AFTER A LONG BREAK

I'm so sorry peeps..I took an overtime for my hibernation from my work. Just got back from Japan, the land of everything nice and naughty. My darling mini-me just turned 6 months (which explains my long absence). I'm just prepping up my workshop to start again. It has been a really good year so far, and I hope I'll end it better... I have a planet of great projects lined up to be executed, and I hope I can share them with you in the near future. Stay tuned!!

KOMPLEAT!!!

....And it's done!

day 27

FORM FOLLOWS FORMWORK pt. III

Turns out it took more than the weekend to grind the top. But that's another story to be told at another post. For the time being, let's look at what comes after the formwork dis-assembly. We had a bit of a change installed for the kitchen floor. Instead of just cutting a portion that is the kitchen itself, we decided to do something more challenging:

I was a bit skeptical on whether we can actually do this without making the tiler go blietzkrieg on us..but to my surprise, he said "sure, let's do this". And this is how it turned out...

day 16

And I totally forgot to mention the other parts of my house being renovated at the same time..Here's the Master bath, obliterated.
