As it is now going on with the under-coating, there are some walls especially outdoor's and the courtyard's need to do mold-removing at the first place before the basecoat. This procedure is necessary to prevent resurface of mold patches and paint-peeling in the future...
It is done with the high pressure water jet, generated from the small machine below.

another way to remove totally is to use sand blasting. This need precaution and safety wear.

Kitchen Quartz top with under-mount granite sink:

The quartz top came in yesterday. Start work around 12pm and finished around 4.30pm.
The HCE granite sink has been brought to the factory of quartz top earlier. They have made some modification of the sink skirting so that they can 'stick' the sink together with the quartz.

This is how it looks after installed.  biggrin.gif
The kitchen looks not so awkward now with the quartz top. Just pending the backsplash, some missing island door panels to come in on Monday, hood installation and some plumbing to make it complete!  icon_rolleyes.gif

After the top is up, I find the table top size is just nice for me, where it is a 5.5'L x 2'W, with cabinet underneath it measures at 5'Lx1.5'W. I've once seen the island in Ikea with 6'x2' which caught my attention, hence I copied it but mine is half feet shorter.

The side clearance is quite big so that we won't bump in to the corner of island's top. There are also 2 power sockets prepared for the island. Hubby said he will spray the socket casings in grey color so that they could be flushed with the side panel.

Well, I'm just gonna wash my clothes there but not drying them there...  hmm.gif  I'm sure the oily stuffs won't sip into the washer....  brows.gif  The laundry basket pulak will be located outside of my master bathroom...

Not the states, but lived a few years in London. Most of the houses/flat place their washers integrated under the kitchen counter. They have only one kitchen and not many have separate laundry room. I've never seen one in the washroom yet....  hmm.gif

cos London per area is expensive and small, thus their order dont see that laundry usually come with bathroom. blush.gif but down under, there is also such in certain houses, not all. generally they integrate it better with washroom. smile.gif
