DAY 26

I opened the door this morning to quite a different scene. Overnight, so much was done. The study and bedrooms have a new floor! It was an exciting and comforting sight and the smell of new wood - which I love, who doesn't? - filled my nostrils. It was quite odd to see one side of the living room (technically the study, but it looks like one big space now) coming together and the other, still messy and a typical renovation site. It was quite a thrill to see the change and the parquet flooring all laid, taking us a big step closer towards the finish line. 

Another view of the study.

Had to tread carefully as there were many nails protruding from the floor.

Scenes of contrast.

Meg's room...

...with a view of Em's room to the right.

Timber skirting painted in white.

How did we survive before the advent of the iPhone pano feature?

The master bedroom. I cannot wait to paint over that purple rectangle which is the single unit air-conditioning outlet.

The shower screen in the kitchen bathroom will have a corner door but it looks really tiny, just enough space for one to make an on-the-spot 360 deg turn! The floor tiles have been laid.

What lies beneath the floor trap. I hope there's a contraption to catch hairs and whatever other debris that is washed down. Right now, I don't see anything...
