After 19 days of work
























Things have started to look much in shape this week. The walls of the reception room are now painted, and 1/3 of the room have wooden floors. All electric works and plumbing/drainage are completed for the installation of kitchen on Monday.

Now, the bathroom walls are re-covered, tanked (water-proofed) and are ready for tiling. Electric works are completed too, with 5 new lights and all the wiring and plumbing done.

This past week has been a week of deliveries...so many things are delivered everyday, keeping track of things have been difficult. Now the storage room has no place to set foot, and the same goes for the bedroom. Half of the reception room is also occupied with kitchen stuff and other building materials. I received calls every half an hour or so by the delivery guys or Tomek on the status of delivery or delivered or undelivered products. In the midst of it, I decided to change the color of bathroom furnishings, ordered few things that are not going to work (I'll need to work on the return once all is over), and found that several deliveries came wrong, damaged or incomplete. Sorting that out was quite a work itself.

Now that almost all of the deliveries are completed, my worry has moved on to if everything fit in the way I imagined; The woodfloor looked too light, bathroom tiles too colorful, and appliances too big when I opened the packages. I guess I would never find out how they'll all look until the work is completed.

In the meantime, the flat I currently live in has been raided with the viewers and photographers this week. It really feels like an invasion of privacy, with people opening up the closet doors, turning on/off the taps, and lights, etc. I don't think I can stand this for too long.

I really hope this craziness will end very soon.
