Facade of the house. On the right side is the garage while on the left side, with the large window is the master bedroom


The alfresco / outdoor room. One of the two upgrades we included in the house. The other one is the Rumpus/Home Theater room. Aside from the Master Bedroom, these two areas of the house are my faves. Of course, Kareen loves the kitchen!

Week 7 & 8 - We've Been Framed!!

I was not able to post an update last week since there was nothing to update other than the excuses that I've heard from our Builder why no one was working at our site.

Now I know why they say that I should have lots of patience when we start building.

The good thing is that they have finished the framing this week and about to start laying the bricks next week.

Slowly taking shape


Here is the garage


Bricks already delivered to the site
