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.

Grease TRapThe grease trap is an essential part of a well designed waste water system. They cost nearly 3,000 baht to buy. Jazzman's cost less than 100 baht to build - another $100 saved!jazzman00000

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.

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'. jazzman00000

septic_set.jpg
septic tankTwo metres deep, 880 litres capacity - there are two of these: one for the black water and one for the grey water. The interior walls have been waterproofed with bitumen paint. Note that each toilet has it own separate entry. This avoids the need of breather pipes or vacuum release valves.
This is NOT a soak-away pit - the floor is 4" waterproof concrete. The black water is drained to the second identical septic tank before being evacuated to the leach field. The grey water first goes through a grease trap.

septic tanks 1Digging the holes for the septic tanks. These are not seepage tanks - the treated water will be piped to a leach (soak away) system on the land about 35 metres away.jazzman00000
