I've been away for 9 days on a business trip, and just got back in town today. I was so anxious about my new flat, the trip felt like a month rather than 9 days.
As soon as I left luggages at my rented home, I rushed to the new home to see how things are.
With a sigh of relief, I saw everything moving along nicely. Bathroom walls are tiled, save for the decorative tiles (the ones I purchased in Istanbul), and two-third of the bathroom floor are now tiled as well. The bathroom is a calming turquoise, not "too blue" as I feared before the trip.
Kitchen units now occupy one corner of the reception room, with all appliances (except for the free standing fridge/freezer) installed by the kitchen fitters. During my flight out to Tokyo last week, I pondered my saneness for selecting the "calvados" wooden furnishing for making the flat looking old-fashioned and dull. It was therefore a nice surprise to find that the units not only looked modern, but also cozy and unobtrusive.
Most of the reception room is now covered with wooden flooring along with half of the hallway.
The builders told me that their target finish date is next Tuesday...meaning I have less than 1 week to wait for the completion! I may even consider moving in before my stuff arrive from San Francisco. I'm getting really annoyed with 4 real estate agents leaving messages on my mobile phone requesting for the viewing at the rented flat...I really need some privacy after 12 hours flight!!
