Work-in-Progress – Part 9

Another visit to the ongoing construction of our new home @ The Minton condo. We headed out earlier than usual this Saturday morning, and fitted enough time to visit the site from three different locations: Blocks 143, 142 and finally 158. We’d not checked out the view from Block 143 before, and you do get a long corridor that gives an uninterrupted wide view of the project, especially Blocks 2, 6 and 8 and the iconic badminton dome. The pictures this time were taken with the D7000, and the Sigma 18-250mm lens. Some of the worker shots were taken at the longest focal length.

No record of a Minton visit is complete without a Hannah picture. This new home project was for her afterall.

Our block coming along very nicely, and further along in development than the others. Ling chuckled that that’s because ours is the guinea pig block LOL.
