Fresh paint

nothing smells better than the smell of a fresh paint in a house.

room 2 was done today - amidst all manner of inconveniences that have befallen to the contractors from food poisoning, car breakdown to heavy downpour this morning. what is left is the marble floor installation which will start tomorrow. they even managed to paint the room today! white, of course.

starting yesterday, i started to pack some of the personal stuffs that were left lying around since the renovation started 4 weeks ago. i should have packed them before but oh well...we do have other commitments that needed my utmost attention. anyway, the packing continues today as i managed to get more boxes from all over. i have been squatting at my sister's house past 3 weeks and since the family is coming back next week, the house needs to be tidied up to welcome them home.

the mosaics installation in the bathroom is almost done too. it is only 38" by 80" (times 2 walls) but the work seems to go on forever. the reason being the mosaics require more details than normal tiles for installation. some parts were uneven and these have to be un-installed and re-installed. normal tiles installation will take 1.5 days but for mosaics, this requires at least 3 days.



marble floor installation for room 2 will start tomorrow and this will take another 2 days - thereafter work for bedroom will start. i am crossing my fingers that all this can be done by this Sat - which is being overly optimistic.

benji & chombi really miss home!
