DAY 50 - Part 1

There was no work done yesterday, Wednesday, so I didn't post anything. We're nearing the end of renovation works and I'm surprised that they could afford to break for one day. At this rate, they are not going to complete by mid-November. As is our ritual, we went to the apt at around 10pm plus, after work. It's so difficult to leave the office earlier. There's work to be done and I can barely finish it. So the shoe cabinet at the entrance of the house has been installed. I feel as if the floor space of the house is creeping inwards inch by inch. There's so much built up furniture that has encroached the once humongous space that we are now left with very little. Sigh. 
Anyway, the outstanding (as in not yet finished, but yes, they've been pretty good too) work that's yet to be done are:-

01. Finishing up the long cantilevered table at the study
02. Installation of the kitchen sink and the standing cooker
03. All the bathroom fittings, the doors to the shoe cabinet and TV console
04. Three pendant lights for the dining table in the living room
05. To straighten all door handles
06. Finishing up the wardrobes and rectifying the oversights
07. Installation of the Ring video doorbell
08. Installation of the glass in the glass showcase
09. Installation of the glass doors in the study and kitchen
10. Connecting all the switches and sockets
11. Chase of a 2-gang power socket under the sofa
12. Paint the tiles outside the living and study windows
13. Replace the door magnet door closers
14. Replace bulbs in the kids' bedrooms and kitchen to brighter ones
15. Install clothes pole hanger
16. Install AO Smith digital thermometer
17. Install the washbasins in both bathrooms

And the list grows longer. Separately, I still have to get our Haiku fan installed, and arrange for the installation of the digital locks once the works are done. Oh and we also have the roller blinds to be installed at the end.
The shoe cabinet and niche at the entrance next to the main door.
The casing or frame for the door at the study room entrance.
A frame at the entrance next to the kitchen counter. 
Also the kitchen door frame.
The cantilevered long desk with no legs. It's as long as the study room, end to end.
View from the other side of the room.
All's good now with the glass display cabinet. The drop has been fixed, and the cupboards on top are back up.
Not sure where this piece is going. We tried figuring it out but had no idea. Most of the major pieces are already up and we can't imagine where this will go...
