Himalaya 0 Report post Posted March 8, 2013 Wow, the whole process looks so smooth and fast. Do you count the days? It's only 5 weeks since 1st day hacking right? I will stay in tuned for your updates Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Berlinbear 0 Report post Posted March 8, 2013 Haha, din realise it was 5 weeks already. Yup, had heard of horror delays even from reputable IDs. Apart from the quality which we were more than pleased with, I guess most important is the cost in saving through minimizing the third party.It's pretty much the same except that you will tend to pay more to an ID for their overheads, gimmicks and advertising costs. Indeed, we felt lucky to have found a reliable contractor overseeing the works! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Berlinbear 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2013 Popped by in the morning. As promised, carpentry works were ready in less than a week right after tiles were laid. My contractor took the measurement, noted my preferred choices and executed the exacting demands flawlessly and swiftly once again. I'm very impressed indeed.

Berlinbear 0 Report post Posted March 10, 2013 (edited) Our house colours actually revolve around our dogs. White and brown. So how did the sombre grey came about? On Nov 10, brown mindy passed away. An adopted stray, she was with us for 5 years. No other owner could have a better dog. She was selfless, loving and positive. She taught us all about life, love and its meaning. Her passing on turned our world into a shade of grey. Westie went into depression for many weeks. We actually had a room reserved specially for both Mindy and her buddy, Westie. My greatest regret was tat Mindy won't b around to laze in the balcony. However, her spirit and love exist in our hearts and we will b bringing her remains with us to the new home.Westie and Mindy in happier timesWestie and Mindy's urn- together forever Westie- the heroic subject for our blog title!
