One last tip I thought I'd share today as I had one of my lightbulbs burn out already. Dollarama on Spadina carries replacement bulbs for our standard kitchen and bathroom pendant lights ($1 each). They are a lower wattage (can't remember exactly how much wattage) but I find it bright enought...

Hi Schnoober, Just reading your post now. For the kitchen backsplash, the standard tile is called, "Ikom Tendence". You can search online for more details. I don't remember all the colours it was offered in but I ended up getting the light beige colour. I ended up not upgrading to glass as they...

Hi All, 2 questions: 1) Has everyone had all of their deficiencies from their PDI resolved? I still have some that haven't been corrected. 2) Does anyone know what company insures the building? I have heard that strategy-wise, it's best to use the same insurer so that should something happen...

Had my PDI too. It went ok. There were some bigger issues in mine but overall I think it went fine. The guys were great. The only thing is that I feel I got ripped off. I have one of the north facing units and apparently any of the north facing ones have a half-wall on the bottom (i.e. not floor...

Thanks for everyone for sharing your pics. Can I also ask those who have done their PDI's what deficiencies they did notice? Will be my first time doing a PDI so any advice on what to look out for will help. Thanks.

I have mid-Dec too and I'm on the 17th floor. Was hoping to avoid moving in the winter time but still excited.

Just curious. Does anyone know what the rules are for storage lockers? I heard the average size is around 3' x 5' which I think would be big enough for a storage rack or some kind of storage system. Thx.

I didn't buy either lights. They said the pendant lights that come standard are a bit thinner but without the metal casing around. I figure for less than $1200 I can find a metal artist who can make the casing and or get other pendant lights I like better. A friend of mine said they saw the...

Just curious for those in the area, does anyone know what floor clears the Glas Condos mechanicals to the north. I keep looking at the photos and can't quite tell. It's somewhere between 16-19 floor I think but would like to know (wishful thinking that I clear it). Thanks.

Hi there, I noticed the window coverings which are rolling blinds are rather expensive (about $9k for my unit). I wasn't able to limit this only to the living room and kitchen (as I want black-out curtains for the bedroom) so just wondering if any of you had ideas or recommendations on places...

Hi JFung, Yes there are upgrades to change carpet in the bedroom to hardwood.

Haha, we'll all be down there taking turns spraying the track with WD-40! Hopefully though it won't be too noisy. When I was condo hunting I did check out a unit in Hudson next door that had a SW exposure and while not as close as the track to Charlie, I was really suprised how quiet it was...

Oh, they also said that the glass opaque sliding doors was also standard too when I went through. The others you mention, they got right with me. Live and learn I guess. As for the smooth ceilings, is the standard stucco and if so what kind of stucco? Also, do you know if it is everywhere?

Thanks Aiekon for some of the details. Unfortunately, the salesperson selling Charlie when I bought it lied (once again I might add) to me. She had told me that the ceilings in the whole unit were finished AND smooth and that was standard. One of the specific things I asked for as I personally...

Hi Luca, I'm on the 17th floor. But the last couple of weeks I asked my real estate agent to give them a call. Maybe that's why they called? In any case, I received the call this week so I say give it another week and call them then.

FYI, I received a call this week to book my appointment to select my finishes.

Wow, it really is going up fast. Just curious Red Mars if you know what floor the last photo you took is up to? Thanks in advance.

Wow, I had wondered where my post went re: occupancy date as I guess I posted it in the wrong forum and only discovered it today. Just wondering if anyone else heard from Charlie Condos about picking their finishes? I'm on the 17th floor and haven't heard a thing yet. If anyone could send me...

Just got a notice that my move in date is now May 2012 (originally Nov 2011).

Ugh, I can't wait for it to be done. Don't know if I'll ever buy pre-construction again. Painfully long wait. PS Thanks Jasonized for all the pics!
