Its been months in the calendar, but now we're down to the last week... The new house is almost ready.
There's a little stress, some issues still with windows, bedroom/balcony doors, solar waiting for PEA power to be turned on...but all will be fixed before the 31st...
And then we have to work out how to make all the document changes I need as a foreigner living in Thailand.... what fun.
It really is very exciting though, for such a long time things have been disjointed and unclear, but these last couple of weeks we see things that were left hanging being finished and delivery of items/fittings in place.
The most exciting for me has been the new kitchen, and the final processing of the car port/drive. This week we will be able to park the cars/bikes on our drive.
We got an official address, though strangely we don't have a street name, which I am sure will make for a few deliveries going astray until google maps starts to take note that Brian and Jirawan live here....
Furniture deliveries also start this week, assuming they can find it. a bit too early for my liking but there wasn't anyway to stall them longer... some paintwork is still underway so lets hope we don't get splashes on our new couch/sideboard/table/bed etc...
One small luxury we have though is we have 18 days still on our rental lease, so we can move in over the course of a few days with not too much hassle, for sure some things like internet/TV won't be switched over at the flick of a switch, but we'll be able to time the final jump and a couple of truck loads of clothes and other things with relative ease

The only currently outstanding issue, is the wardrobes for the master bedroom, we were considering having the craftsman who made our kitchen do fitted robes, but the price was high...way over our budget, so we're going to have to do a quick rethink and get something more budget friendly from Ikea. But that will be after our move, rather than before... oh well.
