Another round of electrical works

Our electrician came down for another round of works. Now that most of the carpentries are up, he is able to find the center point to fix our lights. Here he is setting up the power points for our automated curtains. I guess to have a smart home, you do need many electrical points, but it would all be worth it in the end!

Introducing the track light in our walk in wardrobe as well as our entrance corridor. It does look good, much better than those downlights, but they are quite expensive itself. A set of tracklights set us back by at least $250. Beauty has its price to pay uh.

Introducing the switches we got for our house. The lights can now be switched on either by just a touch, or through a remote, which eventually will be set to be controlled by our phones itself. Looking forward, we would only need our phones to control every appliances in the house next time. No more numerous remote controls to search through to find the right one.

All the faceplates are installed up too. The one on the right is the network port, which previously was just a telephone port. Easy to connect to the Ethernet through LAN cables now.

This is a glimpse of how we are going to study or do our work next time. Having a good view out of the window, hopefully not distracted. Fixed one of our Eames chair up so that I could sit on it while typing my blog post. Loving it.

With most of the dusty works done and out, it is time to unbox our fridge. This is the Samsung new model which has two cooling fans, one for each compartment. This supposedly keep the food fresher and have less risk of contamination. We got their small model one because it is just the two of us for now, and a smaller fridge means better control over the food stored inside. This mean less chance of having forgotten food and only realizing it after they had expired.

Rubbish. Heaps of it. Waiting for my ID to get someone to clear them. A bit more touch up and some remaining electrical installation, and we are good to move in. Our renovation is coming to an end soon!

Carpentries I - Kitchen

ID suddenly texted us saying that the carpentry has started today instead of tomorrow. To be frank, i was quite annoyed because it was an agreement to start tomorrow and i had plan to take half day off to oversee the whole operation so that nothing goes permanently wrong. It would be great if the glue had not been set in and the wood have not been sawed if it was not the right piece. Fortunately, the works were of standards and we were quite satisfied with it. I guess again we are reassured on the standards of works our ID will be providing. Thumbs up! And that is a sneak preview of our fridge in position.

Everything is looking just the way we wanted it to be. The choice of theme we had decided for our house was to be largely Scandinavian, but swapping the whites out for the black for a good contrasting impactful color. If you look closely, there is a special feature to this part of the kitchen, but we shall reveal it here next time when we have a better photo showing it.

Our settee have also been delivered in their individual pieces. Would probably be set up tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing our house piecing together.
