Renovation Progress 6 : The Whole House

Our renovation has taken longer than expected.  It started in March 2012 and was suppose to take only about 4 months but it's now coming into the 6th month.  We must admit the contributor towards the delay in our renovation was not only the Contractor but us too.  The beginning of our renovation,  the contractor was slow, but later picked up the pace, then there were some decisions that I had to make, which I did but changed my mind again and again.
 
Anyways, as of todate, 21st August 2012, the plaster ceiling is almost completed, the main door and patio doors have been fixed.  The floors have been screed, inside and outside.  We've bought our tiles, our sanitary wares and our water heaters.  The windows too has been installed by our Contractor.

The main door and patio door has also been installed.  We had several challenges with installation of the main door.  It was  one challenge after another.  Normal hinges were not able to hold the 300kg door.  It has to be custom made.    Then the lock did not quite fit and that's still in modification mode.

Here we leave you guys with some of the Before and After pictures.  More to come.
