Kitchen Renovation [day 22 & 23]

~ Day 22 (Saturday) ~~~

Today, the manor was tilling the 'legs' (those are facing underneath) of the benchtop. They washed the floor again because they were planning to tile

it later.

<- The photo was taken when they left for morning break. The floor was partly washed and the 'leg' in the middle has not yet tiled.

The floor where the wall was halfway tiled was still messy and dry.

<- The floor was flooded at the back.

By lunch, the manor finished tiling the wall inside. Now, the whole floor

was cleaned and wet.

Actually, I did not anticipate them to work on Saturday afternoon. They never work on Saturday afternoon. Today, it was an exception! :P They stayed until around 3PM to tile the kitchen floor

(only some part). Maybe, they realised that they were behind the schedule.

<- These photos were taken at the end of the day. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture

showing the floor.

<- They build a tool with woods. At first, I thought it was the mould to raise the floor below the bench. Do you have any idea?

:P I saw the manor laid an overturned tile on the tool and applied the mortar on it. Then, he slided it and the other person fetched it at the other end. Do you think this will speed up the process?

~~~ Day 23 ~~~

The manor finished laying the tiles on the kitchen floor prior to lunch

break.

<- The bare kitchen door sill.

They left few places (as shown in the photos) untiled and went for tea break. Maybe, these places were intricate.

<-At this point, the kitchen floor (including underneath the bench) was still flat.

The door sill is covered with tiles.

After lunch, the manor was rising the floor under the bench. He poured the

mixture (cement and sand, as usual), compressed it with square trowel and smoothed the surface with screed.

<- Can the space underneath load plenty of stuff?

A perspective of the rest of the bench (without & with flash).

<- The floor under the benchtop has a stairs-like design for fitting the aluminium frame of the cabinet.

Whereas, the constructor's son was clearing the backyard especially moving the lumbers and excess bricks to his father's car. Earlier, my mother was informed that the renovation will take another day. I was delight to hear that.

Last Saturday, my mother visited the workshop belongs to the metalsmith

that is going to fabricate the cabinet. There, she saw their toilet's door and was fond of its design. It had a plastic-like body framed with aluminium. Consequently, she had requested the metalsmith to make one for our toilet too. Our toilet door was old and little broken. I suppose the new door is less vulnerable to dirt, moss, attack from bugs and long lasting.

<- The view from inside the toilet (without flash).

The door was prefabricated in the workshop. It was ready by noon. His workers were in-charged in transporting and installing the door.

<- It has a magnetic door retainer on the other side.

<- Up-side-down view of the broken toilet door. There was a huge gap in between the woods at its bottom. No one has any idea why? Was it rotting or was it attacked by some bugs ?

<- The bracket which is made of iron is also broken.
