On 25th August 2012, the house is now undergoing tiling. We are tiling the driveway and patio with terracotta tiles. The foyer, entrance and dining is tiled with white 2x2 tiles. The kitchen and domestic helper's room is tiled with light grey 2x2 tiles. All three bathrooms will be tiled with 1x2 black and white tiles. White tiles on the bathroom walls and trimmed with black tiles.
Because we are on a tight budget, we hired Indonesian labourers instead of getting our Contractor to do the tiling for us. We were advised that if we were to hire Indonesian labourers, we were taking a risk as they might not be very good. However, luck is on our side as these batch of Indonesian labourers are good and they seem to know what they are doing. Let's just say that we paid only half of what our Contractor wanted to charge us. Cement and tiles are provided by us.
