Hi Chris,

Firstly, congratulations on a superb build.

I am soon to be having the ceilings done in mine and I want to get the same look as yours. Have you got any more pictures of the framework and what systems did you use?

The ceilings are the standard khmer very light weight furring channel where the hangers,main bar and furrings are all the same section screwed together.
Along with the 9mm gyprock sheet where they never stagger the joints.
In the west we always stagger the joints so the flushing is less noticeable and it is less likely to crack.
Her it doesnt matter,no one knows why?

^^ What he said

Just looked through my pics but didn't get any good ones of the mountings. Thailand also use concrete slabs for the floors in residential buildings so I'm sure they do it the same way there.
