Gypsum CeilingI don't know how they were able to keep out of each others way, but the gypsum ceiling guys and the tile guys were working at the same time. Here, the steel supports in the living room are going up. We used foil-backed gypsum, and it took about 3 working days to complete all the ceiling work.DrDaveApr 28, 2009

Day #42 - TileStarting to lay the tile. They began by laying a few rows straight from the rear to the front of the house. This view is from the kitchen, looking into the living room at the front of the house.DrDaveApr 28, 2009

Bedroom TileTile in the front bedroom almost finished.
First, they laid the "field" of the room (all of the tiles in the center that didn't need to be cut). Then, the next day, they could walk on these tiles to cut and lay all of the perimeter tiles.
Since this picture was taken, a 4" baseboard (skirting) has been installed in all rooms.

SuperstructureView of the entire house, from the front. At the front is the covered porch - 2 meters deep by 8 meters wide. You can't see it in this picture, but there's a separate roof over this area, dropped down and recessed into the main roof by about 50cm.DrDave
