Progress seems slow on a construction site when the focus of the effort for completing a house is on the finishing details. And so it is the case in this instance. Within the last few days the baseboard wood work is now installed in the living room and has been stained, the airconditioning units and compressors have started to be installed, more of the the metal grating for on top of the perimeter wall is being fabricated and installed and painting continues. The following few pictures reflect some of this most recent progress. Thanks are extended to Khun Hino for the snapshot photos.

The Jandy Never Lube Valves for the connection of the swimming pool filter, pumps, and other connections have arrived in country and are now in the hands of Khun to be made available to the swimming contractor when installing the equipment. Discussion with the swimming pool contractor today revealed that the pool tiles will be delivered anyday now and that installation of those tiles will begin shortly afterwards and in conjunction with a rebuild of the surge/balance tank. Sandwash of the pool perimeter walkway will follow along with the installation of the lights and pool equipment. Then I guess it will all have to functionally tested to make shure all is working properly and to get the water balance to where it needs to be. Estimated completion date for the pool and everything house related is now mid to late August. I'll continue to post as circumstances and availability of pictures permit. Ciao!
