ashomech 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2010 (edited) Wk29 '10 Nothing happening this week. The contractor is not reachable (went for reservist) and still some Plumbing work, Electrical wiring, Lights installation, Cabinet door installation is pending. Bad bad co ordination by my Reno contractor. Forgave him after knowing the reason for delay. Iz was very responsible and apologized for the delay.

Hi Gals_mama, The needle (or) hands i made out of balsa wood (bought from 'Art friend'). The Motor (or) Wall clock movement is taken from the old wall clock which was in the house left by previous owner. Yeah sure i'll remember the time i spent It gives the sense of satisfaction Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Pink Peter, Thank you for your comments. I wanted to make the living room with white & Black theme as the flooring is black granite which is in good condition and too good to hack away. But, the wall colors i made a mistake by selecting 'lily white' instead of pure white. Which would have been even brighter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
