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. They are lacquered with several coats prior to being affixed in place. At the joints a matching 45 % cut is made so they but up to each other with no joint being apparent. dozer

Aluminum Door Installation92 viewsThe doors are installed in the pre measured opening. If there is any modification needed to the opening it is done by the aluminum window installers. dozer

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

Skim Coat Application91 viewsApplying the skim coat to the archways. The product used for the skim coat is called 'Nature White' which is a white portland cement skim coat product which mixes up using a drill mounted agitator. The product is mixed with natural die pigment to achieve coloration. It can be applied over a smooth surface in a thin layer. 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
