"Parquet", Pt. 2

A common saying among people with experience in home renovations is that things finally begin to come together when the tiles are laid, since you start seeing some aesthetics and you're able to actually do a bit of cleaning. 

We haven't been able to completely get rid of the dust yet, but the parquet-style tiles of the ground floor are now done as well. Seeing them ready really does help visualise the proposed layouts of each room more and give you a better idea of their size. Additionally, it paves the way (pun intended) for the next batch of tasks, such as gypsum and furniture measurements. 

I was also satisfied with the way they lined up with the Hanoi tiles of the dining room, which helps further the illusion of a separate room in a semi-open space.

I've got to hand it to our tiler, he works long hours and pays a lot of attention to detail. We try visit everyday, not just to monitor the works but also to give him some refreshments and snacks. The heat is unforgiving and he most certainly deserves some respect and appreciation.
