Building in Kep.

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

One would think he's invested, with his enthusiasm!

Aha I wish I could access Kampot noticeboard, but they don't allow me, no idea why.

Does somebody here know someone who can remove a tree in small pieces? Already looking for someone for months to remove that tree in front of the gate but no luck so far.

One of the contractors (he polished your concrete and did your terazzo) msg'd me and told me he was working In Kep- I asked as I thought it may be the same build. I drove down to meet him during his lunch break. When I arrived your architects recognised me from my cafe and gave me a tour. I posted about it on the 'architecture, design and construction Kampot (and kep)' group. The feng shui comment was a joke replying to Chinese interest.
Very cool build. Would love to see it finished.
Also...if you want to get on the Kampot noticeboard just give me a shout.

Thanks Gus, I didn't know you visited yesterday, something my architects didn't mention.

Kampot noticeboard is very censored and the mods have their own agenda.
Can't say a bad word about ' their ' town!
Kampot noticeboard 2.1 , however, one can say what one wants without fear of discrimination.
I would suggest 2.1 rather than the other.

Well, if one were to look at Angus Welans, very enthusiastic reports on your build.....one might make a connection!
He's so keen on your place, it may well be made of gold!
Reckons the feng shuay is all wrong though @

I wish I understood this reply, I googled Angus Welans but couldn't find anything about my building. I would love to see enthusiastic reports about my build! But while everyone can visit (and some ceo members did already), Angus wasn't one of them. He's welcome though.
Angus Whelan - he's on FB and one of the founders of the Kampot Noticeboard and the Architecture, Design and Construction Kampot (and Kep) groups and the owner of Cafe Espresso.

He is building himself and is interested in terrazzo so thats how he found your place it seems as the company doing ur place told him where they were working nearby as I understand it

He's a nice enough feller and his tastes seem similar to urs K

Hope to pop down for a progress check on Monday - will msg u

Sorry @Caliborn, didn't check here (or did check and forgot to reply) for a couple of days. I didn't get any private messages from you though.
Here are some updates in the pictures, all is almost finished (but I've been saying that already for a while, it might still take another couple of weeks). There are more pics if you click on the 'website'. You can always ask me here if you have questions.
They're currently (saturday almost 8pm) working to put up the widows for the living room.

Edit: @Caliborn do you use another username as well, just noticed I had some pm's from 'R....R...' but I gave a wrong number 382 instead of 381
