You're referring to how a 750sm is way too deep as a square floorplate right? Maybe tower guidelines should have more nuance (if one side is between 24-30m, the other side must be less than 24m, if less than 21m wide, other side can be up to 36m long, etc). Or simply floorplate perimeter...

I found them on google, they quoted me $3000 for a corian kitchen table - just wondering how reputable they are as I can't seem to find any reviews...

how do i check the assessment of other properties?

I paid $385k for a 620sf 1br at Pace Condo in May. My assessment recently came in at $435k. The only comparable listings in my building r 2br units for about $499k. Granted those 2brs aren't much bigger than my 1br, it still seems slightly over assessed, no? I'm used to seeing assessments way...

He delayed it about 3 times, promised a completion date of Nov 30 or 20% discount, in writing; now it's delayed indefinitely (he said "i have a lot of other projects, so this one is on the backburner") I'm thinking of taking him to small claims court. F small businesses...

On Nov 7, I got hold of him and he promised a completion date of Nov 30, or else a 20% discount. I got that in writing. I tried contacting him for an update, but he ignored my phone calls and emails until yesterday, when he said it'll be behind schedule indefinitely, because he "has other...

In July, I moved into a new condo and hired a small custom furniture store on Queen/Roncesvalles to build me a concrete kitchen table. I sent the guy a 3d model showing the exact design and dimensions. I referred him to a concrete table at CB2 that I want to match exactly in its texture. He...

For me it's at least $50k if the corner is part of the main living space, but worthless if the bedroom occupies the corner. For a clear view across the city vs looking straight into neighbours 50 feet away, I'd pay about 15-20% more. For a sunny southern exposure instead of a north exposure, I'd...

ProjectEnd, where did you find this render?

I had bought the safavieh shag rug online a few years ago and it was much more crudely constructed than expected, impossible to clean, and shed a lot. I'm now looking for something similar, but with finer strips of leather, like in the pic below - something I can at least kinda vacuum Any...

I got Black Pug DMK in Parkdale to build me one out of cast concrete with waterfall edges for $1600. Should've been ready this weekend, will report on results soon!

I'm jealous of any 30 year old who can spend $1M on a 1+den :rolleyes:

So I moved in last weekend, and am loving the new place! There is so much daylight that I don't need to turn on any lights - even in the bathroom (I leave the doors open lol) - basically until sunset.

So I closed on the SW corner unit last month. After closing fees, and assuming I get my HST rebate, the real price comparable to a resale listing is about $384K, for 619sf (sale price was $376K). The assignor paid some of the closing fees and accidentally promised to eat those costs, otherwise...

For a small job such as a kitchen island + cabinet refacing... I'm just wondering if it'll be cheaper than using the people at Home Depot...

Well this is frustrating, they actually have a colour close to what I wanted, just that I never got the chance to select it because I bought on assignment. Any chance I can pay the builder to change my kitchen lol? I'm sure it'll be cheaper than any refinishing quote home depot will give me

Sorry to keep asking home renovation questions here, but this truly seems to be the most active forum around lol. Here's a pic of my new kitchen - well the same kitchen in another unit. I rather have this colour of cabinets: Is there a way to lighten the colour of a veneer - short of...

My quote from Ikea (excluding supporting millwork) was $3500 for the first picture and $2000 for the second picture (though with the same 1.5" stone - thinner wasn't an option). The cheapest option would be acrylic at $1500 for the second picture (also 1.5" thick). Yikes!

I've circled in black the only numbers that do appear on the assignment agreement. "$22k profit" is merely implied and listed on the chart just for full accounting (it doesn't appear on any document)... the seller doesn't actually profit that amount given the closing fees already paid, and is...

This was way too complex to explain to my parents (whose funds I apparently no longer need in light of a new smaller upfront cost to the assignment purchase), and since I'm a visual person I made a chart for them. Basically, when everyone signed the assignment agreement, no one noticed that...
