Since the fixing of our dining room roof, we had one more project to be carried out. We had a pavement in front of our gate that was lined with 2 rows of floor tiles and the rest was cemented. After years of wear and tear, the tiles tend to be slippery whether it rained or not.
Hubby and elder son have slipped and fell because of the slippery pavement and others had near accident but thank God, didn't. Most of our friends are elderlies, so one can imagine the seriousness if one would to fall and hurt himself or herself.
Hubby arranged the date for the construction to be carried to coincide with the days that I will be in hospital for the chemo treatment because it was going to be very dusty and noisy. I was spared the noise and dust and the final concreting work was done while I was home from hospital. Below are some of the photos taken of the construction work by hubby.
Yes, my house too is in dire need for repairs and renovations but I just close one eye. Cannot stand having such works going on in or around the house - the dust will get in no matter how you close the doors and windows and block all the gaps. Nice gate you have there!
ReplyDeleteThank you, STP. Yes, any renovation will definitely cause a lot of dust and noise. Since we have already started on renovation, this is just one more to endure before we can really clean up our house. Need the help of part time maid since I am out of action for now. Lol!
DeleteOh yes, slippery pavement can be a health hazard. It is good that you managed to have yours re-done for safety. My house is also in need of repairs but I really dread having contractors and their workers come to the house and creating all the mess during renovation/repairs.
ReplyDeleteThank you, PH. Actually, I never like renovation but was forced by what happened to our blown off roof. That started the renovation rolling. I am glad that it is all done now.
DeleteMaintenance is so important in everything in life.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Roentare.
Delete...Nancy, I hope that your treatments are going well.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tom. Thank God the treatment is going well.
DeleteI'm glad pavement treatment was finally done. Is the horse 🐎 painted 🎨 in your area? It looks very nice. I hope you continue to heal well 🙏 💗 . I was outdoors yesterday for a bit of walk by our lawn. Now I have been coughing and I know it's more likely the high pollen has got me again 😔. I enjoyed being outdoors for a bit with my purple walking cane.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Becky. No, the horse is not painted in my area. I have been for walks since I became sick. Too weak to walk.
DeleteWonderful to have the work done and the results look great. Smart move to have it done during your hospital stay to avoid the noise and the dust. Hope things are going well, Nancy.
ReplyDeleteThank you, David.
DeleteSo nice that you had the work done while you were away in hospital, noise and dust are awful! The pavement now looks nicer and safer. That horse mural is lovely and I can see someone climbed the wall and "sat " on the horse. Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Nancy.

DeleteIt looks amazing! It looks much better now, Nancy. Much safer, too. Love that horse painted on the wall. Great art.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Gigi.
DeleteThat looks noisy indeed! Beautiful, fun mural!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Iris.
DeleteI hope that you are doing better Nancy.

Thank you, Paul.
DeleteWhat they have put on the new pavement so that it is not slippery In the image it is not noticeable, it seems that it is all smooth. Around here it is also done but they make drawings so that it does not slip. Kisses Nancy.
ReplyDeleteIt looks smooth but it is actually not smooth. They used steel broom to draw line across the pavement so it is rough.
DeleteThank you Nancy for clarifying my doubt. I did it that way too.
DeleteYou are welcome, Norma.
DeleteNon slip is a good thing.
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed day, Nancy. You're always in my prayers. ♥
Thank you, Sandee for your prayers. God bless you.
DeleteSafe at last! the older I get, the more afraid of falling I am! How are you doing?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ginny. So far, I am doing fine with the treatment.
DeleteI'm so glad you were able to get this done. You are in my prayers!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mimi for your prayers. God bless you.
DeleteYour new pavement looks great and I bet you are very thankful you don't have to worry about anyone falling anymore. So nice they were able to get it done while you were in the hospital.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Connie. Glad I escape the noise and dust.
DeleteMe alegra que el trabajo de la pavimentación no te haga daño. Te mando un beso. Me gusto el mural.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Citu.
DeleteThat was a huge project, but now it's complete, it is beautiful and much safer for you.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that mural. I laughed when the artist appeared to be riding the horse. Hope you are feeling better, Nancy.
Thank you, Elizabeth.
DeleteSe ve que ha quedado muy bien. El mural es muy bonito. Un abrazo y sigue recuperándote.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Teresa.
Deletenon slip pavement is safe and practical, good that you get it done now when the weather is fine.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Nux.
DeleteHello Nancy, good to hear from you. Glad that the entrance pavement is now safer for everyone, not slippery anymore. Bathroom floor tiles also need to be careful when stepping on them as they are slippery too. Please take good care 🙏
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mun.
DeleteA big job but hopefully it is now much safer. I hope that you are feeling better and that the chemo is doing its job. Thoughts are with you, take care. Diane xx
ReplyDeleteThank you, Diane. Thank you for your thoughts. God bless you, Diane.
DeleteSince I live in place of cold and snow. They're people here who has heated walk way. It out of our budget.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on, and stay safe.
Thank you, Dora.
DeleteThat's such an important job to have had done, and now you won't have to worry about anyone slipping and hurting themselves.
