blowtoenhance 0 Report post Posted December 7, 2010 Time for me to find hackers, tilers, carpenters, polishers, electricians and painters!!! Going thru another adventure again! Unlike my previous home... this time I do not have the luxury of Time so got to complete chop-chop ASAP! My previous home was a satisfactory adventure although it took me 5 months before we could move in. Satisfied that all the things that I did myself was still in good working condition after 7 years! The ceiling fans still giving breeze to the rooms... the lights still lighting up the rooms... the hot water piping delivering hot water... and few other more! Hope that this new adventure will be smooth sailing or much more better than the first adventure! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
