Construction 18: Kitchen, floors and more

We received more photos from Mr. Roland today.  Lot of craftsmen doing lots of things.  The floors are almost finished.  The finish carpenters are installing the cabinets made in their workshop, doors and windows.  Most of the stone work is finished including the swimming pool.

Construction 17: Surfaces and More Surfaces

We're in Langkawi; however, Roland has been sending updates.  Major activities now are the terracotta floors for the verandas and the paving stones for the driveway and walkways.

The pool is also being finished as well as the tile-work and terrazzo in the bathrooms.

Construction 16: Bath Tub, Floors and Driveway

Things are hopping!  Even though there were three holidays this week in Bali, the workers were very busy up to and immediately after the Nyepi Balinese New Year's holiday.

There is a lot of driveway and walkway stone to be laid and they began that this week.  Also, there is a lot of terracotta tiles for the verandas and that too is well underway.

It was quite exciting to have the 5 tonne natural stone tub delivered.  Not a trivial task; however, it was completed and now sits in the Master Bathroom.

Other workers are finishing the fine coat plaster and doing the terrazzo in the guest bathroom showers and vanities.  There is a lot of hand work and it is done with professional flare.
