Our Little Cozy Cocoon

Hi Hi *shy*

Been lurking around Renotalk for the longest time in preparation of the renovation of my first home with hubby to be. Have troubled some of you on contacts and referrals and now it is time to share my (little) knowledge back.

Bought a condo apartment in May 09 just before the crazy hike in the property market. So considered myself quite lucky. If not, I will still be hunting for one right now and be very demoralised by the prices.

Got the keys in July and started to shortlist IDs and Contractors for the renovation. Had the debate with Y on whether we should engage ID and Contractor. With our limited budget of 25-30k, we settled for contractor in the end. However, from our little quest to find the suitable contractor, we realised that there are also contractor who re-packaged themselves to be IDs and charged exorbidant prices.

Thanks to Supersimon, we settled for Henry from ID Note as he gave the most reasonable price for everything we want to do. So I officially joined "Hener" club!

We are in the first week of renovation and will do more updates!

Of cos never misunderstood you la. For one with such pleasant disposition liked you, can't you detect the sarcasm? Tsk tsk.. I am disappointed with you Rapister.

Simon: Ya.. I was comtemplating on HDB around the area but they were going very high even before the market surge in June. So I went for private instead. By the way your baby SOOOO cute!
