    There is a 7mtre X 2.5mtre patio area at the front of the house which the roof will cover with a 1 mtre overhang-a small 2.8 X 2.5 mtre open area (roof overhang here also) at the rear right side will be used for washing/drying-yes it is single story and I hopefully have provided enough electrical fittings-but I don,t want to do too much as there is just me and the GF-no kids to consider (except my grown up family back home) and I don,t want to encourage our thai friends into using the spare bedroom it primarily will be used as a holiday home not my main residence although in time when my toes have curled up my GF (or wife if she chooses to ask me properly LOL) can have something to remember me by

    One easy way is (however in German, but understandable):
    666kb.com - Gratis Speicherplatz fr Bilddateien

    By browsing your computer you find your picture (less than 666 kB), then click on "Speichern" (Save) and copy the link with Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V into the thread here.

    Quite easy.

    Bill
    Our build is near Huai Yot and as I posted earlier 30 truckloads of infill were needed so 30 X 10 tons 300 tons cost us 45,000 baht (150 baht/ton) whether this is cheap/expensive I don,t know-all I do know is that the GF,s cousin paid this amount 3 years previously his house is located just across the road and is similar in size.
    So far my expenditure to the stage where the roof steelwork is completed will be 420,000 baht and 135,000 of that is for labour (payment in 7 stages)

    I believe so (all in 35K) though we still need to raise at least 200sqm at the front to the same level later on when we knock down a house that is there.

    2 Bed / 2 baht and your calculating 1.2mtb? so rough estimate of 10,000 baht a sqm ? (your also 2 floors so likely 7/8.500 psqm?).

    Your roughly 30-50 klms north of me then.

    Exciting isn't it? Waiting on those pics and seeing the development. I recently went to see my house for the first time, but I loved getting those progress pics. ( see marty's house in the sticks thread ) Just wanted you to know there are lot's of people viewing, even if they don't comment.

    We were down in Trang last week that,s why the pics are here and we will return in a couple of days as things are progressing quickly now and I want to see they carry out my instructions just as on the plan,s I drew up a couple of issues cropped up last week that we were unaware of-fortunately nothing serious but my GF and her aunt gave the builder some stick about it and things were sorted and I,ve ended up with another 3X2.5 metres added on to the carport area for just 10,000 baht so all,s well.
