Sun, 21/03 midday just after JJ finished with installing the sprinklers it rained.
It was really a downpour, raining hard and heavy pouring washing over our house.
73. 5 days of turning our house into a home
Last week as from Wednesday, 17/03 straight to Sunday, 21/03 we were going in and out crossing the causeway for 5 straight days. Each day going in as early as dawn and getting back home ard eleventish.
We've set appointments with the various contractors, carpeting, nursery and other errands to coincide with our school holiday leaves. Earlier we thought that all works could be completed before the school holidays as all the construction works were done but due to some inevitable setbacks (expected I guess) the final carpentering still going on making it impossible for the final acid wash of the whole house to be done in the same week.
The tight schedule we oversee were:
Wed, 17/03: went in just the 2 of us
1. contractors clearing out the rubbish
2. work on transforming the garden
3. went to Ah foo nursery @ Pontian with abg K order of plants
Thurs, 18/03: went in just the 2 of us
1. work on feature wall & family room platform begins
2. css carpet guy came to measure & quote for the stairs & master bedroom
3. work and installation of aluminium wardrobe @ masterbedroom walk-in-wardrobe
4. buying of lightings, paintings and porcelain sinki
Fri, 19/03: went in with the kidz with suffi & haatim overnite at Horizon Hill
1. work on feature wall continues
2. installation of lightings done by JJ
3. painting of verandah interior white and exterior green done by JJ and MKN

1. work on feature wall continues with them replacing the dented formica and took out the door to be fixed next tuesday to complete with the border for the family platform.
2. electrician men came to fix our TV on the unfinished feature wall, lightings for this area and the platform area plus the garden lightings
4. Aircon guys came and installed all aircons
3. Nursery apek came & planted the 5 plants
4. painting work continues final layers done by JJ and 4X
Since we've our aircons we decided to overnight there. Our very first stayover the experience was shared with Suffi & Haatim very excited! after clearing the masterbedroom we laid down our inflatable matteresses with the aircon on and had a contented sleep there, syukur about 80% of our dream realised....Amin.
Sun, 21/03: woke up feeling tired otherwise jubilant.
1. JJ doing gardening fixing the sprinklers
2. the washing guys didnt turn up reschedule to next thursday
3. Alex came handover 3rd payment to him
4. we did some final clearing for thurs washing

phew setting our home is not an easy task but definitely an exciting journey

In the picture below taken the following day my very own gardener JJ installing the sprinklers.
