your kitchen is looking great. If u had tried and u feels comfy then no worries! that's good news, no need to change. ours was pretty extreme. sat and immediately feels like sooo cramp.

Wah Aubrey I think your house will look super different by the time things are all done.

I'm curious about one thing... Can see that the tiles on the left are tiled all the way to the floor.. so does that mean that the kitchen doesn't have skirting from the floor tiles? I never got to do kitchen wall tiles so I don't know.. just curious.

Updates from Tuesday 12 May

Tuesday is more of doing the minor details day to me, nothing major done i feel.

working on the tiling for the wall near my windows, pity i dont have $$ for white windows. my current windows have been with us for 10+ years. and yes the nice smooth cement base!

a closer look on the cement base

rounding up the corners on the tiled areas around my shower + WC area - BEFORE

all done! - AFTER! but 1 thing is that the tiles are not cut very nicely but the tiler guy told me after applying grouting, will look better. what to do, master tiler did say his handiwork is a bit on the rough side. oh well.

our floor tiles! we are going for the one on the left!

aubrey: progress looks good. Uncle is not the kind that will cut corners and save costs. When he say tile the wall, he will mean tile the entire wall, including the area behind the pipes and area hidden by cabinets

He will tell the tilers to do so if he has the time to do his rounds during the tiling stage.

yup jason, the carpentry guy, said it should be in by 24 / 25 May. hoping its all in time.

pinkpetter

yes pet its 600 x 600! same as our living room!

familyof4

i think it will be better once carpentry is up!

growler

ya i believe it has all been tiled! even the area where i have a partition wall installed, the floor is tiled and the explanation is in the event that we choose to remove it, the floor is still intact. very thoughtful.

guy77

you're doing full height too? its very satisfying!!
