Let there be light

Last week, the carpentry people brought in the parts of the kitchen cabinet, and promptly proceeded to set it all up. In one afternoon, what was just four bare walls became recognisable as a kitchen, although still incomplete.

The parts of the kitchen cabinet, like a gigantic puzzle, awaiting asembly.

Within a few short hours, the cabinets have all been installed. The carpentry people then gave the surfaces a good wipedown.

 

And with the  lighting in place, the kitchen is starting to look warm and cosy. Now we have to wait for the delivery of the kitchen hob, hood and oven. We have left a void for the placing of the dishwasher machine, which we will acquire later when enrolment picks up.

The electricians have been busy installing the light fittings on the 1st storey, and we've finally reached a stage on Friday evening when we can admire the results of their work.

Here's the main entrance into the school, lit by a series of downlights. With the furniture in place, we hope it will become a welcoming space for children and parents every morning.

With the internal works nearing completion, we will begin the process of obtaining the statutory clearances. The first clearance that we need to obtain is the Fire Safety Certificate. The installations pertaining to fire safety are almost completed, but we're awaiting the arrival of the fire ecape staircase structure, which was held up in the galvanising workshop. It is slated to arrive on Monday this week, upon which the metalwork people will proceed with the installation.

The exit lights are part of the fire safety features within the facility.
