Since the morning today, my wife and I together with the kids left home quite early to do some more hunting for furnishings for the house. We began our hunt by visiting Cotto Tiles in Sengkurong, in order to show my wife the jacuzzi and toilet bowls that I have suggested to be put in the master bedroom and the powder room. My wife added that it may be worth it also to get the taps from Cotto as well for areas which will be frequently used, such as the master bedroom, hoping that it will last longer than the ordinary ones.
In the middle of the hunt, we dropped by an electrical store in Gadong and looked at some fridge and freezer units, and we plan to buy four units (Oh my, that's a lot!). My wife wanted a double door fridge and freezer in the dry kitchen and a common fridge to be put in the wet kitchen. However, I insisted that we buy a standing cooler as well as a standing freezer for extra storage, and we were glad to find ones perfect to be put in the storage area under the staircases. We also surveyed for optional hobs and ovens, and found one that will be nice to be put in the wet kitchen (a 'heavy-duty' one, that is!). USEFUL TIP: Bring along a measuring tape, pen and paper when choosing the electrical items, especially if a built-in cabinet is to be installed.
After a tiring day, we ended our outing with a visit to the site. When we arrived the workers were having an afternoon break, so while waiting for them to resume work, I did some weeding in the back yard, with lots of help from Syafi and Safiya. My wife took our picture from the top floor of the house. You can view the pictures at the other BLOG.
As at today, there's a good progress with the roof beam frame installation at the front, and some workers are also busy finishing up plastering works in the laundry room, maids' bedroom and kitchen areas. Oh yeah.. Mr Lai is right.. the roof beam and gutter works does take quite some time...

Getting a closer look at the roof beam installation works from the AV or home theatre room. This picture is taken from the top of the staircases.

The house viewed from the back. Notice the shape of the concrete roof gutter.. Picturesque!
My wife likes this picture showing the roof beam frame at the left side of the house.
