Almost complete......... land cleared and leveled off ready for concreting of carport and driveway to the road some rendering to be done around the terracing and a final wallop of paint
Petermik, thanks for a good thread. Might come useful too, in near future.
Hi Petermik,
House is looking good, what is it with tiles? If you've read my thread you'll see they laid the tiles in the bathroom all wrong and had to rip them down!! The final product is great and I love mine. I think it will always have a work in progress though. Congrats on a good thread mate.
The house looks good, and thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the comments guys,we are off down to the house next week as the furniture is being delivered then and the concreted carport/ driveway will have been done-they have done some external rendering around the front of the terrace that will need painting at a later date (when the cement has dried properly) a month should be enough.The tiling in the lounge was a cock-up by the tiler-full stop he should have seen the difference in the tile colours-it wasn,t a lot but enough BUT maybe he,s slightly colourblind-I don,t know LOL
When I first started this build I had a figure of 1.2 million baht in mind (going off all the info I had gleaned from websites like this) somewhere i had read that total build cost was about 30% of final price,my build cost came in at 360,000 baht.
My final figure has come in at 1.29 million baht but this includes a kitchen/stainless grills and terrace railings/cement architrave around doors and windows and the decorative stonework around the concrete pillars at the front of the house-these "extras" cost 120,000 baht so all in all I,m very happy with the final outcome-and so is the girlfriend obviously, it will be hers totally one day............maybe sooner rather than later if she decides I,m now surplus to requirements
I went into this project with my eyes wide open knowing full well that there are no guarantees in life-no one knows what tomorrow may bring but she has saved me money all throughout the build and suffered some earache from me from time to time while this has been going on-but she,s still has the same outlook on life she has had since we first met and I thank her for that.
If at anytime in the future things changed and I wasn,t happy anymore I would simply move on.
To everyone that has followed this build I hope you have enjoyed it and if I can help anyone else in the future feel free to contact me.
Final pic will follow in a couple of weeks.
Bye
Just a little extra work completed.............we finally moved in 06/09/2015
Bye.................
Looks very nice mate well done !
Looks Great Pete, nice one
Another great build for 1.3 million baht. $ 52000 AUD
Bloody brilliant stuff,
I mean compared to the real world these prices are a joke, the best part being it's not a lot to lose if things don't pan out relationship wise.
Solid looking build as well, good luck to him.
Fantastic Peter and I wish you and your wife many enjoyable years in your new home.
Thank you for the nice picture...great job
I was chatting on line with my mate back in Perth tonight.
He told me he has just bought a new American made " Lance 8555 S " slide on Camper. Set him Back $ 54000 AUD.
He then went out and bought a Ford F 250 second hand to carry it, cost $40000.
All up package $ 94000 AUD or 2,350,000 Baht.
Just a comparison of the outstanding value of your house.
Well done Peter, excellent job and thanks for persevering and sharing.
I like your Kitchen, subtle and different.
Good job - looks great
