Day 1 - Renovation : Back Extension

BacToday's the first day of renovation. Started with the construction of the back extension. When I reached there at about 11am, they've already cleared the wild grass at the back of the house and also knocked off some of the cement floor.



A lorry came to unload all the materials for the construction of the extended wet kitchen at the back.

The main contractor busy with all the arrangements... :p


Materials for the back walls - Sand and some white chalk

Mix Cement + sand for the wall concrete foundation. Mix cement + sand + white chalk for the bricks laying.

Clay Bricks.. These are better than sand bricks..

Constructing the foundation of the wall. They put a metal beam at the base of it.


Put some plank of wood at the side to support as they pour cement into it

Laid bricks on top of the concrete foundation


At the end of the day, the left side of the wall was about 65% complete.

At the same time, another person was working on the right side of the wall.


At the end of the day, the right wall was about 35% complete.

It started to rain at about 5pm and they had to stop the outdoor construction. What's next then? Removing tiles from the dry kitchen area.
