stoolpusher Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 And it begins. After the sight was prepared, we started the build on the 23rd April and is now finished 22nd July. Here are a bunch of photos ( hopefully the quality and order will be ok ) I took as the house progressed. I had a feature designed and put in the lounge, Dao in Thai means star and looks great . The last pic is our view from the back door , way better than looking at another building. Very happy with the job the builder and crew did and well inside my budget and now it's back to tending the different crops on the 3 farms we now have and it's very cool now having my own house book . 12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our closest village ( Ban Phue ) for getting any supplies we need is about 15 minutes , Udon where Home pro and the like are is about 45 minutes and Immigration ( Nhong Khai) is about the same but in opposite direction . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoolpusher Posted July 22, 2020 Author Share Posted July 22, 2020 The drawing in the first pic was the only plan the builder went by ( he has built many homes out of the same materials) , we didn't get official plans drawn up until about two weeks ago so we could get a house number to be able to get the electricity meter and be listed . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rom Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Congratulations Brett. A man's house is his castle, and you built a mighty fine looking one... may you & Dao find in it the happily-ever-afters that made you want to build that house and your lives together. As far as I am concerned, this is the most uplifting piece of news from my secret online ladyboy world since the dark days of covid fell upon us, and you & Dao are all but certain to be the 2020 Romscar Couple of the Year for building a purple house in a green field of dreams. Big cheers Rom 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
