Good progress after 3 days

22 December 2008

After a few days, some progress has been achieved mainly finishing up the manhole at the back of the house. Apart from that, more areas has been painted, especially in the dry kitchen, prayer room and informal living room. The scaffolding at the front car port has been removed, revealing the spacious area even more. The main foyer is still filled up, and the workers suggested that they only remove it after installing the large chandelier. This is still an issue for my wife and I since the windows and doors haven't been installed!

As at yesterday, we have also finalised the design of the staircases railings. We exceeded the price covered in the contract, and have to add on around $2100 more. The installer explains to us that our design choice costs more per metre since we requested for golden decorative flowers and leaves on the wrought iron railings. So, a word of advice, go for a simpler design to get a lower price!

Anyway, enjoy these pictures for now:

Syafi extremely happy seeing the house for the first time after arriving in Brunei. He really likes his bedroom!


My in-laws visited the house last Friday.


The front car port all clear of scaffolding works. Can't wait to see the windows installed.


This picture was taken earlier on Friday at Payung Emas company. Now, the jacuzzi bath tub has been delivered to the site (below).


The feature wall in the master bedroom has been painted with my wife's paint choice.


Digging works at the back of the house.
