House Renovation: Week 1

I took these pictures this morning. A glimpse of what Week 1 has to offer:

View of our house from the road. It's a double-storey terrace corner lot with quite a big yard. We bought it at discounted price (launching price) of about RM230+. Very, very reasonable price considering the space. However, it's quite basic with little furnishings which we need to do on our own. But where can you get a corner lot at that price these days?
The new foundations. We are extending the kitchen about 13 feet. Current kitchen too small. We need more space when families and friends come over. Next to it will be a new bigger patio where I berangan nak duduk-duduk petang-petang minum coffee with a book in hand watching Aliyah play.
The kitchen will be extended right up the the fence. Those are holes for the new foundations.
The new patio will be here. The front area is quite huge. We plan to build a putting green :). My eldest brother Angah who lives 2 blocks away joked to build a putting green at his place so we can tee off from our house.
The living room with the workers' stuff and the piles of cement at the porch.
The current kitchen. So small. The wall on the right side will be torn down and the kitchen extended. The original kitchen will be turned into a study area where the door and window will be sealed. I wanted this because it doesn't make sense to have Aliyah do her homework in her room, or even to turn the little guest/maid room downstairs into a study because I normally cook while helping Aliyah with her homework. So the study needs to be near the kitchen where both of us can also work there.
