Quasi Casa Almost

Almost there

As you can see from the pictures (taken from my instagram), la casa is almost there. They have sealed the cement floor and are putting the finishing touches. The quiet Malaysian electrician Ah Long has installed the lights this week and the plumber came to install the basins and taps. The 2 carpenters - Big Long and Xiao Long - have installed the kitchen cabinets, kitchen top and wardrobe in our bedroom, and we are loving the pale distressed wood laminate called Ramshackle. The sliding door for the kitchen toilet is also in but I'm not feeling it. Will see what the hubs says - I'm trying not to sweat and stress over the small stuff! 

 

 

If everything is in place, we can move into la casa before we leave for our summer vacanza at the end of June. I'm planning to save some euros from our angbaos so we can load up on Italian kitchenware and food for our pantry! Speaking of pantry, we also bought the sleek stainless Fisher fridge with the bottom freezer compartment ($1,699) and an Ariston washing machine ($799). We also got the country ceramic laundry sink on stainless steel stands ($400 including delivery). Now to shop for the Ariston oven! :)
