A Pleasant Surprise

On Friday, the CS from PD called to say that she'll send our file to the building department a week earlier than previously discussed, and the actual work will then start anytime within the following two weeks. Nice!

Drop by the land after work, and guess what, there's a tap!! What a pleasant surprise :)

It is not just a tap, it is our first tap!

Tiles, Tiles, Tiles

We did our tiles selection in February, and had only received the samples from National Tiles in October. Other then the samples, there was also a letter to notify us that one of our selected tile had been discontinued. It will be replaced by a porcelain tile at no extra cost to us.

We've did some read up and there were sayings that unless it is dark coloured tile, or else porcelain tiles stains easily. Just to make sure, we did some experiments using the samples we received by soaking it in lime flavoured soda and red wine over the night, and sure enough, the brown tile did not leave any stains :)

Anyway, here are the tiles we selected. Not a big range because we can't really visualize how will the tile colours coordinate, so we decided to follow the colour scheme used in the Cremorne 41 Mernda display house as much as possible. Less headache.
