Construction done.... now the details.

The construction of the building structure has been completed for a few weeks now including laying of the roof tiles. 

So for or the past 2 weeks, the contractor sent his Filipinos (ceiling design expert) and Chinese (carpentry specialist) to work on the ceiling/cornices design and the cabinets. To ensure things are done smoothly, work is restricted to the first floor. As of today (12 Nov), about 95% of the ceiling area has been covered with the gypsum boards.

As for the cabinets, we resort to ideas from magazines (and yes, IKEA catalogue) to ask the carpenter to design something for us to make full use of the walk in closet. We also specifically told him to use semi-gloss white spray painted color for the cabinets instead of the traditional fake pine colour (sorry Henry if you are reading this hehehe). We look forward to meet him this Saturday to see the revised proposal.

Oh yes, the exterior walls as well as the first floor interior walls have already been painted with undercoat. Looks nice though in white and makes the kids' room look bigger than before.

What next? Time to choose the bathroom kits... sinks, tubs, bowls and the tiles. So another busy Saturday as usual..... Till the next update.
