House Construction in our Lao Garden (October 2002)
We are building a new house in the garden. The new two-floor house has
living rooms, bedrooms, a new kitchen for the family, and a new kitchen
for the restaurant.
The door steps have been made in concrete.
The dwell is right in front of the house.
Straight at the back is the newest restaurant hut near the ponds.
The flower beds are
finished and filled with plants.
The garden right in
front of the house as it looks like after the house construction. I am sure,
Mum and the gardener will work on it to make this spot nice and beautiful.
Inside the first floor, we have the living area to the left, and teh
dining room straight ahead.
The walls and ceilings are finished, and the electrical stuff is installed.
The wooden floor will be installed later.
The living room with
a big window to the garden, and a smaller window to the working room.
View from the living
room towards the stairs. Behind the wall on the left is the kitchen area.
Here will be our kitchen
with a backdoor to the outside. We do not install the kitchen for now, as
the restaurant kitchen can be used.
Our second living
room upstairs.
Going aroung the back
of the house (south side near the restaurant huts), ...
... we get to the toilet entrance.
Here we have our shower room.
The hot water comes from the flow heater at the wall. There is no special
water boiler installed in the house.
