A walk around update of what we’ve done to our home in Thailand since it was built last year, there is still quite a bit to do. But we will get those bits done over time, we are in no rush to finish it.
@@kellywalker4494 thanks very much, but it’s actually tiles that look like wood. We wanted it to look like wood outside, but be more harder wearing.. Those tiles were the best we saw on sale at the time of building.
The house is looking good. It reminds us of our build just a year ago now, the place was empty, then the furniture was planned and bought and it really started to feel like home. I know that dialect too :) not far from my old grounds and school days, we sold up 2 years ago and now live here in Thailand full-time.
Thanks very much, yeah we’re just doing little bits at a time.. There’s no rush. I’m originally from the Suffolk/Norfolk border, there’s no hiding my accent I’m afraid hahaha
We took our time to make the move and build as painlessly as possible too. I was on the other side of Norwich in the heart of North Norfolk, so the accent was unmistakable. However, I managed not to acquire it, but it is so nice to hear it, so far from home. :)
@@markkiley9382 it’s took a year to get to the point where we are at the moment, we only moved into it in April last year.. The building of it took around 4 months. I don’t think I could hide my accent even if I tried 😁👍
the bluecover on the hood is only for manufacturing purpose to protect the metal not getting scratches, it is meant to take off when installed at the place,(you did right when removing)
Yes it seems to be a thing here, where people leave plastic coverings and stickers on things.. I always want to pull them off to make it look cleaner/better
Get a TV stand instead of wall hanging. It`s also easier to trouble shoot the TV if it`s on a stand, in my opinion. Then you have extra storage below. Is the home already wired for the AC units? I did not see any wires coming out of the walls.
Yes, we may well get a stand, it’ll just depend on what’s available and how big a sofa we get (We don’t want to make it too narrow). And you’re correct there’s no wires in place for AC units in the lounge, this is an oversight which we will find a solution for when the time comes for AC.
Are your bathroom floor tiles non-slip? We spent a long time picking “sandstone” type floor tiling to increase grip. Slippery floors are an issue for most houses Sofa - ours is same company but has an additional L at the end
@@omgitsabloodyandroid5161 Hi.. yes they’re non slip in both shower rooms, we got them from Global House, no way would I be able to stay upright on normal tiles haha.. Oh ok, we were limited on space regarding the sofa as we didn’t want to take up too much space in the bedroom with it. But I reckon when we get one for the lounge it’ll probably be a L shaped one.
@@KAndJsLifeAdventures Global House too. What a surprise eh! The L shaped sofa has a pull out for 2 beers on each arm and a USB charger built in. Quite useful
@@omgitsabloodyandroid5161 Ha! Yes Global House is a great store. Ours can only hold one beer in each arm, plus there’s no usb.. But I’ll definitely go for the usb with the lounge sofa.
Hi there, it’s a recirculating hood with a couple of filters (that are cleanable) on the underside.. We got it from Global house in Nong Bua Lamphu, it was on offer at 9000tb but that was about 18 months ago.
Thanks for the heads up, the guys that done the gates put a large metal support in the ground before we had the concrete laid, it also has 2 small supports that it slides into when closing.. They’ve been ok for nearly 2 years, but I will keep an eye on them now, thanks 🙏
Oh how wrong you are, fyi we’ve been married over 17 years.. My wife was gifted the land by her father.. This is our second home, somewhere to come and get away from our jobs in the UK.. Please don’t assume all stories are the same.
@@KAndJsLifeAdventures every Tom dick and harry got a Thai bride these days, these Thai will go with absolutely anything with a pulse and pocket full of baht , that’s why there’s plane loads every day of undesirable farang going there to get a wife embarrassing
