More along your lines, actually.

Most Thais won't use rice straw for a house roof for that for that very reason. It's too dangerous.

**Nawty** · 30-12-2009, 01:15 PM

Geez....wish we had followed what the Thais say then hey.

Lucky it aint rice straw then ya dick......now fuck off and go eat something ya fat fucker.....by all accounts you are a fat fucker....i am just going with the crowd here.

**Marmite the Dog** · 30-12-2009, 01:24 PM

**slackula** · 30-12-2009, 01:25 PM

Looks really nice, especially the night shot. Congrats.

**Loy Toy** · 30-12-2009, 01:37 PM

Great job Nawty and you and your family should be really proud of yourselves as this project was a family effort as well.

Good on ya mate!

Sweet. Nice photography too.

**sabang** · 30-12-2009, 05:43 PM

Well done Nawty. Those bogs would be a very nice place to contemplate things.

**BKKBILL** · 30-12-2009, 06:10 PM

Does look good Nawty were you still planning to give the loof a haircut or was that already done. When the trees in front get a little bigger it will be magnificent.

**danno5** · 31-12-2009, 08:47 AM

Looks great, congrats on the finished project!

**globin** · 31-12-2009, 07:14 PM

The weld looks OK, its the fitter that needs to be shot, like a lot of things it just requires a good joint!...multiple meanings intended

**jaiyenyen** · 01-01-2010, 11:08 AM

Superb looking house Nawty, those bedroom walls look good. Does that matting come on a roll, or did you just buy a load of separate mat's and pin them to the wall? Do they need sealing?
I wish you and yours happiness in your new home.

**English Noodles** · 02-01-2010, 06:46 PM

Looks good, what did it end-up costing?

**shunpike** · 03-01-2010, 12:29 AM

That nightshot looks awesome Nawts. Congrats mate, beautiful effort by you and the family.

Gave it a little haircut, but left most and is kindda grows on you.

Some more shade trees are maybe on the agenda, does need a lot more shade.

The bamboo comes in sheets...from memory 1.2m x 2.4m or thereabouts and we just covered the joints with wood.

We sealed them or coated them with tung oil and hoping it prevents colour change and mould. if it is in full sun and or rain, don't think you can do anyh=thing to stop it going old and dead quickly.

Prolly looking in the mirror with their bikie leathers on masturbatin..

I agree....very low....but he should just add it to his pile of other like minded stuff.

Circa 500/550k for materials and around 150k labour. Not sure exact totals yet as have not tallied latest pile or receipts.

**Nawty** · 04-01-2010, 02:10 PM

Got 5 greens in a row from this thread, maybe more as not been on for a while.

So thanks to all for the comments.

This should finish off this thread almost, maybe some stuff to add later.

Like 2 days ago a swarm of bees moved into the balcony and took over the light above.

Decided to leave them till morning to see if they move on by themselves, next day still there, so i caught them all and placed them in me spare hive to see if I could relocate a wild hive......

**UpTooYou** · 05-01-2010, 09:13 PM

What are you going to do with all your beez wax?

**Nawty** · 06-01-2010, 08:09 AM

I have a hairy arse and apparently KW is coming to visit.

That happened to us too

trouble is, they ate half the shade before moving on

**Twocam** · 13-01-2010, 05:07 PM

Love the rustic look, it looks like a real escape. Would be pointless to build a country place and then spend half your holidays cleaning it. I think I'm going to use the screened-in-room idea for our Isaan kitchen. I've been trying to think of a way to keep it really open and airy but with the bugs to a minimum.

**lozillionaire** · 26-01-2010, 11:57 PM

Love it mate; loads of character and an individual style. Where is it located? Up country?

**Nawty** · 27-01-2010, 07:41 AM

Southern edge of Khao Yai national park, 90 minutes north east of Bkk.
