Someone asked how are corner tiles being finished? Some use corner pvc pieces, but personally I think that is unsightly. I prefer how my contractor did, cutting 45 degrees to the edge of the tiles and join the 2 pieces of 45 deg like this:

Good job :thumbs up:

Post more photos please :dancingqueen:

OK, hope I don't bore you with the builder work details

Preparing the front porch, notice the leveling top up? Contractor puts in the steel wires, this is necessary so that the concrete can be held together firmly by the steel and don't crack easily.

OK, since you are interested (impressive ladies), I will continue to blog and share the knowledge I learn.

If you are doing renovation and intend to change the toilet layout on the 2nd floor and above, try to position the WC, the floor trap and shower floor waste properly so that when these pipes connect to each other, they can be in-line and near to the wall. Then you can do a box up below and create as high a ceiling below as possible.

Example: can you see the (starting from left), the WC, follow by toilet floor trap and then the floor waste (hidden behind) all in-line.

Before

After box up, it now appears as if it is a side beam, and therefore can maintain higher ceiling at Level 1 instead of dropping the entire false ceiling. Now can only see the vertical waste pipe connecting to below ground and to the Inspection chamber. This can be covered easily with either, box up, kitchen cabinet etc.

Hope I have not confused you, am trying my best to make it as easy as possible to understand.
