Kitchen Improvement Then, Front Extension Now

Today is gonna be another busy day at home. Our Naic home, to be exact. We’ve recently started constructing our front extension, with roof, paved floor, metal grills and all that.

If my schedule permits, I’d like to go and check the developments in this project on Wednesday when it’s a legal holiday (read: no work) here in Manila.
