The first two photo's begin to transition from 
"the teak issue" to prepping for floor tile.
"the teak issue" to prepping for floor tile. I don't really have any words to add since my nearly daily phone contact with our PM Rob has been slowed due to his own travels. But I think the photo's pretty well paint the situation well.
This first photo is looking from the "living room" across the upper bedroom into the bath. Yes, up there is a very open plan. On your right is the wall dividing 'inside' space from 'outside' space while remaining under roof. The cupola feature is above our heads here but you can see the teak applied onto the underside of the upper roof.
What needs to go in up there now are windows...
You can see in this photo, and the second one the scratch coat in preparation for the tile. There is a coat above this one before tile is applied.
This is a great view of the upper veranda. It would appear that only some of the varnish has been applied to the teak, so some work needs to be done there. Dick and I have fans to take down with us that will provide air movement when breezes aren't enough. This space is about 9 feet wide. So while not huge, it is a generous outdoor space.
What will go in on the left are sliding glass doors to divide 'inside' from 'outside' - a distinction that is sometimes very fluid in Costa Rica.
In these next two photos, the undercoat is being applied for the floor tiles. This first one is at the top of the stairs. The second photo
shows part of the living room/kitchen area done. The pipes you see against the wall across the room are hot/cold supply. Between them is a drain pipe.

This final photo
you can see the texture applied to the outside wall. This is the wall along the stairwell. That window opening is for the lower "bedroom 2" shower space in its bathroom. Those two wires are for two things. One is a switch to turn on the lower bodega (closet or basement) lights. The other one is to turn on lights along the stair wall to light the way.

I have exterior switch covers for these.
