Well the house has been up for over six months now, and we went up there recently to see if it had fallen down yet. Amazingly, it hasn't, about the only things that went wrong were two water leaks- one in the second bathroom, one in the Isaan kitchen/Laundry. The builders came back and fixed these themselves, no ploblems. Jeez, we lucked out with those guys.
Looking more like a home now-
This critter seems happy enough- we get some weird insects here, right next to the jungle. He's easily a foot long-
The dogs are well pleased with the place too.
Our household taro crop will be harvested in the new year. We'll make a poxy few thousand baht from it, and no doubt be eating taro for brekkie, dinner & tea for a while.
