I just figured I would expect the worst. I explained to a few family and friends that it was like buying a car that the dealership went mudding with first, and then they gave it to you all dirty - oh and there's no dash board, and while you're at work they're going to be fixing your car now and...

Almost all of 13th floor is occupied, according to the signs on the doors. I still don't have bedroom doors but hopefully they'll get installed at some point!

I agree 100%. The execution was poor, communication bad, construction not the best, and QA? There's no QA. You are the QA, I am the QA... the quality control was probably the most annoying part. Having said that, I still think it's a great building and the materials are great quality. Once...

So I submitted my deficiency list (pretty last minute, down to the wire ha)... About 30 deficiencies were listed, though I probably missed a few very minor issues but that's fine as I can fix them myself. The biggest & most important ones were: - bedroom doors not installed - half of my...

Try some of the switches around your bedroom, as in my unit they control the power to my ceiling cap. When I took occupancy I had a locker & parking spot assigned to me. They also recently installed a gate right after the visitor parking... ALSO... AND THIS IS IMPORTANT! It's...

A piece of advice for all... when you go to your PDI, don't expect the unit to be 100% finished. When you move in, don't expect it to be 100% finished. The finishes are very high quality and I am personally in love with my place, aside from all of the deficiencies & a few incomplete items. At...

My advice... just keep a record of all the dates, keep in touch with your lawyer, and have a glass of wine. You'll probably be called two days before your occupancy date and your place will have a few things that are unfinished. You will see lots of defects but don't let that stress you out...

Do you know where I could find the official standard for Ontario? One of them is in the concrete and that would be a massive job to move, not to mention it would look like shit afterwards (and they would probably say no).

Here's another question... What height are everyone's switches at? Mine are much lower than seems to be standard... they're like at hip height? I'll have to measure exactly but it feels unnatural. The person who did my PDI said that is a new standard height but it's just... weird.

Alright. When they're installed I'll check! Right now they're taking up valuable space... Btw, I put in a king size bed into my unit. Yeah, that's right. :P

I have a question... Do they put up the pole in the closets + any shelves? Or do they just put up the hardware that attaches to the wall?

I would never buy a pre construction if I wasn't saving up and living with my folks... anyone who was renting or moving from another house, I don't know how you would have handled the stress of not knowing when you would get your keys. I had my pdi but have not received my keys yet (maybe...

I have my PDI & interim occupancy tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it a lot, though I admit I have some anxiety about how big the unit will look vs the grand scale I fantasized about from the layout, hah!

Amazing. well I guess I'll be leaving my valuables at my parents house for a bit! Did they even knock??? I could imagine what would happen if a girl was just getting out of the shower would feel like. *note to self: walk around the unit naked for the first month.

Praise the almighty hipster! Haha... kidding. Seriously though, its to do with material costs. What's cheaper than thick brick and nice window trimmings? Why... one gigantic window, that's what! I'm surprised that the city doesn't mandate certain requirements for architectural beauty. Sure the...

I don't get it... they entered your suite while you were there or when you were away? Aren't they supposed to notify you and get your permission if they want to enter your unit?

So I remember a lot of the estimated times you guys were giving in the other thread, and it seems that they were pretty spot on. I think the longest one was eta January 2013, but Oct-Dec 2012 was most likely. So saying that... what do you think will be the registration date for this condo so...

What's another month vs 2+ years. I am very curious to see the inside and the size of my unit. I'm having trouble visualizing it just based on the floor plan. I hope I don't freak out when I see it and say "this is it??" hahaha. The other nightmare scenario is "Oh my god, I picked such...

28th for the 13th floor. Do you have two units??

Another 2 week delay for me. Lucky 13 :)
