Day 52 - 22nd July

Nothing much in the earlier part of the day... mostly deliveries ... then painter was here to do touch ups... but there were some hiccups - painter while trying to finish the colored living rm wall accidentally painted it with the wrong color paint! now the piece of wall looks like milo color even though painter coated it with 2 layers of paint.... :o contactor says will settle for me ...

Workers for the glass works came in the early evening targetting to install the kitchen cabinet backsplash but found of the glass piece could not fit the cab by 4mm... the glass works sup says the piece needs to be grinded down... and have to be back another day... :( they then moved on to install the main entrance half height black glass mirror, kitchen entrance glass door & mbr toilet glass door..

Guest rm wardrobe

Son's rm wardrobe ... kiddo wanted 1 side of wall painted bright orange

P1060323-1.jpg

Some hiccups on Sunday 25th July .... delay... :(

was up at hse yesterday morning and when we went into the kitchen... we shockingly found 1 piece of the back splash has shattered!! see the pic below ...this was the same piece that had fitting problem last week and was regrinded down.... seems like the grinding down could have weaken the glass ... hopefully this piece gets replaced by end this week so that the table top measurement and fabrication can proceed... sigh.. :(

mbr toilet sliding shower glass door installed... now left the small cabinet below the washing basin..

I like the partial shower glass partition, i am thinking of using a partial glass panel myself. But the splash might end up wetting your toilet bowl, unless u have some ideas to cover up that area. Also, I am deciding between building a curb like yourself around the wet area or doing a drop down zone for the wet area. Decision Decisions...

The cut out area for shampoos and stuff is very condo-like. Nice.

**Edit: I don't know what is wrong with my eyes, I see now that the whole area is covered by glass. I blame the time.
