Last additions - Jazzman's green house

The washbasin in the en suite bathroom. A flush fitting basin (650 baht, Global House) and a PVC cupboard unit (900 baht, village hardware store) guaranteed not to rot! The 'marble, tops were made from lefovers from the Granito floor.

Living room ceilingThe ceiling was done this way because:
Mrs Jazzman wanted one like it.
It's very easy to install. Took 2 men 2 hours for 40 m2.
It's cheaper even than plasterboard (Shitrock?) at around 50 baht per m2 including the rails.
It gives instant access to any part of the attic.
Allows a rapid redistribution or addition of lighting elements and fans etc.
Jazzman likes it too (although he thought it was a bit kitsch at first)

PorchThe gable end is covered with the same cream coloured 3" SHERA board that will be used for the soffit. The drainpipes for the Tuscan pillars can be clearly seen. They will be clad when we get an idea of what with- probably light green mosaic tiles.

Porch ceilingPorch ceiling made of plasterboard aka gypsum board, Rigips, or known in the US as sheetrock? In the picture is the recess for a downlight. Atilla has recesses like this in all his rooms for the ceiling fans. The Thais just love working with plasterboard since they discovered it last year...

The first wallsWe thought they were going to tile the roof first. 8 ton of tiles had arrived the previous day according to the logistics, just to sit around for another 3 weeks while all the exterior and interior walls were raised.

kitchen archThe kitchen arch now complete made of plasterboard, (Rigips) or what Americans call shitrock?
There are four swivelling dichrotic lights embedded in it.

Kitchen base units.Frustrated at not being able to get nice wooden base units carpentered locally, we finally bought these nice cupboard fronts and a matching 3-drawer unit in a sale at Global House. Sale? Hmm... still not cheap - this is 22,000 baht's worth of wood !
Nevertheless, factory made and very nicely finished and polished.

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.

Tuscan PillarsThe drain pipes were carefully lifted and let down over the rebar and filled with concrete. If you wanted to save a lot of time and money and did't mind having round columns everywhere instead of square section ones, you could make them all this way. It would be a very strong construction, and give rise to some interesting comments about your architecture. We will be building our hexagonal sala (gazeebo) this way

so they tiled the roof...We thought we could catch up on a long overdue trip to Nakhon Pathom, Bangkok and Jomtien while they tiled the roof. Mail me, PM me, or simply post in the forum if you can spot the TERRIBLE MISTAKE they made while we were away. This was the only problem during the entire project. It was easily rectified, but it proves that expert supervision is needed all the time.jazzmanFeb 17, 2007
