Yesterday, I dragged @daveonarrival (Did I, Dave?? lol) with me on my new journey to go check up on the house that's we have been talking about for like million times already. I even made a post 'My last update' on the house but you know, sometimes people just lied (not intentionally, of course! <3).. so here we go, another update with loads of photo

Oh! Be warned. Lots of lots of photo! Like, really!

This time is a bit more fun though as last time I went with my aunt, we found a new way to get there! My house is like 15 mins on foot away from a canal. This Klong San Saeb (canal) has boat service that would take you to places in Bangkok! It's such a long route! How fun!!!

The whole boat ride from the beginning of the route (Phan Fah pier) to here (Wat Klang pier) took pretty much 1 hour. Whoa! Yes,I know!!! It's kinda long but sure fun as we gotta see all the local areas we don't normally see.

Then either take a motorbike taxi or walk to get to this very blue 4.5 story house. I kinda got used to the color. I used to don't like (hate) it..

This time, seriously, it's like 98% done. Just all these small spots that need some touch-ups.. Like, small stains, the windows couldn't be closed and uneven color.. like, this one! Our wall was really two-toned!

We're keeping the small Chinese shrine on the first floor right there as it's our culture believing that it would bring luck and protect the house and people..

Now I will be showing you every corner, like, if you're a theif, my house would be robbed easily lol

1st floor kitchen & bathroom

Some of you may find this weird but the kitchen is literally in front of the bathroom :D I have talked against but seems like my aunt won :/

Details

I was literally just trying to take photos of all the corners so I could see if there's something wrong or should be fixed (in case I missed it - it's just an ocd kinda thing)

1.5th Floor

Do you call it that? lol

The bath room on the 3rd floor

The house surprisingly got just 2 bathrooms out of the entire building.. One this floor is much more spacious!

Those are the stains I was talking about..

Roof top

On the 1st floor, we got the Chinese shrine. On the top floor, we got 2 more Thai style small temples. We have invited someone (who knows how to take this kind of things off peacefully) to come and try to take them off. Then, we've been told to keep both like this still as they would bring luck, wealth and all.

.. Some of you just laughed.. :/

That's Dave! @daveonarrival being too interested in my house progress lolol

I'm happy with the whole things in general so far but we actually have some problems with one of the contractor.. Finger crossed with what would happen next.

I have actually been thinking of what I would do and how it would be started.. It's really almost the time. I'm freaking out and too excited. A lot of people already told me to start small, like really small.
