Unlimited Wet Works

A reminder to all the new couples out there re-doing the toilets: Please ensure that you get the demolition guys to hack the toilet floor THOROUGHLY. I almost has a toilet floor level with my master bedroom floor.

It's been two weeks since the hacking was completed, and the wet works are well under way. The hacked areas have been made good and the cement screed-ing has begun. We went to the work site today happy to see that the living room mess (pile of sand and cement) has been nicely laid out on the floor and the balcony has been neatly levelled up with the rest of the home.
We seriously need to remove the ceiling lamps from this picture.. ughhhh...

Our ID has taken the liberty of choosing to conceal the pipes in both toilets (adding much aesthetic value as well as cost o.o) but the toilets are looking pretty good after the wall tiles (less the feature walls) got put up. We had stainless steel pipes running around the house and welded copper pipes behind the walls. I'd give the plumbing job a 7/10 without stating the reasons.

We also have a niche opening in the MBR bathroom wall for our soap and stuff, my wife have tons of these things, and the result was a little confusing. It's not that the job wasn't well done, but simply because the wall tiles were not up and you had a yellow wall with three dark holes. Lets hope this turns out okay. (In my ID I trust)
Niche built into our hollow block wall. Color is odd now.

Finally, our MBR wall has been knocked down to accommodate our wardrobe (see 3D drawings to understand what I mean). Looking at the size of the combined MBR and bedroom 2, I have a slight inkling to not build the wardrobe as planned and keep the place as big as it is right now. Well, realitically, I don't want to lose one more room so nothing is done. Observe the picture below to see what I mean.
The connected rooms can make one HUGE bedroom space

So that's a wrap for this fortnight's report. Next week, we'll be putting up the rest of the plumbing, electrical  points and false ceiling. Once those are done, the flooring will finally being. Anyway, links to the rest of the pictures of the wet work phase can be found here.
