Kitchen view 2The cooker hood was got cheap for 6,500 baht from Home Pro, Udon. Normal price was baht 13,000 but it was in a sale because it had been a demo on a display board in the shop. The two-ring glass cooker hob cost about 4,000 baht (if I remember rightly) from Global House, and the stainless steel double sink and drainer cost about 2,700 complete with tap (faucet), drains, and underneath plumbing pipes and U-bends.jazzmanOct 28, 2010

Kitchen view 1We keep adding bits to this kitchen and it's still not complete. A breakfast bar still has to be built from the left hand side near the fridge to halfway across the archway. And the fridge will be replaced with a side-by-side. Cost: there is about 65,000 baht's worth of KITZCHO?® units. The solid granite counter tops cost about 18,000 baht including installation. jazzmanOct 28, 2010

wall 5Then it fell over. One night of rain was enough. This wall will be rebuilt using correct engineering and correct drainage. Another 40 trucks of dirt will be needed to top up the infill that was washed away. Probable total cost: around 250,000 baht.jazzmanJan 29, 2010

EinweihungThe house was blessed: everyone paraded round the house three times, holy water was splashed amply around then everyone into the house to deposit gifts on the bed in the master bedroom. Candles were lit and holy string tied round our wrists. More mumbo jumbo, and we moved in and spent our first night there.jazzman

Holes cut in the brick base for the cupboards.The light shining through is a special cupboard for the gas tank. There is a steel door on the outside. You drive up with you car with a new gas tank and push it in through from outside. Saves carrying the heavy tank all the way round the back to the kitchen.
Lacking any better ideas, the fronts were tiled with leftovers from one of the bathrooms.

DoorsQuite heavy and sturdy, these exterior doors are made of strong, hot pressed fibre-board to give the panel shapes. 550 baht each from HomePro. Cheap and easy to replace if they get kicked in - worth thinking about if you are building a motel or bungalows. The wooden frames (not shown) were bought at GlobalHouse, 590 baht each, made of Mai Deng.jazzman
