Marble polishing, Parquet, and Chengai

After a really busy week, we finally managed to have a look at the apartment again. Phew~~

The floor tiles, parquet and my missus' chengai decked balcony was all layed out nicely and the "marble masters" were onsite to polish the tiles when we visited this morning. All the doors were removed to make way for our new verneer doors, and we could see markings for where to install the carpentary stuff.

Over the past week, we've been discussing with our ID about the carpentary, and we will be using the IKEA Rationale drawers to build our larder unit. We will be needing some slight deviations from the normal carpentary standards such as a slightly deeper carcass, and quite a bit of time was spent to ensure that the carpentary details were sorted out clearly. We had to endure some frustrations and long discussions, but everything worked out eventually and we're now looking forward to have the woodwork done up and installed.

Next week, painting, installation of lights and electricity, and the first wave of carpentary will be arriving!
