back in BrisVegas

Hi Honey - we're home. 

Arrived back in cold (brrrrrrr) BrisVegas on Wednesday night.  What a shock after being in 30+ degrees each day.  It rained all of the last week we were in Krabi but it wasn't cold.  Lots of clouds hanging around the Krabi mountains.

It did hold up the builders though but I don't think they actually had much to do until the roof tiles were delivered.  We actually managed to get our first choice of roof tiles so obviously someone else ordered them as well.  Half of them were delivered the day before we left and they had put them up on the roof to start putting them in place.  They had started actually attaching some to the roof while we were there.

 



They also poured the concrete for the terrace area out the back leaving room for the pool (we hope to eventually get). 

 

 

We're home now until they need us to come back.  We chose all the tiles for the bathrooms and floor and we also have a couple of kitchen design companies doing drawings and costings for us for our kitchen which hopefully won't be too expensive.   We've chosen bathroom basins and toilets so they have plenty to go on with while we're not there.

We flew home via Kuala Lumpur and spent one night there.  I wanted to shop at Chinatown for a new handbag (genuine knock off) but couldn't find anything I like - who would have thought.   

Holger, our project manager is going to send updated photos while we're not there so I'll post what he sends when I get them. 
Hope everyone is well. 
That's all for now.

not always gorgeous and sunny

Just thought I'd share these pics from yesterday's trip to the beach - just to show you it's not always sunny.  It rained hard for most of the afternoon and showery overnight and is overcast and showery here today as well.  Well, it is the wet season so it's to be expected.

more pics of the house

They've started rendering some of the walls in the house so I thought I'd share the photos. These were all taken with my phone not my good camera.  They're ok.  Sorry, the last couple of photos aren't of the house - but I just love Thai orchids. :-)

I'm sure eventually the novelty will wear off :-)
