My wife went to the water company last Monday to request water be brought to our house site.
After paying the ridiculous amount of 28,198 Thai baht (Approximately $900) we were promised that the water would be connected on Friday. Amazingly, the water company showed up on Friday and got everything connected and working – without any additional tea money.
I wanted to get a better picture, but did not want to disturb the highly technical protective cardboard cover.
The topsoil mission is almost complete. My wife decided to elevate the area where the house will be a little higher than the rest of the property. Just needs to be packed down a bit and a retaining wall put up to ensure the soil doesn’t get washed away in the next heavy rain.
The small, dirt soi has taken quite a beating with all the trucks and tractors going in and out. It will definitely need to be smoothed out and eventually the city of Khon Kaen may even give us a concrete road – hopefully before I die.

Ok, let me reminds you that you are living in Khon kean, Thailand, NOT – USA .
Everything that is happening to you in Thailand, is because you wanted to live in Khon kean. Perhaps. you should ,move back to Michigan.
@jeam – I agree that I chose to live in Khon Kaen, Thailand. I just report as I see things happen.
