BuildOurHouse: INTRODUCTION

Salam earthlings hehehe..As you gather from the title, this is my first attempt at blogging. Main purpose of the blog is to update my sister and her family residing in Abu Dhabi and united kingdom on the progression and development of their much awaited house. Yes..I hear you.. its not my house..hehe..as I'm not working I might as well do something useful with my life and looking after my sister house seem fulfilling. By the way I'm the ngangah of the "Karim's" family.

Building of the house started way back in August 2005 if my memory serve me right. It is situated at Rimba Gadong. One year into building the house, things did not run well with the contractor for reasons I'm welling to reveal here other than the development and progression of the house was painstakingly very very slow. At one point there was nothing going on at all. It was so frustrating. Imagine with all the valuable marbles, tiles and other stuffs laying around and there was no one to look after and guard them at night time. The situation was further worsen with the sudden posting of my sister and her family to Abu Dhabi.

My sister an her husband left with no choice but to terminate the terms and conditions of the contractor hence the building of the house was halted for 2 1/2 years. Alhamdullilah towards the end of last year they managed to find a new contractor with the promise the house will be ready within 8 - 10 months. Insya Allah by this year my sister and her family will be able to celebrate Hari Raya for the first time in their new house...Amin...

Visited the house for the second time this year. Discussed few outstanding matters with the contractor.

1. Marbles and Tiles. To be completed especially the first floor. Contractor will look into it as soon as possible.

2. Interior paint. Lily white for the interior wall and rose white for the ceiling and all white for the first floor ceiling .

3. Submitted and discussed the design of the main doors and 3 front doors. Major changes for the doors. The contractor increased he height of the frame for the doors and increased the thickness as well. When completed and view from outside the door will look like a huge thick grand doors.

Took a few pictures...enjoy
