Day 8



mmmmmmmmm i just took a shower in my new bathroom and my friends it was exponentially better than showering in a dirty portable toilet. so yeah i'm feeling pretty good. there's still some stuff to be put up in the bathroom and toilet. racks and stuff. but that isn't too much of a hassle. also as an added bonus, my house is getting a new coat of paint. my mother's paying this guy to do it so he does the painting work at night. he did the master bedroom tonight and tomorrow it will be my room then the day after it's the living room. a colour called 'peace' which just looks like light blue with a tinge of green. not quite torquoise yet.



on to the photos.









yeah dismantle that sucker. that's sheng long the plumbing guy getting rid of the portable toilet first thing in the morning. the other guy is waiting to grab the base.









goodbye you shithole. look at how dirty it is. all that dirt is from being in the proximity of all the upgrading work in the day. i had to shower in that muck. ugh. good riddance.









so after the tile repairs were finished and the bathroom and toilet works were done for the day, these two fellas came around and gave the kitchen a good scrubdown. they were pretty good at it. but i swept and mopped the whole place again after they were done. doesn't feel clean enough if i don't do it myself.









and here's the almost finished bathroom. and the mind-boggling thing i was talking about? just give the pic a once over to see if you spot anything unusual. and if you do, all i can say to the inevitable question is - i don't know.









and the toilet. come to think of it. i haven't used the toilet yet. hm.



yeah alright so that's almost it. the next day is for the last minute odds and ends. and then the 10th day is for cleaning and inspection by the head supervisor. and yeah there's also the painting of the house to be done. ahh feels good to have a proper bathroom and toilet again.
