Of Style and Wow II

Here comes an update on the current development of my house!

Picture tells a thousand tales.


Wall tiles are up. [Top, Bottom]




Kitchen cabinet's shell is completed. Washing basin fitted in. Now awaiting for door panels and black granite table top to be put up.


Construction of false ceiling and curve light box have been completed. [Top, Bottom]


Great. But when it comes to workmanship, it is bad. When I say bad, it's truly so. Same thing, pictures tell a million tales:


Tiles are not in line with one another. No just that, they are shockingly uneven with the rest of the surfaces.


The gaps are so uneven that, from the picture below, shows the extremity of what else they are capable of delivering.



Cracks on the new tile aside, hairline cracks on the cement can also be found above the skirting, which is barely two weeks old. I couldn't imagine what will happen 10 years later. Obviously I don't want to witness tiles exploding due to heat expansion or falling off from the wall. Not just here, but everywhere. The designer says it's due to a negligence in inadequate amount of water added to the cement mixture, hence the crack. She will get them to redo, promised but hopefully.
