EnIn spite of a harmonious design by Mrs Jazzman, the builders managed to use THREE different shades of grout on the floor tiles although the bags were laid out and labelled.jazzman

Living RoomSeen from the kitchen. For a small house, the living room is deceptively spacious. The whole floor space is usable, no wasted nooks and crannies - a result of cunning interior design.jazzman

Front PorchThe drainpipes we used for the pillars don't look too bad at all really. While waiting for the ordered mosaic tiles to arrive, we gave them a coat of green paint. They will later be adorned with some porch lights.jazzman

Back DoorThe plan is to build a pergola for shade in the evenings here and watch the sunset over the large fish pond.jazzman

CurtainsI believe they are more often called 'drapes' in AE. In the same way, the thing on the top is called a 'pelmet' in standard BE as used in central and SE Asia, so it's probably best not to confuse the Thais by calling it a 'valence'. jazzman
Einweihung.jpg
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

Front viewAll we need now is a nice garden around it and some sleek stainless steel railings round the patios. We're waiting for good weather to apply the cladding to the porch pillars. The House Registration Certificate was delivered by the Or Bor Dor on 2 June 2008 for 20 baht. At no time were we required to apply for planning or construction permissions, no blueprints were required, and no money ever changed hands.
