Mini pool in the house

24th May 2008

Almost 2 days after the last update, all the cement on the 1st floor has now hardened and dried. The wooden frames had been removed leaving the cement floor exposed. The construction workers had also started working on the 1st floor columns and the front poles columns too.

Unfortunately, after inspecting the progress of the house, I noticed that there were some columns which were misplaced and were not supposed to be where they are. I wish I had spotted them earlier and the only thing left to do is to hack them and reposition it to the right place. I had checked with my wife regarding this issue and I thought we could improvise by designing a marble pole at the top of the stairs. However, she gave the final word of removing it and to follow the original plan in order not to obstruct the view from the top and from below. I entirely agree...


The whole overview of the house

Erecting the columns for the front poles


The stairs from the main entrance. Notice the 2 poles at the top of the stairs. These have to be removed and repositioned next to the kid's bedroom walls and the other one to the home theater's wall. The original idea was to put the hand rail at the top of the stair cases from the middle of the wall up until the centre of the stair cases.

From the front. The workers are preparing the steel beams for the giant columns at the front of the house.. One more column to go...

The home theater

The mini swimming pool at one of the kid's bathroom... By the way, all of the bedrooms in the house have on-suite bathrooms, so this 'pool' is one of them.

From the walk-in closet. Noticed the column at the centre of the picture which is directly infront of the Master Suites entrance. This was not supposed to be there and it has to be removed by tomorrow.

The site supervisor, Mr. Asi, checking the house plan. You can also see the column again behind Mr. Asi. It should be repositioned along the wall of the kids' bedroom's entrance which is next to the bathroom. This is where the hand rail starts. Sorry Mr. Thomas (the construction manager) for calling you about the column's issue. Apparently he is in Taiwan now for a business trip...
