Natural stone "Bali Green" Bressia with Old Castle

 There is a stone named Bali Green that is often heard in Bali.

Bali - green tile material. The left side is a thing that took a while after cutting.
The ones on the right and below the center are just cut.
Moss green turns into a bright brown

 



















The color of that stone is Moss Green, which is actually brownish even though it is named Green. The color of this stones are changing from moss green to brown when it is exposed to sunlight.

Bali green is slightly similar texture to the popular stone " Kerobokan".
But the reason why it's not so well-known as a building material is as time goes by, the color changes from moss green to brown too dramatically.

 

Bali Green are used for stone statue materials for exterior. There are some popular stone statues include statues of Buddha, Ganesha, a goddess with a barrel, etc. 
Sculptures of the Asian atmosphere are popular in Europe and the United States.

Even though it's named Bali Green, the production area is in the mountains of Central Java.

Here are the process how to dig the stone by hand at old-fashioned quarry

These Bali Green stones has been bought by French Customers and was going to use at restoration of old castle project.

Many valuable historic buildings and works of art in French such as Castle, are made by the stone that has similar shade and texture to Bali Green especially when its color are changing into brown.


That is why they are looking for Bali Green Stone for their conservation and restoration project in French and other country in Europe. And it is an honor for us to be participated even a bit in restoring valuable historic buildings and works of art project. 

Block stones actually are not exportable but are allowed under some conditions such as are subjected to cutting and other processing.

MARBLE FROM TULUNGAGUNG - EAST JAWA

I went to Tulungagung.

 
Tulungagung is a small town located in the East Java South coast area, but almost near the Central Java. It takes three and a half hours from Denpasar to Gilimanuk Harbor, by Car, and then take a ferry to cross Bali Strait to Banyuwangi, East Java. Then continue the journey around 12 hours more from Banyuwangi to get to Tulungagung. It was a pretty hard drive.

 









 
Turungagung is one of the famous Natural stone product, such as Marble and Andesit in Java.
To be exact,It seems not marble but limestone actually.











 
This time we got order from Australia, bush hammer finish Marble. So We went to Tulungagung for the inspections.

 
 Most of all factories in Tulungagung are small factories, and cutting accuracy is bad to say honestly. Even in that, We will find a factory that will listen to my detailed orders, from the choice of materials to the checking of the precision of the cutting and management of the finished stone one by one.







 





Once it's done, it will ready to be delivered to the warehouse in Bali where the process of packing in crate will be done there.

Container stuffing finally has been done this weekend.
We will safely arrive at your house and wish you a nice finish.

HORAS INDONESIA sells Marble Tulungagung Bush hummer finished.

KIRIMAN BATU ALAM DARI BALI KE JAKARTA

Even though Bali is a famous resort  in the world, the product lineup is differently from the other city, Especially Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia. I think every people have an image like that.

But it's true, you get some items only in Bali! 

One of those item is KEROBOKAN STONE. 

In the project of Jakarta, they would like to use the Kerobokan stone and then they do the request delivery Kerobokan stone from Bali to Jakarta.



Because of its soft characteristic, we tried to make a crate and avoid not to break it.

Costly it takes too much for local sales.

That's why I put the form sheets on the bottom of the truck and put them on top of it as well.

Only Kerobokan which cut long and narrow is packed in a crate.

Hope will arrive safely to Jakarta !

But, climate was slightly different from previous years in Indonesia this year.

 

Previous years, in Indonesia will begin to rain in October.

When you finally think it started to rain, it is extremely a lot of rain.

landslides occurred in size of approximately 10 hectares. 

About 100 people were now missing. .   BBC NEWS

 

Current search dogs also participated, has continued to search activities  

but the mud make process of searching seems to be difficult.

In the quarry where stone materials will be taken , block of raw materials can not be proceed

because of the impact of heavy rain.

Candi Stone and Palimanan Stone of other, lime stone, Kinari, etc.

The government has recommended to citizens to not  approaching the loose area of the rivers and land. Of course it caused effect for the Natural Stone schedule of processing.
For this reasons, there might be got some delay during the rainy season until March.

For the customers, we recommended to arrange the order time with enough margin of time to avoid any crucial delay of supply.

Stone export deregulation

 Export of Natural Stone has become difficult 

because of the new regulations since last February,2014. 

 
If it is true, the Natural stone that processed to finishing and cutting can be export,but

Interpretation of the new regulations, there are different opinions among the parties,

Conflict had followed.

Then, as a result of piled discussions many times mine officials and  

 

the Ministry of Industry, in and export officials,

And finally Natural stones for building materials,

 

 be able to export except Stone of the block-shaped raw, 

 

if there is an export license from the conventional,even if it is not ET-products.

 

 

However, even in the stone was possible export previously,

APEC successful completion!

APEC has been successfully completed.

For APEC, infrastructure development has progressed through September from the beginning of the year here and there in Bali. The Highway project is one of them. Sanur - Kuta - connecting Nusa Dua, highway opened to traffic in September.


 




Now that you have open free of charge for one week after the opening, major traffic jam at that time.







 







Even now, it has become a tourist spot crowded "I want to run highway" weekend in those locals.

From Nusa Dua, Bukit area, access Denpasar, to Kuta is now much faster to use this highway. Nusa Dua over Kuta, took more than 30 minutes before, but it is usually arrive in less than 10 minutes just to use the highway. It is a dream come true.





And,
Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali.
International terminal, has been transferred to the new building.

The transfer of domestic terminal, time seems to take still.
Rather than the construction of the tiled roof of a traditional design, it is now modern architecture that was shaped like a cloud.

Bali also, is changing rapidly.

Actually, three-story? !

ANN LIVING & ESTATE　is a two-story when viewed from the front, but in order to avoid to show that impairs the scenery as much as possible.
in order to maximize the space and effective use underground practice,we use effectively of underground space for Water tank, pump room and balancing room for Swimming pool. 

 

The underground space will made by Reinforced concrete, now processing poured the concrete. 

 Water supply in this area  is carried out at a rapid pace.

Even though,there are many water stoppage, it is better to keep the advance with the water storage tank.

 Viewed from the side

The level of the land has dropped from entrance toward the back of the living & dining.Living & Dining building base is raised level around 3meter from the original ground level. 

THE VIEW FROM SECOND FLOOR

In the field of ANN LIVING & ESTATE VILLA is 

now working bugesting and frame for pouring 

the concrete floor on the second floor beams and 

Work to form a reinforcing bar processed.

  Once upstairs, the view from the second floor can be seen!

And climbing the ladder, and I tried to take a view.

View from position of 2nd bedroom on the second floor.

Green field is beautiful unlike dry season of August of every year,  

because it is rain still this year.

  The mountains of Bali sea and should be seen over the green field,

 but I did not see in the clouds today. 

View from Master Bedroom on 2nd Floor. must be seen Ocean over the green field...

 
Task that they are pouring concrete, volume is small to use a mixer truck

I did all manually.

Human wave tactics is work to be good at Indonesia.

While the rain occasionally, work pouring concrete safely an end.

Project went into the break, because of Idul Fitri Vacation .  

It will be started construction from the end of this month.

Selamat Hari Raya Idul Fituri !!
