Wood Trim for Ceiling FinishThese 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. dozer00000

Air Powered Nail GunEvery wood worker will have an air powered nail gun. They shoot small nails into the wood and affix to the sheetrock gypsum board. It is a pretty effective way of attaching trim wood that is used universally in Thailand.dozer00000

Metal GateThe 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.dozer00000
