Wood Trim for Ceiling Finish92 viewsThese teak wood trim pieces have a 90 % fitting to allow them to be easily applied to a corner, as in this application.

Metal Gate91 viewsThe gate metal work being done offsite. Even with a simple gate design, which I highly recommend as the normal elaborate Thai style gates I find ugly, some parts cannot be done by normal site workers, such as the circle rounds, as a machine is used to bend the metal. Normally outsourcing metal work is worth it since the finishing will be more detailed.dozer

Primer Second Coat86 viewsThe second coat of TOA outside primer is applied. This is one area where it doesn't pay to corner cut, although you can get by with a single coat of an inferior primer the paint job won't hold up as it will with premo paints.dozer

Skirting Board85 viewsThe skirting board is brand shera (same as the soffit material). It is affixed by drilling holes in the concrete wall and inserting a plastic grommet. Then a hole is drilled in the skirting board which then is drilled into place. The screws are countersunk so they are level with the surface. Then a white plaster is applied (as seen) to make the screw head undetectable. dozer
