Went down to the house yesterday to kaypoh with the progress. Hoping to see the wood works on the balcony which we were told was done last friday. Instead, when we reached there, the woods were not laid yet :(

However, the painting throughout the house has completed. We believe it was only the first coating as there were about 2 full cans not opened yet. We are not colourful people and chose ICI Light & Space's Frosted Dawn for the whole house. Actually, had wanted to have it pure white.

Also, we noticed that our Master Toilet's feature wall had been oil-glazed. Now, it looks 'shinier' and blacker.

Renovation works were kinda slow for last week. Only two major things were done. The parquet at bedrooms were finally cured and treated and lightly lacquered.

Also, the chengal woods at the balcony are laid. Only waiting for the final coating which will be done before the handover.

Parquet in the house:

Hi Reiki,

notice that you knock down the wall between the front entrance and the kitchen, doing glass partition there? :)

Yup, we will be erecting a glass door there. And also, at the entrance from kitchen to dining room. :)

At last, our joinery works are slowly progressing. The first step is to box up the common HDB water/sanitary pipes in the toilets and the balcony.

Boxing up works - not completed:

At the Master Bedroom Toilet

(The number of shelves in the Recycled Wardrobe is not right. We should have hooks to hang for our day to day recycled clothes)

We built a Recycled Wardrobe to store the water tank. Also to place the daily 'recycle' clothes.

At the Guest Toilet

After a bad week with our joiner, which he supposed to finish all woodworks at MBR n Study area by 20th Sept, we managed to see some of the works [almost] done yesterday:

Master Wardrobe

Initially, we wanted to have a WiW but due to space, our designer suggested a back-to-back identical master wardrobe.

Wardrobe in Study area

Study Table

Designer forgot to submit the drawing for a top cabinet to the joiner. As such, the work is delayed.

Lightings

All throughout the house, we only use halogen down light except for the dining area. Some lights were up and running yesterday:

1. At the Master Toilet

Works are still not completed here. Where the lights are, they should be covered with glass.

2. At the Common Toilet

It's 'Recycled Wardrobe'. A term used by most IDs. I was also confused when the term was first introduced to me.

Basically it is a wardrobe to store our tshirts and/or shorts and/or jeans that were used once and not due for washing yet. Think it is neater to have a proper place for such thing. :)

Edited by Reiki

ahhh ok ok true la having a proper place makes the place looks better. sometimes using those hooks and stuff can be very untidy...
