Well.... We had our elections a few weeks back and the developer proxied 50 votes for the 2 individuals who got voted in. This essentially guaranteed their win as only 50 people showed up to vote in person for the president/vice-president. While this is technically all legal it seems this is...

I agree. The embedded 'Crystals' are just about the tackiest thing I've seen in a new build. Ugly personified.

Sorry, I meant a form of power of attourney that is strictly for the situation at hand. This allows you to respond in the stead of the owner for the areas specified in the legal document that would be signed by the owner.

You can get the owner to allow you to represent him by proxy. There should be a form that you can fill out from the condo corp. Once you have that you are allowed to act as a voice for the owner which allows you full access to the board. Since it's in the owners best interest to get this...

I think you're talking about 25 The Esplanade.I'm guessing they did that thinking a tall building would be built right beside it but the Novotel went there instead at only 10 stories.

It's the Prince's Gates. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhibition_Place#Princes.27_Gates And personally I like the windmill. Coming in from the west it makes a nice addition and it doesn't fight with any of the skyline.

No problem, I wasn't sure what you were really looking for so I thought that method might be your best solution. I'm guessing construction images for tip top or time line perhaps?

Have you seen the unit? I'm pretty sure your balcony is the same level as the spaghetti factory and they use frosted glass between your balcony and the factory. This is a loft space? How many sq ft? You will have no view but still get decent light. Noise is mostly noisy bar goers shouting woo...

Nope... it's not finished yet. Workers are still putting finishing touches on the 2nd floor. I'd bet on three months before there was a functional gym.

Type this into google.. site:urbantoronto.ca tip top loft if you use "site:<sitename>" it will only return results from that site.

http://greeninc.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/01/21/samsung-signs-66-billion-deal-to-build-wind-and-solar-power-in-ontario/ Lots of wind power coming... we foot much of the bill for the next 25 years so hopefully it will work out...

I would look at PSF that you paid then and the PSF that you are going to pay for any other place that has the same cache that the L tower has. Without even looking up the numbers I can pretty much guarantee your return on investment will be higher on the L tower than any investment you can...

I'm waiting till the board elections take place then I was thinking to get on it and take care of the whole thing. My design level is fairly adequate and my main work is programming so I think I can pretty much do something for the condo in my sleep.

It might be under the cover. And you're probably right about the calibration. Personally I just turned it up until I was comfortable. :) I'll check under the cover when I get a chance though. oh... and another thing I hate. our building website. Half the links are empty and now some links link...

great photos. Much appreciated and enjoyed :)

Well the sign up is the size of a large town now.... only a day later... 73,767 While I agree that the initial sign up of facebook is fairly easy it can lead to a good amount of letter-writing being generated by the information in that group. Showing up for work even though parliament has...

A little bit of a nitpick... The thermostat is in Fahrenheit... who the hell even uses that other than the U.S? It's an antiquated system that never made any sense. I'd really like to know the logic behind the installation of those here. I figured the lower temp was from all the windows. But...

Our heating seems to be fine in our suite in the east tower. I'm pretty sure the system is shared. Haven't really heard anything about the amenities but they're usually the absolute last thing to be completed.

Not really underrated but underknown :) Tomasso's Trattoria at 400 eastern. What the lack in ambiance they make up for in affordable authentic italian cuisine which is very tasty. http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/664071

I just using black foam weatherstripping that I got and Canadian Tire. I doubled it as I had a large gap between my door and the frame... Before you do it you should be able to feel air flowing between the cracks. All strips should be placed on the frame so the foam faces the front of the door...
