The Change

[paintedblack 0]

Hello everyone, been lurking here for few months now and been benefitting from everyone's collective wisdom and experience. For that, I would like to thank everyone for sharing your stories and being so generous with new found knowledge. Now its time for me to give back in whatever little way I can as well. I also wanted to share my little journey too. Especially for those who are not HDB dwellers as there are peculiar problems that private home owners have that might not be as common.

Anyways, I now have an old 30 plus year old walk-up apt/ shophouse at Joo Chiat. I suppose I really wanted size and was drawn to the area as well. Believing in its potential to be an arts enclave and being a place that has a lot of personality and life.

Spent a few months researching and deciding whether to go with a contractor or ID and in the end I decided on an ID to manage the project. More because I needed someone to look after the whole project due to my inexperience and irregular working hours than because I needed the design expertise. Personally, I feel that their prices are very competitive and the service good... at least so far.http://www.renotalk.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif We've just completed the first phase of hacking within a week and we are now moving on to phase two.

I've started a little blog to chronicle the journey and would like to share it with everyone here! I look forward to hearing comments - positive and negative!

Excelsior!
