DAY 45

The carpentry works continue. The cabinets are being installed in stages and bit by bit we are inching towards the finishing line. Some issues have cropped up but they are minor (so far) and we are just watching and enjoying it, seeing things take shape. The handover date is mid-November after a two-week delay due to the rehacking of floor tiles. I think they are on track for this handover date and we intend to move by the end of the first week of December. We've not started to pack properly so that's going to be a headache...

The kitchen counter (island) and drawers (right) before installation. Meanwhile, the La Germania cooker has also arrived (left box).

The drawers will be welcome storage space. The drawers are also soft closing...nice!

The Fujioh cooker hood has also arrived.

The glass display case for our cameras will be placed in this space.

The study.

A wider shot.

This is where the glass door between the living and study will be located.

The master bathroom basin cabinet and mirror cabinet are up!

Not a lot of space in the mirror cabinet.

We bought semi recessed basins to save a bit of space in the cramped bathroom.

The TV console is currently being stored in Em's room.

The kitchen...it's tiny. 😔

This is where the fridge will be placed.

The kitchen is very small and cramped. On the left behind the foreground wall is where the washer and dryer will be placed.
