Its been a while so I thought I would take some quick updates for phase 1. Not the best pics but they give an idea of the progress made. They seem to be doing all the work without standard cranes. 549 king 569 King 52 Sumach

An enclosure for your old hard drive is the simplest route for you to recover the old files but make sure you have the right type of enclosure interface. As other noted above your old HDD likely has a IDE interface and most enclosures like the one linked above are SATA. Check what interface you...

Wow that old plan for 638 Queen E was stunningly bad. Glad it went nowhere.

Thought I would provide an update on Corktown District as of today 549 King Street East 569 King East 52 Sumach

Have to say I like how they did with the entrance on Peter compared to the initial renders. They lost the signature green shelter tacked on the front that looks acceptable in the suburbs but stuck out like a sore thumb in this area.

Well they have dug pretty far down at 569 King E but the sides are partially shored up and no one has been there for a week. They have only just begun digging at 52 Sumach and 549 King E is still a parking lot. I don't believe there is any parking at the first two sites so yes they aren't...

I think post #34 covered that one. That strip of land was part of the land swap arrangement from a few years back that resulted in the current Porsche dealership which would be moved to this corner thereby opening up the "first parliament" site where the dealership is located now. IIRC the...

I went for a walk down to the distillery and noticed that the Canary is all wrapped up right now. Does anyone know if there are renovations going on?

The parking lot was closed off this morning with temporary metal fencing.

No offence here, I agree that the King/Sumach Townhomes could have been executed a little better. That being said, I don't think you have to worry about more TH's on King. I believe a developer would have a pretty difficult time recouping the cost of the land especially when you factor in the...

AoD, truthfully I have only sold a couple of things on CAM. Essentially any owner posts up and gets contacted via email. I would expect most people will lowball on the component and the owner will sell based on the balance of their need to max the amount and timeline. I do think most of the...

You may want to check out www.canuckaudiomart.com/ as there are always people selling great equipment.

As I recollect that work was primarily on the exterior of those buildings. The picture above is prior to the work being done and as you can see the brick was collapsing. There was some talk around the neighborhood about Little Trinity doing something with the property but nothing seems to have...

Shoring and Excavation are underway on 569 King E but 549 King E is still a parking lot for Streetcar and 52 Sumach is dirt and storage. Supposedly it is next in line for shoring and excavation. My whole house shook the last two days when they were breaking up some concrete pad on site below...

Ed, if that is the case, consider me educated. This would make a little more sense as to why so much money is being spent with the various producers wanting to introduce new product or gain share. Still it does seem to be a little wasteful.

My annoyance with the LCBO is centered on their marketing budget which strikes me as ridiculously large and pointless at the same time. I seem to get weekly full colour high quality stock inserts in my newspaper (twice a week this time of year) extolling the virtues of Stella and the latest...

Well they began digging this morning at 569 King E. and a flyer from Streetcar just showed up announcing that they were commencing excavation and shoring work which was expected to take 6 weeks or so and then 52 Sumach will commence followed by 549 King East. Of course they stopped at noon and...

They moved an excavator onto the 569 King site this morning so it does look like they are prepping for digging. There is another at 52 Sumach that has been sitting there since they took down the building in the summer.

Yesterday I noticed a couple of banners on the Charlotte St side saying "Labour Dispute" so yes I think that there are some labour issues on site. That being said there were clearly some workers walking along the balconies.

I had mine done about 15 years ago at Herzig Eye Institute, no complaints whatsoever (well a slight blooming from streetlights/headlights at night but frankly not as bad as i was getting at the time with contacts drying out by the end of the day. I'd like to think that they have improved...
