Done. (But not by me).
Well !!!
When I woke up this morning I didn't anticipate that by the end of the day I'd have a sticky Thread .
Actually if it means the Thread is going to stay at the top of the page I think I'd like it Unstuck please mods .
Please .
Meanwhile .... this Thread depends on photos and there has not been a lot of building getting completed so I'm going to pad this out .... err I mean I'm going to enhance this Thread ... putting in something I always thought would be interesting .
Stages of Construction.
Here's the first one ....

They should put a copy of this in famous threads.
Yes you Mr Mod instead of reading all my PM's
terry57 : Are you actually insane mate. ?
This thread is pinned so every punter can view it easily. Only the very best threads ever get pinned.
You should be patting yourself on the back for this great thread.
Well ..... I enjoy reading the Construction Threads too .
And when I open the page I want to see a few new posts there so I can sip my coffee and have something new to read .
I don't like to see the same thread sitting there all the time --- especially my own !
I didn't really know what sticky meant . If I can keep adding builds it will appear up there anyway and you'll know there's something new to see .
Otherwise you might open it and find you've wasted your time and then you'll go and kick your parrot.
Makes sense to me - but thank you terence.

It's there for the newbies and the next time Neverna gets your goat
Wasp and all others who posted their builds. WELL DONE!
It was the construction threads that brought me to the TD Forum.
Well, I don't live in Thailand yet and have not built yet, so I guess I qualify there.
I enjoy this thread immensely FWIW, very much appreciate the time that goes into it. My wife and I sit together and scroll thru the pics from time to time, whereas she does not have the patience to read an actual build thread. But I can go off and read more about builds that, say, are in a style similar to what we intend or are on land similar to where we will build. So yes, a handy visual index of build threads.
I'm a fan of ltnt's house - love the clean lines and big verandahs. Wiffey gets a giggle out of the gold carriage outside SteveFarang's place, but wonders who has to do the cleaning inside that mansion.
But the best part of this thread? I am playing around with my own design and it is nice to know that no matter how hard I try, our house will not be the ugliest one out there.
I agree, I think it looked better before.
Isnt that the Khlong he had all the problems with the Thais using it as a toilet ?
I think it flooded the house as well ?
I've never actually liked that home a lot .
It looks like Lego .

I Love this thread, it show cases what us Farang can achieve here in Thailand.
I would love to build a house but there aint no room left on Silom.
Unfortunately, i need the city life.
^ When are you heading up to this city?

Roobarb's Construction ..........

^That's a great place as well, love the two story second story wooden finish.
Like the look of it as well but as I cannot climb stairs or even steps I would have to give it a swerve and go for something like Nortens gaff.
All though his is a bit too country for me, I prefer to be in the city, but not silom its too BKK for me so udon is where I am happy with my girls and the trouble & strife.
There can’t be good living where there is not good drinking

OK --- Norton's Build .....

That's great mate. Approx what was the damage for the reno. ?
I've had to think about that because it was done over several visits and we put a wall all around the land .
I'd be surprised if I spent more than 400 000 Baht .
It's all just cosmetic really .
The old house is still there inside the new one but with new floors , new roof , new ceilings , new walls ........ Hang On !! .... maybe I spent more .
I'm so rich I don't care .

Great little gaff for that. Well done.
