latest update

Today's update is mostly in the form of pictures.  Gary arrived home this morning and has taken a lot of pictures of the latest developments.   They have done most of the bathroom tiling in all the bathrooms and have started laying the floor tiles.  All the outside rendering is complete.  It's going along quite well at the moment.

Might be a while between photos - Holger the project manager is on holidays for a month and Gary doesn't head back for a week or so but I'll share as they come through.  Trying not to bore you with too many pics but if you want to see more, send me a comment :-)

 

Ciao for now.







ceiling and tiling

Thought I would share a few photos that Gary took yesterday.  They're tiling the bathrooms and doing the ceilings.  Seems that one lot of bathroom tiles they told us they couldn't get, they actually did get.  Gary has chosen new floor tiles which are almost exactly what we had previously chosen.  At the moment he's trying to choose bathroom fittings - basin, vanity, taps etc.

I'll post more pics as I get them.

 

a roof over our heads

Finally, after an almost 3 month delay, we have a roof on our house - yippee!!!  Holger sent these photos through last night.

You can see in the second last photo, they've started to render the outside walls now the roof is on.  We have already chosen the outside wall colour so they can go ahead with all of the painting too.

 

Along with the good news though, he also gave us some bad news.  2 lots of tiles we had chosen are not available.  One of the spare bedrooms bathroom and the major ones - the floor tiles.  Bugger.  Gary is going to have to head back to Krabi to choose an alternative.  He'll pick a similar one for the floor tiles and I'll have to trust his judgement for the other bathroom (eek!!)  I'll let you know how that goes! 

 

We're also waiting for a couple of quotes on the kitchen.  We have one drawing at the moment.  Can't share that right now as we agreed not to use the kitchen company's drawing unless we use them to build the kitchen (copyright etc).

 

Will share more pics as they come through.  Holger has promised to keep sending them.

 

Have a great day.
