house behind you with only the good bits to come.

[sabang]

^^ Ahh but you've got a fridge to keep the beer cold I notice The rest will follow in good time.
Congratulations, and about time!

[ceburat]

Just noticed you just moved in. You look happy in the photo. Congrats. Great thread you did here.

[buad hai]

hope that bottle of wine wasn't too expensive

Birthday present. First bottle this year. Drunk it over a three day period ending with the first meal I cooked in the new kitchen. Spaghetti:





As you can see, we're sorely lacking in the furniture department....

Now what?

Do you start a new thread about furnishing it? Where does it go from here?

Any crocs in your pond?

[DrAndy]

all good threads must come to an end!
