think my reno so far has been quite smooth. along the way, made some changes n comments to quality of work..n contractor was able to react n made necessary adjustments to match our requirements. though demands are not always met 100%..i tink i m still reasonably happy with progress so far..

currently i m only waiting for the cable to make such changes in the way the wire cables are run..as i do not have false ceilings or cornice, i m more particular in the positioning of the cables..n left all the remnants of carpentry, painting n touch up...hope my hse should be ready by next week n only need to wait for my furnitures to come in :)

btw as mentioned in my opening posting about the IDs that i have shortlisted, i tink this is a gd time to reveal....hee...like lucky draw..the companies i have shortlisted will be ideal hse (Max), RCID (richard) and YHL (Zann Loo)

so in the end i chose Zann..for her responsiveness, fine ideas and quote tat meet budget :P. so far so gd..if i m happy with the final carpentry product...than i supposed i can recommend her to everyone here. wish me luck!
