  1. Ah those useless  projects, got  one down the road from me, thrown money at it  they have, going to give free  trees  to the locals to plant......all I see is a  load of dead  stumps, grass 3  foot  high a  shiny  new unused  building, a  caretaker /daytime sleeper...........been like that for  over 3  years  now. Wife  went down to ask about when they were  opening............soon....3  years  now..she ended  up  buying trees  to plant herself form a REAL nursery.

    Now it  slowly declines  daily, give it a  few  years  it  will all be abandoned.

    The inherited house in Hong Dong came up a year ago and is the principal reason for my trip.  From what I understand, it needs a new roof and other work. While that is my priority in seeing it structurally fixed so it can be rented out the next 4 years and I can recoup the money that I am using to fix it.  
    I will also be doing work on my house in Bo sang. The interior is fine. It’s just landscaping, repairing cracks in the perimeter cinderblock wall, and some other things that I may do now or wait until I move back permanently in 4 years. I’ll wait until I move back to replace existing grass with new sod.  I’m bringing with me 24 new Hunter sprinkler heads for my sprinkler system.   The system uses well water which has lots of minerals in it that clog the heads. Between the 2 houses, and getting 3 dental crowns, I’ll be fairly busy. 

    Finding someone who isnt  lazy/useless is a  difficult  task, in over 10  years Ive had only two good workers, the rest are  useless. Many start off  ok then within anything from a  day to a month degenerate.

    Ive been through countless  staff. They simply  have no motivation and salary IS  irrelevant....so ignore the pay peanuts get monkeys brigade of know it  alls  who are bound to throw  in their drivel here.

    I  have one guy  lives  on site, he gets 15k going up  a  1000 a  year + many other benefits, he  might stay 18  months then gets  bored, he  keeps  coming back after some time away, he doesnt drink..many do.

    Used him on and off for  those 10  years. I can leave him alone he will get on with it, many when you  have gone will sit  on their lazy asses all day.

    He  can take  care of 15 rai with no problem, often had two staff previously who cant even manage  it as they were   lazy whingers.

    Your chance of finding  someone reliable  honest decnt   are  ....well...........slim.

    I include a motorbike, food, house, electric  water etc

    Monthly will work out cheaper than by the job probably .
