Work-in-Progress – Part 32

Posted on    by

Another week and another visit to the construction site of The Minton. Bit of unfortunate news too; the BCA web site indicated on the 18th September that some plans submitted required resubmission while the rest were noted as “In order”. I’m not sure what this means since I’m not in this industry, but my guess is that TOP while close will still not be imminent as long as resubmissions of documents are required. That will just mean more delays to the start of key distribution. Sigh.

Still, this Saturday’s afternoon visit saw that the site is gradually winding down its major development activities and moving into touch-up work. Large containers filled with debris were about and ready to be carted away, and workers in small groups could be seen patching up and making good defects, paint spot areas and the like. I paid special attention also to shrubbery surrounding the compound too, given the growing sense of anxiety among many of the FB residents that the place isn’t as private as one might had though.

The Amazonian Lily Pond @ Tranquil World looks filled with its actual body of water now, and is now finally starting to look like its actual form.

Lilies! The water body is still somewhat murky with a distinct green tone about it. Probably algae is thriving in the pond now.

Eventually the fences here facing Lorong Ah Soo should be well-covered by greenery, and give the compound some semblance of privacy - hopefully!

Fences beside the Clubhouse have been painted a dark grey color. It still looks a little cheapo though.

The first shrubs have also been installed beside the fence in front of the Tennis Court. These need to grow, quick.
