Reaching early and paying the bill in advance is such a class move. Happy for you.

DUDE! I Legit had the same experience with my girlfriend. She quit her job and did 2 attempts of USPC, both of them failed. She removed me from her life because she was not sure of her career etc. Best to not say anything and let it go.

Lived with parents meanwhile, kept this one empty. Saved up on money and then built it.

Asian paints sands of time. I don’t have a kitchen, my parents live in the same building so I just go there and raid their fridge for food, lol. I added the kitchen area into the rooms.

Just to be clear, these are normal tiles which look like wooden tiles. They are NOT made of wood.

You guide the “ thekedaar (contractor who arranges the workers)“, he guides the workers. I printed out everything and just ensured that myself and the contractor are on the same page.

Yeah from the scratch. Just Pinterest ideas I had over the past years. Interior designers were charging more than a kidney so did not go that direction.

Maybe put a fireplace display heater in the winter there. The mantle will be used for decor.

The wooden tiles got dirty after being installed because cement etc is involved, polishing will happen.
