[Progress.061] Brick work for ground floor all done, lots of plumbing work done

We finally finished all the ground floor brick work. As shown in right hand side of photo below, the shelves for scaffoldings all been moved upwards, preparing for 1st floor brick work.

This is the finished front porch, I don't understand why there's a hole on the post at left hand side (10th row counting from the top), other than that I am quite happy with the quality.

This one viewed from the back, scaffolding shelves also moved upwards. The wall for meals room, study and powder room all done. You can also see the big white ugly sewer pipe coming down from 1st floor, this is for the main bath room. May be we should try to paint that into red so that it won't be so obvious...

I mentioned about the plumber on site the other day, we now have lots of pipes in the ground floor ceiling. We can see all the bathrooms been connected. Have a look at the photo below and see how good you are in identifying the purpose of each pipe. First of all, the big white drain pipes are quite obvious. Counting from the left, the 2 black ones are for hot/cold water, green one is for rain water, the brown copper one at the far right is the gas pipe...

I only heard about "wonder bra", didn't know there's also this thing called "wonder cap". There're a few of these in every bathroom...

There's also this pipe going straight up through the roof.

This photo was taken on Friday night. We have a few concrete steps at the front of the house, I though we won't need them until almost final handover stage. Can't understand why did they deliver it so early, probably because no one would be interested in stealing these ugly, heavy concrete thing??

Finally have some thing exciting for this week, they fixed the steel supporting beam in the garage! As shown in the photo, finally been bolted to the ground. One more thing to tick-off from the issue list...

Another achievement we have is, after so many phone calls, emails and fax complaints, our demolisher finally removed their smelly portable loo.... what a relief from the smell...
