While nearing day 24... all seems to be falling into place nicely. It's still terribly dirty and dusty though.

The curb for our cabinets.

Crystal clear windows at the utility room... not much of a view. Haha!

Day 24 also marked the completion of phase 1 paint job, and the installation of our ceiling + lighting fans. My relatives and the designtractor said it's an over-kill to install so many but we just prefer to have lots of circulating air.

Our Amasco 48" fans + light kit.

Day 25 to 27

Our flooring was installed, as well as our kitchen cabinets.

Doors have to be removed so my designtractor could overlay with laminated flooring.

Flooring arrived!

And the smart carpentry by the designtractor for our utility-into-guest-room. A loft concept where the bed is stacked on top of a mini wardrobe!

Wall to wall sliding door wardrobe for me.

A partition was built for a hotel wardrobe concept.

Pull-out drawers for my pole wardrobe system.

Since this is a really old unit... there isn't a bomb shelter/store. So... the designtractor built one instead. He did it in such a way it looked more like a pillar.

And yes! that's our main door!
