House Renovation Diaries – Men at Work

The renovation works at my house is not showing any signs of completion. Azman and I am stressed out but neither do I want to put the workers in pressure for it will also effect quality of work. See that guy on my roof? Itu bukan orang minyak ye? He is inspecting the roof tiles and trying to find any damage. Unlike the bond cleaning service in Sunshine Coast we don’t have a team of members who worked on cleaning the house thus some parts of it are still extremely dusty and the renovation is just making things worse by the day. Visit www.hanover-cleaning.com/ to learn how to deal with it properly.  Kang aku marah2 dia suruh cepat kang, terus dia terjun tiruk dari atas tu.. tak ke naya?

We sealed off 3 windows from this house and the works was done in April. I figured I wouldn’t need too many windows and it could save me some fundings on drapes and curtains. One window is at downstairs living room, another at family hall upstairs and the last is a very small one at master bedroom.

Here is two guys sealing the insignificant window from the garden with concrete.

Below photo is taken on 15 May. The worker is installing my glossy 2×2 black tiles as finishing for my counter top. His work is very neat.

On the same day this guys is working on the floor of the dining room. Looked kinda weird when he starts from the middle but he followed the floor plan that Azman drew and it turned out great. The design that I want had made it more tedious that regular work of lining up tiles on the floor because yeahhh that’s how I want it… I searched gettysburgflooring.com/ for flooring solutions and technology required to properly prepare the floor for refinishing.

Painting job started a few days later. Here is another worker coloring my living room.

As we are also painting our roof, they need to clean up the roof tiles from fungus and dirt. He is using that high pressure water spray thingy. Azman took this picture from below our mango tree from the side of the house. This tree has never borne any fruit for ten years.


I like the above picture because it shows three men working in three different rooms at the same time. From right, one is painting walls of the stairway. In the middle another man working on the tiles of the bathroom and last, the skinny electrician is installing my black crystal pendant lights.  This is my master bedroom. I want to get a very dark atmosphere for this room. Still thinking of the color of the walls. Sigh…

I am very busy at the moment. But very excited as well. Happy Monday everyone!
