She can swing a machete when needs be and watching the coconuts fall to the ground was enough to keep us in place !!!! Now that is very worrying lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yessongs Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 @Pumpuynarak Beautiful yard Cliff.....well done. We pay 500 baht per month for 24/7 security, one way in, one way out, with that though, every Sat the village street sweepers come by on foot and clean up every house in front of leaves, other various debris etc. If you want more, you have to pay them to come inside your yard for various things. Do you have that too there? Love your huge lot, unfortunately at wifey's house here, none of them are that large.....I trim the few things she does have.....but not in this fucking weather LOL! This tree here, I was out there for 10 minutes the other day.....that was it. It can wait LOL! Your wife is looking great these days.....it's hot outside now, don't be out chasing her around the front yard with a "woodie" The neighbors might see you 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your wife is looking great these days.....it's hot outside now, don't be out chasing her around the front yard with a "woodie" The neighbors might see you Thanks Mike, nahh we don't get any assistance with cleaning the road or security, our Thai neighbours just won't pay for it. The road imo looks a mess well other than our frontage which wifey regularly cleans, you won't ever get me out there cleaning or tending to the garden its just toooooooo damn hot !!! Our gardener comes twice a month and we pay him 1200bht for the big job (4-5 hours) and 500bht for the small version (2 hours). The standard of his work is not up to English standards but for what we are paying its ok, he don't know what a fork or a spade is for tending the flower beds/lawn edging, he just uses a Thai type tool that i've never seen before and needless to say it don't end up looking as good as it could. TIT mate When we bought our house we bought two plots of land, one for the house and one for the garden but now after 17 years of ownership we have a few major refurbishment jobs needing doing but we just can't get suitably competent workers to carry out, one of the problems with living in Korat/Isaan. Yep just like your wifey my wifey looks after herself in every respect and we reap the rewards ehh lol Coming to Thailand and meeting our ladies was akin to winning the lotto imo lol 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife's son did our extension and roofing and did a nit half bad job of it too. He doesn't speak our tongue so you would have to go through (sorry) Mrs PP but his work was quick and,from what I can see, pretty good quality certainly comparable to the UK. Let me know if it is of interest and I will see how busy he is. He lives in chock chai as does most of his team. He was deeply involved in the suratnaree development but does smaller jobs too. I found his prices were not bad either 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found his prices were not bad either Thank you so much, i am more than interested. The first job i would like done is the refurbishment of our bathrooms, the tile grouting etc, i then need the garden wall repainting and the list goes on...i'm more than happy to wait until he can do. I'm quite happy paying a good price for a good job. I have to say the work he has done for you looks a great professional job, just what i am looking for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
