Sini Tebuk, Sana Tebuk.

The dreaded renovation has finally begun which also marks the beginning of a nightmare-ish phase for me for I have been indirectly assigned with the role of assistant cook or food delivery guy when the kitchen is unuseable and master cleaner, mainly focusing on sweeping and mopping, for many, many days to come. So called househusband in training, lols.

The bathroom is getting a complete makeover, Mom finally had enough of the rotting wooden panels supporting the door. The stairs and storage room gets new tiles, while the wet kitchen, this one, I am totally clueless what would be done there, tiles as well perhaps? So far, I've only seen lots of hacking there.


And finally, after all the above, a new coat of paint which I find pretty necessary especially along the stairways hurrah. I think miy parents have very much been influenced by Jacklyn's constant non-constructive critisms on my wall painting skills not being up to standard or in other words, sucks. So, they decided to go ahead with hiring professionals to do the job using which costs a lot more but only uses a fraction of the time I needed.

On the topic of paying more as well, fortunately, Mom managed to get all the tiles required before the current increase in price after constant urging from me upon knowing from Jacklyn's Dad about this news. Saved a lot there yunno?

Clockwise from top-left: Plastered steps and tiles, wet kitchen with loads of hacking and holes on floor to hold the new tiles better, more-more tiles and the storage area in progress.

Another view of the hacked wet kitchen, another view of the stairways tilings in progress.

Now you can start to imagine all the dusts from drilling and hacking, also the bits of hardened plasters and cements from the tilings. I am really, really, like seriously really looking forward to the day the renovations would be completed and my daily chores does not include cleaning, cleaning and more cleaning anymore.
