Condo Refit - Long haired project manager
In my home country I rebuilt an old cottage, doing most the work myself except for the joinery for the replacement windows and the central heating. But in Thailand I took the easier path of utilising the skills of my Missus as the project manager. Anyone else try this method? ..... it's a remarkably effective and relaxing way to deliver a project. She'd already shown her prowess during the rebuilding of her own house, followed by our new house build, so I had full confidence, and she has a trusted team of builders. The brief ..... refit an older 2-bed condo that had been vacant for several years .... within my (tight) budget by using as much of the leftover fittings from the house build as possible. Open it up by removing most the old-style built in furniture and remove the low suspended ceiling. Aim for a bright 'loft-style' with good lighting. Fit 3 AC units and refit the 2 bathrooms. Contrary to the negativity about Thai Wives in the general forum, she did a great job. She retained parts of the original built-in units to save costs, but removed enough to make it much brighter, and had it re-tiled throughout. Much of the lighting, the extract vents and ceiling fan were leftover from the house build. It was going to be a rental, but now I think I'll use it, and rent out my city condo as it looks so cool. I'm so proud of my long-haired project manager, and to look at her you'd think she was an ornamental trophy wife, not someone who can manage a major refit, sitting on her camping chair in the middle of the dust and noise while giving orders to her team. -

Same joke but wrong subject. The Donald wants to be a King but he doesn't have a kingdom. He does however have a country. -

Why the false equivalence? A wise man speaks when he has something to say, a fool speaks when he has to say something. -
