Another setback


28th April 2009

It's true when people say that buiding a house requires lots of patience. After our application for an occupation permit from the government was turned down once, it recently happened again. This time, their reason was that we have not created proper drains in front as well as on the side of our land.

For that, we had to incur additional costs since it was not included in the construction contract. Thankfully, my contractor was quick in mending the situation and this time let's hope that there will not be anymore setbacks! Our furniture companies now keeps on calling us now and then asking when we want our stuff to be sent to the site... ironic isn't it?

Anyway, whilst waiting for the permit, my wife and I decided to add some more highlights to our fixtures, specifically the installation and spray painting of our sliding door frames. I had even got one door custom-built by our carpenter.



Below is the custom-built door that I requested, separating the master bedroom with the master bathroom and walk-in closet area.


This one below is the door separating the master walk-in closet from the study room.


And prsenting the finished spray-painted doors and door frames separating the formal living area and the dining room. My wife and I really like the hint of gold paint which goes well with the chandeliers and fans.
