Work in progress
Korean life July 3rd. 2008, 10:00pmWork in Progress on the new Apartment.
Anyone following my tweets knows I’m currently recovering from a marathon painting session. In the past day we painted for upwards of 12 hours to try to get the apartment done. During one of the few breaks I took, I shot some video of three of the rooms of the apartment. I annotated the video.
If I can make it to the apartment each day, I’ll try to shoot video to show our progress. We’ve got the apartment painted, but nothing else finished at the moment. The new lights, kitchen, wall paper, molding, doors, and everything else has to be installed in the next week.

I’m jealous. I’ve been yearning for a new apartment for years. Or even a nice OLD apartment. OR … even a largish box that I could call my own.
Sigh. Wanty wanty.

[...] Compared to my last video of the house when it was being remodeled TWO days ago, this new video gives a feeling about how the final setup is going to be. It’s starting to look like an actual apartment instead of a disaster area. The wallpaper and molding makes a dramatic difference to how the apartment looks. Besides adding some furniture and actually moving in, this will be the most dramatic change to take place in the apartment. The lighting is almost complete, and the kitchen will be installed this weekend. [...]

[...] in Korea tends to be really freaking thorough. Our apartment was remodeled in the “tear it all out first” style of remodeling. They ripped out EVERYTHING you’d think of, left a hulking slab of [...]
