If it isn't Mr DIY.


Back once again with the chisel and plaster, Grade 4 bandage, window sill and painter.




So I got this big ass fugly well right in front of the ze villa, with an (impressive) pump that pumps up the good stuff into a big water filter system that then feeds it into the bathrooms and kitchen.

No water bill. 200 or so baht a month savings right thurr. But it is a big U.G.L.Y you ain't got no alibi, you fugly... you fugly thang. This wonderwell needs a masterplan.


I've been so busy since moving in 10 or so months ago that I haven't even had a minute to look at it. There are some Christmas garden parties planned so might as well Bruce Springsteen it up a bit.

For the last 10 months it's looked like this:



My eyes, my eyeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssss.


Lil' Blacky the BBQ on the left before the water filter system, and the remnants of my charcoal chopping on the path.

The tile covers a nice large purpose built hole, presumably for throwing unwanted pets into.

The tile itself is odd, because there are none of those in the villa.

Anyway, decided to look at it for the first time yesterday and holy fudge, the top actually moves.




Well would ya looky at that.

Wonders never cease.

Looking in, it became pretty clear that....




The top concrete ring that starts above the ground will only ever be needed if there's another December 2004.

So why not fok it off?


Have some koont take it away - maybe.

Roll it off to a part of the garden and use it as a tree pot - fugly.

Break it up with a hammer and shiz, then throw the rubble into the neighbouring plot - maybe. But how easy is it to break up one of these koontin' things?


So, current plan is:

1. remove lid.

2. remove top ring.

3. Place lid on the new top ring just above the ground.

4. Place the removed ring back on top of it.

5. Paint the whole thing brown.

6. Put in potted plants, a palm or some shiz, in a manner that doesn't drain down into the well.
