Our friend, Ray, from California called around 6:17 AM to see how we were doing and if we could help his Aunt with her A/C when we returned next month. We are usually up by that time but this morning we slept in.
I have been trying to get a lot of rest so I stay mellow with this re-model. It is extremely stressful on any re-model project as it is tough to build someone else's dreams.
Now, add in the commutations factor and you have a set up for a lose, lose. We want win, win!
Daeng fixed pineapple and coffee. The roof tile guys showed up for another day on the roof. Life is good!
We went to Tesco/Lotus and had breakfast and picked up a few things like instant coffee, jelly and some fruit.
Salad did not show up at noon and when I ask Daeng about it she told me he said he would try to come by at noon. Communication error!!! TIT!!!
About 1:00 PM at man from Cat Telecom came by and said he wanted to change the password on our wireless router. I told him I did not want to change it. Well, you would have thought I called the King a bad name. he called his boss and i talked with him on the telephone. It was not our wireless router password he wanted to change but his router password. Communication error!!! TIT!!!
Around 3:00 we went to the afternoon market and bought eight (8) pineapples for 42 THB ($1.31 USD). I love pineapple and at that price we can eat a lot. At Costco, in California, they are around three US dollar each, in season.
it is around 5:00 and we are just waiting for the refrigerator repairman to deliver the refrigerator we had repaired. Yea, we can save 15 cents a day on ice.
The refrigerator guys just left and the refrigerator is humming away. The refrigerator man said not to buy SAMSUNG's two door refrigerators in Thailand as they are not made good. We paid him the 1,070 THB ($33.43 USD) for repairing it and thanked him. it is in nice shape and the cost new a few years ago was a little over 7,000 THB ($219 USD).
I laughed to myself as two years ago we bought a two door KITCHENAID refrigerator in California for $1,400 USD and thought we got a good deal.
The roof is looking pretty good except the emergency drains are too low. They should be about a half inch above the tile
line and they are about a half an inch below the tile. That means when it rains water will go out those pipes to the side of the building all the time.
Salad came by tonight and we agreed that we would pick out the tile color, the doors, the toilet and the sink for the new bathroom. We will do that tomorrow as he wants to start the bathroom on the 24th.
TIT!!!!
