RE: ---Is there a bit of light at the end of the tunnel?--Project front wall and gate in Thailand--Part 5
Hi Urs, thanks for this post. Your PD House mates seem to be very "business" type people - screwing little liars. Hope everything is swiftly resolved. Tell me, I looked at the drive way pics and see the concrete slab is about 1" lower than the border stones. Is some layer still going to come on top of that? The wall seems to have turned out great. Can't wait to see the inserts and gate.
thanks Jegor,they all are...not only PD HOUSE but they are the worst we dealt with so far..
we (me and my wife came up with a good plan)it seems as it is very common here in thailand,they all sweet talk to get your money,than dont hear,see them anymore for quite a while....or have one excuse after another one.....make promises(dates)on which they should finish,but never happens..
yes the wall looks very good,im very happy with the local crew..
there will be a layer of small stones on top of it,that inch to make it even.i dont know the exact name for it....
will show on next post(which should not take that long anymore until i will post it)
it looks good and they just finished with the inserts yesterday...still some patch up work to do....
Urs, I think you mean the small grit with resin? Yes, that is high quality. Would like to see the wall when it's finished. What did you say the whole project cost you? Would you build again on the greenfield, or go for a used house in future?
yes on top of the drive way will be very small rocks,kind of gravel,mixed with concrete and synthetic iron oxide...you will see it in part 6...
front wall and gate did cost me 170'000 baht which is about 6500 AUD..with remote motor,the whole lot without the painting,which i did..the painter blew the budget....lol....
well that is a good question,if i could buy a nice lot of land close to the beach with an old house,i might would renovate it,or build a bit a cheaper version....
i would do it again,which some little changes...as you get smarter.....lol...in overall,im very happy with the outcome,indeed.
