Kitchen CounterWe weren't able to find reasonably priced wood doors for the thai-style counters, so we opted for these plastic ones. (In Phuket, we could have bought nice looking wood doors for the same price of these plastic ones). A stainless steel sink goes under the window, and the top, sides and front of the benches will be covered by 20x20cm stone-look tile. DrDave

Kitchen CounterCommon wall with the living/dining area. This section of the counter will have a simple 2-burner gas hob in the recessed area of the top.DrDave

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.DrDave

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.DrDave

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.DrDave
