Ceilings and tiling finished. Time for a short break to celebrate the change of the year.

Yesterday we finished all the ceiling work of the pyramid. This afternoon we finished tiling the entrance. So now it's a matter of the finishing touch, painting, get the laminate flooring and some wall carpets in and fix the outside sun protection roof ceiling and bringing in the pavement. We think this all will take another about four weeks. 

And in the mean time. The night of December 24th also another child was born (in Surin). 

Time for a short break now to relax and enjoy holidays during the ongoing holidays.

No lockdowns so bathroom first guest pyramid finished. First 'guests' enjoying the special inner energy to sleep already.

We succeeded in finishing the bathroom of the first guest pyramid. Making progress in installing the ceiling of the bedroom. Working with mirrors in the ceiling(s) gives a special effect.

We will not succeed in finishing the first guest pyramid this year and think next year January/February we can start using this as our temporary bedroom. Some special guests this afternoon gave sleeping inside an enjoying the atmosphere and temperature already a try. 

All together all the corners we have to deal with, with nearly every construction part, ask a lot of attention so time. 

We also finished the installation of all horizontal ceiling parts and all the electricity now.

In the process of finishing the first guestroom pyramid

Without transportation no progress. So, because our broken truck, we had to order materials to go on with the process of finishing the first guestroom pyramid. 

We had to discover a system to equalize the concrete floor and did. YouTube this time did not give us the optimal information. A hard job with a mixture of sand and cement. The first try-out part I decided to take out again. Still we now need a thin layer of special finish to make the floor great to put the laminate. 

A glas door for the bathroom is placed by a small company of our village. It's not exactly what I expected but we give it a try. We also finished the tiling inside the bathroom (connection with this doorframe) so with the exception of placing the ceiling, the bathroom is finished. 

We placed some q-con blocks and build in a safe and the bed lighting and installed the wall sockets. After that tiling and make preparations for special carpet to be glued on some walls. Just to make the internal atmosphere (sound) good. 

For the nearly flat roof parts we also installed additional 7,5 cm thick 'Stay Cool' isolation blankets. We will install a lowered ceiling for that parts. 

We got our truck back but immediately with problems again and went back to the garage. Being there it worked out not only this problems but also no possibilities to start anymore. It took the garage another day to fix them. In the evening, after having dinner at a restaurant nearby, the truck was delivered at our site. The next morning we discovered again not all the problems were solved. It's safe to drive but in a couple of days the truck need to go back again to check and adjust the back breaks. 

An ongoing process. So far I think we nearly changed 75% of the car into new. 

Again some pictures about our progress.
