The flooring in the cool thai house was done so dropping a bowling ball on it wouldn't do much damage!  After seeing the job done on a patio with razor thin layer of concrete and the rebar metal sitting below in sand, I paid particular attention to the progress here.

To prepare for the pour metal rebar (gauge 2 hun) is hand tied into a mesh pattern.  (20-Apr-04)	A stick is used to designate the height of the pour.  Here we used a height of 7 centimeters for the pour (allowing 3 centimeter for the tile).
A tile mesh pattern is created above the sand flooring.	Pour in progress in the front bedroom.
Pour close up.  (21-Apr-04)	Pour in the great room in progress.
Great room nearly complete.	The still wet surface is 'roughed' in preparation for tiling.  (20-Apr-04)
Roughed surface.	Hand mixing concrete for the carport pour.  (18-May-04)
The carport pour is 20 centimeters thick.	A smoothing tool is used to correctly level and slope the patio.  (03-Jun-04)
Shaping the driveway.  (27-Jun-04)	For outside surfaces that will not be tiled, they can be done is a semi-smooth, non slippery, finish.  (04-Jun-04)
