We're now finishing off the jobs that need to be finished here at Maison KL such that we can feel we've left the place in good nick ahead of our journey back to our usual Far Place. In general the house is more than presentable, I'm happy to say. However, I'm less happy to note that something a bit troubling cropped up around mid-day on the premises.
We suddenly heard a very odd cracking sound, or, rather, series of sounds coming from the floor in the downstairs living area and it became apparent to us that some of the marble tiles of the flooring were slightly 'giving way' under foot. It looks as if several are coming loose such that they are popping up in a way they are clearly not supposed to. Everything seems to have settled now, but there's obviously quite a bit of damage to attend to. The thing is, though, that we really have to go back today and so we'll we'll need to put the problem on hold until we can get Ah Seng, our contractor, in to do the necessary. Which will most likely be messy. And expensive.
The joys of home ownership, eh?
