25th December, Christmas day, at 5.30 PM all the wanted plastering on the inside of our house was finished. Thailand does not really celebrate Christmas and there are no holidays for this, just a normal Wednesday for working.
Exactly 7 days it took for three workers from our village to do the plastering. They needed 33 bags of ready mixed Tiger brand plaster (1650 kg in total) to get the job done and delivered high quality work. It's all drying now.
Next step, after drying, will be painting a special TOA Hydro Quick coating as a primer layer before our next steps we want to do with the walls.
Except for our friend with his excavator and the people from the electricity lines to our land, these three men were the first we hired in five years.
We, for them temporarily, tried to be a good employer offering them daily a warm lunch from our 'famous' restaurant in the next-door village, drinks and snacks and beer/a shot Sisip (40 % alcohol drink) at the end of their working day.
Yesterday they all received a big bottle of Hongtong Thai Whiskey and a tip as an extra 'thank you' and to celebrate the New Year.
Very thankful they did do this hard job for us (and better for my back after the problems I got two times during our building process already).
Just a picture impression of the work they finished for us.
In the mean time we worked on making the floor of the veranda with SCG decorative floor planks. We give them already a two layer special coating as a first protection.
Our dogs now can walk and run around the house already. A new happy experience for them again.

Thank you all for following us during our building process again this year showing your interest. Also next year we hope to go on to show you on a regular base our progress. Have a nice change of the year and a happy and healthy 2025/2568.
