Only a couple more days before Christmas is upon us. On the project, we’ve moved on further to interior finishes and fixtures. Still quite a bit of work down the tube and most likely we’ll be done by early 2008. So here are a few more pics before the long weekend.
Couple of pics of the basic front desk component as a work in progress. Finish for the wood and the installation of the electricals will be in a couple of days. The designer stated that the final look should give it the illusion of being suspended in midair. We'll reserve judgement on that for a later date.
Another view of the front desk.
Workers in the process of painting the walls in Unit 2.
A/C unit, tested and ready for use.
A table under production for the mini kitchen in Unit 1.
Once again, happy holidays to all!

We have Light!
Just had to post a couple more pics. With the electrical works recently finished we had to test it to produce these. That's it for this week.

FINISHING BEGINS (Yes it's an oxymoron).
After a tempestuous week that brought property damage to one of the Philippines' premiere hotels and capped with a long and restful holiday (November 30, Bonifacio Day), work continues.
So far, most of the major structural works have been completed leaving further fine tuning and interior works for the next couple of weeks. The interiors and fixtures will surely be a treat, so stay tuned.
Oh and before we get fully engulfed in work, two notable points from us to our readers and future clients:
- MAY YOU ALL HAVE A FRUITFUL CHRISTMAS!
- Something grand looms over the horizon; the past few months have just been samplers.
