New Build Phrae

[ourmanflint]

After many years of will we won’t we, looks like wife is finally prepared to make a decision on building a house for wintertime in Thailand. Plot is quite small, facing wrong direction and all sorts of other wrong, but this is where she wants it, near family ( I’ve given up arguing about it…)

have measured the plot and it has an existing barn type structure on it which would probably be incorporated or not into a single storey house. 
 

Would like some input on groundworks really as only 1m space at 3 sides of the house qs planned and bathrooms I thought should be at rear so where should septic tank (1 or 2) go? How far away should they be and how would drainage be best run?

There is an easy solution: Let her do it and decide things, and let her be responsible for it.

Obviously, there will be he headache later on. But there will be anyhow headache later on. At least you can avoid the headache now. ;)

Ha, no I am resolved to keeping the peace. It can work, I know it can, just not my preference in any way

Good luck with that.

 

When I did the big renovation of my condominium, the workers and my gf and my project manager were complaining that I look too much at the details. Like: why does he do that?

Now I just removed the already broken silicone (it isn't really silicone) around my bathtub. And I will put myself good quality silicone around it. My gf asks me: Why didn't you make sure the workers did that correct when they did it?

So much about checking the work: Too much, too little, it is never correct.

Maybe you have already experience with that. If not, hold on for the ride.

Project manager too? oh dear. Well that explains many things I suppose.
