The race against time

1st March 2009

Presenting the latest look of our house... finally with a set of main entrance doors! Work has been progressing quite well. Almost all electrical items have been installed, as well as plumbing works. The built-in cabinets is progressing fast too, and soon the worker will start installing that in the dry kitchen. We really can't wait to start cleaning up (even though this is normally done by the contractor) and moving in...

Enough said, enjoy these pictures...


Shower head installed in the master bathroom... Quite an investment needed in order to have my dream shower, straight from the ceiling!


Our IKEA wash basin finally put in its place.. We bought a rotating mixer tap on purpose to ease bathing a baby in the future... No need for the normal plastic bath basin anymore!


Shower taps in the play room


A close up shot of the shower head brought back from Brisbane


Syafi and Safiya will enjoy their showers as both their rooms have this huge shower head I bought here in Brunei


Wet kitchen sinks and mixer already installed


After the long wait... finally the in-sink erator has been installed... also brought in from Brisbane


We also instructed one of the workers to install some mirrors in most of the bathrooms


Laminated timber flooring laid out in a fast pace


With the main doors already fixed, we finally had the chandeliers installed in the formal living room


A close up view... It took two months to arrive because it was a customised order


Matching chandeliers in the adjoining dining room... I like the reflection of the floor tiles on the fan

On a final note, our best regards especially to Gembo and family... we are very sorry to hear about the meningitis infection and we pray that you get well soon.

Mrs G: Thanks for ur thoughts - they've ruled out meningitis. Results are not conclusive yet. He's improving.
