So Mike, did some stealth spell shecker remove all the swear words as you were writing that e-mail or what? 
Hope you get it sorted, although I think having someone there breathing down his neck will sort him out.
Good luck. 

No I refrained from putting in words that he may understand in english, however, the text in the e-mail is in red and bold, if thats not enough to show him how pissed off I am. The other e-mail I sent to my mate out there is below, he had his house built by the same guy.
morning/afternoon Tricky, See my latest e-mail to homeset below, f****n thai builders are so full of b******t, words to not express how pissed off I am at the moment, and i cannot wait to get over there and see that f***** Mr Chaichest. Could'nt run a piss up in a brewery, let alone get a job finished on time, or as promised.......sorry did I say promise......yes he did promise, not sure he understands what that word means?
Looks like I could be busy finishing some work on the house myself when I come out, in which case if I do, will deduct very large amounts of cash from Chaichests final payment. 150000baht a day, as I don't come cheap LOL.
He told Kate the other day he would pay for us to stay in a resort...do you know any resorts in Wanon?...I ain't stayin in a f****n resort.
Anyway rant over...How are things with you, hows the baby and that?, hows the rest of the lads?
See you soon.
Mike
