I think the TDSB is closing the elementary school on the southwest corner due to low enrollment. Given its prominent location, redevelopment could accelerate an underground connection.

It curiously makes me think of building a base on the moon.

1. I'm looking for a good mover (i.e., reasonable cost, reliable, and who takes good care of and respects the items). 2. Should I buy runners to protect the entrance way during the move? And cheap mats for the drop-off area? It would be nice if Great Gulf were to have mats available for...

PDI day 2. 1) I sent the following email to Samantha Silver, Customer Care - Legal Liaison, Great Gulf Homes Limited: 2) Reply: 3) My response: 4) Reply: Note that a colleague at work with whom I shared the first email told me that it uncannily described how a friend of his was treated...

If he tries to rush you, I suggest citing a letter you no doubt also received from Samantha Silver, Legal Liason, Condo Division: "... to thoroughly inspect your suite, you will need to set aside approximately two hours." I was surprised to discover that a list of deficiencies had already been...

Shael. Incidentally, if anyone reading this post is in an 06 unit, how many electrical face plates do you have on the right wall as you enter? Also, which walls in the den have electrical outlets? I think there's a discrepancy between the plans for the unit and the unit as built.

My turn for the PDI. The builder's rep was aggressive and impatient. I had brought a friend with me because I had heard horror stories of people who had signed their PDIs without due diligence. My friend insisted on taking more time than the rep had planned (a scant 20 minutes). I felt like I...

I'm also puzzled because the original pictures showed them to be light and airy looking. Miss Haversham no doubt would prefer the dowdier ones.

How did it go?

Has anyone hired someone to act on their behalf for a PDI (i.e., a home inspector)? I'm guessing no. It seems there's a lot of upfront costs.

Out of curiosity, which floor?

Followup questions. 1. I read somewhere that the PDI takes about an hour per 1000 square feet. Does this sound reasonable? 2. The Tarion Pre-Delivery Inspection Form seems comprehensive. http://www.tarion.com/NR/rdonlyres/202DDFC9-97B7-41D1-B856-39A3D3AD760A/0/Feb2009PDIForm.pdf Still, I...

I'll play devil's advocate and suggest that Rob Ford may be good for Toronto. I don't think he'll be very effective but may help set the tone for less frivilous spending. I'm not worried about losing streetcars or any real damage. So people vent their frustrations. Royson James can gleefully...

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but here goes. Generally, when does the PDI take place relative to the occupancy date? Is it before, and if so, when? Or does it typically take place on the occupancy date (i.e., the first day one can take a look at the unit)?

Personally, I would ditch the island and replace it with a small wooden dining room table. It could look quite elegant and you could place it anywhere. Pine is lightweight. Maple, though heavier, is attractive.

Great Gulf offered to buy the Gerstein Centre and locate them within the X development. No sale.

It's curious that the federal government refuses to give any money, arguing that there's nothing of importance on the site. They don't value archaeology. Any excuse, right?

Yorkville. Intriguing.
