We have left the Chinese New Year holidays behind, and the place can finally be described as a hive of activity. The demolition team had already done most of their work, so it's time for the bricklayers to move in.
|
BEFORE: The full-height glass panels had to be removed because their origins were unknown. We had no way of finding out whether the glass was tempered or laminated. In the end, it was safer to discard the glass and restore the original facade. |
|
AFTER: So there will be a door at the front, and a window at the left, of what will be the classroom for the N1 children. |
|
AFTER: Similarly at the side, the glass panels have been removed, to be replaced by a half-height brick wall and two windows to let in lots of light. |
|
BEFORE: In the main hall, the sliding door glass panels have to be removed and walled up, due to fire safety regulations. The fire escape staircase will be constructed just outside. |
|
AFTER: The bricklayers doing their work to wall up this section. It's like block play on a gigantic scale. |
The electrical people finished most of the work on the 2nd storey, and have now moved down to the first floor. Meanwhile, over the past two days, the air-con team have been busy removing the old air-con equipment. Having completed that part of the work, they are now starting to install the insulation, pipes and casings for the new air-con units.

Our air-con guys busy at work. These are the same people who we called upon whenever we needed new air-con units to be installed at Mothergoose. |
Tiling of the toilets on the 2nd storey is all done. The tilers have now been assigned to get the 1st storey toilets done up. Soon, we'll be making a trip to a showroom to select the sanitary fittings. Exciting stuff!
|
This is the K2 class toilet, with all the tiling done up. |
|
Unfortunately, the non-slip tile that we selected previously is available only in limited quantity, because it's a discontinued series. Probably because it's too tough on the feet! So we decided to use those rougher tiles in the 1st storey toilets for the playgroup and nursery children. The K1 and K2 toilets are fitted with the second choice non-slip tiles, which are still pretty rough. |
|
Is this Hotel Orion? No, no. Just the adult toilet on the 1st storey. Looks like a happy place! |
