Also, forgot to mention, we elect the members of our condo board on December 20th or 21st. I was at the little meeting they had a few weeks back about the condo board. I was considering applying but it seemed too high school election, class president sort of deal so I decided to just pass on...

Agreed, 9 Valhalla gym is smaller than the other two. When I first moved in, the gym was locked so I was using 1 and 5 and both were quiet at the time I would use them. Lately, it seems like 9 Valhalla gym is always packed when I come to use and mostly used by residents from 1 and 5 which...

That's exciting about your puppy Kan! I'm considering getting a cat but I want to enjoy my brand new furniture for a little while before a cat comes along and scratches the heck out of it. I'm sure I've bumped into the both of you guys, maybe even your boyfriend Kan, always seeing new people...

Ah yes, I also got a quote for Maxx shades, $1900 and truth be told, I liked the samples more but I needed shades ASAP and Hunter Doulgas had the shades completed in a week. I can't say that 3% offers complete privacy, like I've definitely taken a stroll at night to Gibbs road and tried to see...

Hey Reign, long time no chat! Oh no, sorry to hear, didn't realize you weren't fully moved in yet. I see people moving stuff in via the regular elevators all the time, I literally saw two people trying to stuff a couch into the second elevator and I shook my head and walked away to the use the...

Welcome to the forum, monkichi! What unit do you have? A lot of factors will determine the price of the shades; ceiling height, the amount of windows you have and the brand. I ended up going to Kingsway Carpet and Blinds, just over at North Queen and East Mall and went with fabric Hunter...

I think Tarion fowards it to the developer because within a few days of submitting, I had a notice under my door for inspection to verify the claims which was from the developer, not the condo corp.

That's actually a great idea! My fiancé actually has that day off so she can make sure they catch all the issues noted.

I had a letter from the developer under my door when I got home from work last night to let me know that next week I'll have someone enter my unit during the day to verify that the claims I made to Tarion are legit. It's going to be really difficult for them to find the flooring that has begun...

Yes, I also had that issue with the door lock, it's working smoothly for the past week or so now. My unit seems to be continuously at or around the same temperature but I definitely don't have cold air blowing out from the vent, I mean, if I place my hand to the vent it feels cold but it...

Who knows what cheapo materials they use when they build these things. Speaking of cheapo things, anyone here been stuck on elevator #2? It's the biggest piece of crap. It lost power at one point and the door stayed half opened at the 2nd floor only to start moving and shot up straight to the...

When I first moved in, second week in October, we had that slight heatwave and I can tell you it was pretty comfortable. Had the AC on for a quick blast of air and it was maintaining 18-19 degrees without the thermostat being on. Thank you! I got the lights from Lowes, they were on clearance...

Wow, looks great, I really like what you've done!

Yes, I've noticed the same thing too, although facing south, it's always hovering around 23-24 degrees in the unit, definitely won't need to use any heat this winter if the building is constantly pumping it into our units. Any luck with finding an additional parking spot? I mean, there's a ton...

Anyways, so how is everyone feeling now that we're finally all settled in our new homes? Anyone submit their 30 day form yet? I did mine over the weekend. The laminate flooring has begun to shift and is no longer flush, quite a few pieces are sticking out. I had shades installed a few weeks...

Likewise, I signed over just slightly $19,000 for the HST rebate to the developer. My lawyer said this was normal. Not a great trade in retrospective; signed over $19,000 to get $15,000 from the developer, they made a cool $4,000 off the transaction for doing nothing at all. Yeah, all the...

Oh yes, I've definitely toured the facilities pretty extensively, the gym for our condo looks as if no one has even worked out in it yet, the pool was closed this weekend for maintenance, I believe the south terrace (BBQ area) opened yesterday but I forgot to check it out, the north terrace is...

Hey Reign, First weekend in the building was quiet. I believe someone moved into a unit on my floor on Saturday but I haven't heard anything since so maybe they're moving in slowly. Parking garage is still empty for 9 Valhalla which is surprising considering there's maybe 15-20 units...

My lawyer said that they'll just mail them back to him if the building registers before. Yes, my lawyer sent me the same email, how exciting! Anyways, so I've moved in and wow, things have been hectic. Picked my keys up at 2, security was nice enough to put the elevator in service early, had...

Thank you thank you! I took a look yesterday and it seems like I'm defintely not the first to move in. Noticed that a few units already had shades/drapes on their windows which are actually higher than my unit so not sure how this all worked with early occupancy. Also, full time concierge...
