Update and Lessons

The ribbon grain closet doors are in place and ready for varnishing.

The piece of molave freebie for the kitchen counter has been cut and is ready to be fixed in place.  I made a mistake and should have specified a longer piece so that it eats up into the concrete wall.  Another mistake is not noticing that a set of light switches were placed smack in the middle of a wall instead of at the corner so I had that repeated.  Lessons, lessons everyday.  Next time, remember light switches go on the corner and provide for allowance when you're cutting materials off-site so that it could still be adjusted on-site.   

 The kitchen counter's next in the cabinetry work.

The aluminum sliding glass doors have been removed so that it could be repaired.  Here's what the balcony looks like after some time hemming and hawing about what to do with the leftover tiles so they don't look too much like leftover tiles.  Maybe when everything's done, you wouldn't notice they're leftovers. 

 I've been going regularly to the Binondo-Sta. Cruz areas to hunt for bargains and found this beautiful gothic window right above a typically messy street. 

My husband and I went to check out this solar powered lamp that my Mom wants for her farm.  If you can photoshop the clutter behind, you'll get a much clearer picture.
