Kitchen topNatural granite slabs for the kitchen worktops. This cost about 1,500 per sq.m. It has to be installed by the supplier who cuts out the holes for the hob and sink, and grinds and polishes the edges on site.
Suppliers charge as much again for this service plus petrol (gasline) costs if you are situated out of town.
This granite may seem expensive to some, but it is still much cheaper than that awful formica chipboard kitchen top stuff they use in Europe.jazzmanMay 12, 2007

Windows and doorsPictured is the best available quality in locally assembled aluminium window and door parts. It's what is used in modern hospitals and clincs. The paint is hi-bake epoxy powder enamel and will last for decades. The extruded aluminium parts for the windows and doors were cut to size and assembled on site for perfect accuracy.
This cannot be done with uPVC frames because the welding has to be done in the factory - requiring greater degree of accuracy in the measurements. Nevertheless, some minor adjustments to the masonry will always be necessary. jazzmanMay 12, 2007

BrixmixThe mix of cement and fine aggregate is made in this thing which looks like a commercial baker's dough mixer. These 39 x 19 x 7 concrete blocks, erroneously called breezeblocks or cinderblocks, are the most commonly used, most economical and practical solution for non load-bearing walls, and have excellent insulating properties. Almost every village in the country has a brickworks, our village has two. Here's ours just 600 m from our house. The price of a brick in 2009 was still only 3.50 baht, including free delivery of course.jazzmanMay 12, 2007

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.jazzmanMay 12, 2007
