Anywayyyys... Regarding the utility room - don't let it get even near the freezing point. 10-12C is about as low as it should go (incase of flash freezing). When the guy came and turned it off (he did go to every unit last spring), he said they would be sending out a note for fall/winter. It's...

They likely are controlled by a thermostat but I don't think they were set correctly before. I have to check it out, but I remember it just being a dial on the front. I'm guessing they just cranked it up after installing? I know my utility room was scorching hot and was taking up like...

They'll probably be around turning them on soon. I think it was a mistake putting the utility rooms outside, but nothing can be done about it now. The base heater should have a thermostat that turns off when a certain temperature is reached. My utility room was sweltering last spring so maybe...

I noticed kinda noticed things going back fast, and that my fridge has pretty bad condensation sometimes. If your yogurt is freezing in the fridge....something is definitely wrong haha

Yeah, they're both pretty much getting me the same price. It just depends on your needs/preference. The good news is the government just announced they are going to force telecoms to offer a la carte programming (chose which channels you want). I don't know how this will be set up (hopefully...

The internet is 50/50 @ $86.95/month, but we get a $33/month discount forever. That's $53.95/month with 175GB usage. Unlimited usage is $10/month. As for TV, all the packages are decent and it just depends what you want. The cheapest is $41, where as the most expensive (what we have now) is...

The guy who did mine was a younger brown guy....luckily the cleaning lady was in the garage and has keys so she opened it for him :D A tip for the TV guide, in settings you can go through each channel and disable ones you don't want displayed. It takes a while, but the only channels you...

Finally heard that parrot today hahah thought someone was pushing a shopping cart with a squeaky wheel If that thing was near me, I would definitely kill it :D

Yeah, newer tv's usually do have an ATSC tuner but Rogers encodes their feed so you need their decoders. And Rogers is making everyone switch to digital. They wanted to make the switch years ago but it's taking years to get everyone off analog. Analog is garbage compared to digital, takes up...

I figured it was someone from here who crossed out Skywater and wrote 'idiots' haha The whole 'digital switch' thing is weird. The small boxes under the TV are digital adapters (to get channels 2-60 or so). They are free from Rogers and the most basic thing they offer. It seems like they want...

It's good that they're updating you on the whole issue...but their explanation is weird. If the breaker can't handle the load, wouldn't it have tripped?? The first guy that came to repair it (who told me the lines 'froze') would have seen the tripped breaker and had to reset it . After ~5...

I don't think you can get just TV. Bell Fibe TV is IPTV (over internet)....so it seems like they'd want you to buy a bundle

Don't know about the rep in our area, but Gary @ 416-652-2288 will sign you up. The deal is 6 months free bundle on a 2 year contract. Internet is FTTH 50/50 with a $33 discount from months 6+. You can add $10 for unlimited internet. Don't need to get the phone portion if you don't need it...

If you missed this topic, you probably missed the original construction topic from 2010 which has tons of pics through construction. http://urbantoronto.ca/forum/showthread.php/13140-Park-570-(Dundas-amp-Cawthra-Vandyk-4s-Romanov-Romanov)

Yeah the smell doesn't bother me but I've heard a lot of people complain (on here as well) so I'm sure something can be done. If not, just tell them you're an Olympic snowboarder and can't be near second hand smoke

If you wanna play hardball with them, file a complaint with the board. They CAN ban smoking in the building... :D A better approach would probably be to send notices or include mention in the newsletter asking smokers to please take it outside. People do have a right to smoke in their unit...

I'm actually pretty happy with the soundproofing on my unit. If my balcony door and windows are closed, I pretty much hear nothing. If I go into the halls, THEN I can hear music, talking etc from every unit. Maybe the people near me just aren't loud? Sometimes when I go to check my mail I hear...

I'm sure in all the forms we signed, one of them said we had to pay for the period between service activation and occupancy. The letter is odd though - says we have to transfer the account to our name so we can start getting bills. But.. that's already all done.

I go at night so haven't noticed it being broken (even with multiple people inside it stays at 20-21). On another note, one thing this building needs is unit directions when people get out of the elevators. (ie Units 200-223 <--|--> Units 224-245)

HST rebate goes straight to Vandyk as per the sales agreement.
