Landscape Update - Final

It's been raining cats and dogs the past few days. Couldn't a good photo opportunity in between. Came this morning and it's rise and shine, despite my kids and me are down with flu. So enjoy the update. Hopefully we wont add anything else to garden anytime soon.

Added a bougainvillea plant in the front left corner of the house to fill in some empty space.

As for the outside, we decided to plant a red palm with a miniature plant to complement it.

And finally the pano of the completed garden.

Landscape Update Part 2

Here's the second part of the update. The carpet grass has been installed together with the water feature as center point of the garden. A few greeneries has been selected to complement the water feature.

Here's another pano of the garden.

Another 10% to go to complete the garden, this will include some pebbles to fill in the area between the longitudinal slabs and wiring for the water feature. Stay tune for part 3! Cheers!

Landscape Update

It's been quite a while since my last update due to some constraints. I'm back with another project to beautify the unused space on the side of our house (previously was filled with wild grass and some nasty plants with thorns)

Had everything cleared up yesterday and planted a few trees.

Pano view! :)

Will update more...

Home Reno Blog - Almost Done

After 2 days of long, tiring, break breaking, muscle aching cleaning and scrubbing the house finally showing it's true colors :)

Let's start with the living room...



Blinds and air-cond installed.



All the lights working. What a relief!



The door finally in placed :)



View from the edge of the dining area.



Curtain installed for the sliding door and bamboo blind on the outside.



Blinds in the kitchen area with the green theme. Just have to wait another day for the kitchen cabinet to arrive :(



The guess room gets a purple blind treatment.



Blue for the boy and pink for the girl :)



Blue blinds for the son.



Pink blinds for the daughter.



The polycarbonate awning view during the day.



We went for the dark down color for the awning, still plenty of lights coming through.



View from the master bedroom looking down on the new main entrance.



Another view of the awning.



This is how it looks like now. Need to put up some kind of wall treatment to fill in the empty space.



Front entrance with the dirty tiles :) Need lots of scrubbing job after this.






A lot of garbage to be disposed!

By now we have moved most of the stuff from the old house to the new house. Just to tired to snap more photos today. Can't wait for tomorrow's cabinet installation. Will update more soon! :)

Home Reno Blog - Ceiling & Floor

Night time update :) Didn't get a chance to take the picture earlier this evening so ended up taking all these photos using flash. So here goes....



The dark brown polycarbonate awning already installed.





Concealed air-cond and electrical wiring already filled up with white plaster and sanded. Ready for touch up paint job.





Testing out the down light to assess the brightness during night time. Seems good enough, so no need to add additional lights.



In the kitchen area, the piping for washing machine already done and the tiles has been installed. So now the floor is even from the dry to the wet kitchen area.



All the plaster ceiling installation completed and painted. Can proceed with lights and fan installation.



No lights yet for the guest room. Still thinking if 2 down lights is enough for this area.



Auto gate installed with gate light integration, so now we can turn the gate light on and off with the remote. :)

According to the contractor they can start the door installation tomorrow. Hopefully everything will go smoothly as planned.
