So they never did talk about their plan to get rid of this $64,000 deficit... Should we expect to see another hike in our Maintenance fees then? Or another Special Assessment Fee?

Does anyone know what happened to our year-end board meeting? Didn't we usually have one in November in previous years? In regards to the lights being out on some floors - I noticed for our floor, the sensor is waaaaaay at the end of the hall, near a unit that had been unoccupied until...

Every time there is maintenance that requires access to suites, I come home to something irritating: bathroom light left on • bathroom fan left on • hallway light left on • sliding door left open • sliding door left unlocked etc; etc; But this time they took the cake... they left my F$@&ing...

I know! Of all the nights... :mad:

I sent in the info package we picked up from the front desk to my insurance provider and just heard back from them. I was told that my policy nor the rates needn't be changed as the current package has a very good coverage. I asked him about specific cases such as what was often brought up in...

weird... she was the one who said she only had a few signatures since she just started with M1. Regardless, any unit owner interested in signing and seeing if we can get a general meeting about this set up, please email her (see above) and she'll let you know when/where she'll be with the...

A lady approached me today as well regarding gathering signatures to request a meeting. However she only had a handful of signatures collected as she had just started with M1. She has provided an email address at which you can contact her if you are an owner and interested in signing...

She finally returned my call this morning when I left a message yesterday saying I've been leaving several messages with no reply. She said she'd been in and out of the office and unable to return calls - is she the only one working in that office?! I'm supposed to be getting my cheques returned...

Has anyone been able to get a hold of Kitty or ANYONE at the management office in the last few weeks? I've been calling every couple of days or so the past week and a half, leaving a message each time as I've been trying to get my cheques refunded for the guest suite reservation I wanted to...

I was wondering the same thing... I tried calling the management office from work to check a few days in a row but no one ever seems to be there. Didn't feel like leaving a message so just let it be... they'll eventually cash it I guess... On a separate note, when I got home today, the clocks...

Very cool article. I wonder if this is what we're hearing - though, I'm definitely hearing the bangs coming from the inside walls rather than from outside... When I turned my water valve leading to the washing machine off yesterday, surprisingly that seemed to have done the trick as I didn't...

Have been hearing periodic, very loud bangs coming from the walls at night for the past few nights. I know that there's always concerns for pipes in these really cold times and especially since there was that whole by-law thing this past fall bringing up the potential issue, it has me worried. I...

Awesome! Thanks Stephie, Peter @Stephie: Haha - toilet paper roll was the perfect description. It popped right out. I'll take a trip to Home Depot this weekend... and be sure to use gloves when installing them. Guess I'll have to shower in the dark till then^^ @Peter: I spoke with Kitty. But...

Bathroom lights finally went out after 3 year years. I checked the bulbs to see what kind they were so I can see if I could try replacing them myself... they were definitely not standard bulbs... I've not seen bulbs like this before and they look like they are bolted in and you can't just screw...

Does anyone else's fire alarm have a faint green light that blinks continuously just above the test button? It's such a faint light that I never noticed it during the daytime and even in pitch blackness unless you look right at it you wouldn't notice it... so I'm not sure if it's always been...

Management had moved it to beside the trash area. By the time he got to it, it was broken. Lesson learned: do not leave anything other than a vehicle in a parking spot. If you do, it's a breech of condo board rules and you can't whine about it later.

Call the Security Desk and have someone from there go up to the unit and tell the tenant to turn the music down every time this happens at ungodly hours. If the tenant owns the unit, unfortunately this is the most you can do... but if the tenant is a renter, then enough complaints could be a...

Bar Keeper's Friend (the liquid kind: there's one specifically for cooktop cleaning) - sold usually in most kitchen places and I think Home Depot has it too... Does an awesome job with most food/water stains/burns.... unfortunately with these glass ceramic tops though - the scratches etc; that...

FYI: A Post Office has opened up in the Lodestar Shoppers Drug Mart - it's in the back corner beside the freezer section doors. I glanced briefly at the hours of operation - they seem to be open 9am-9pm Mon-Fri and then for limited hours on both weekends. Hurrah~! - walking distance to useful...

Here is an article from BlogTO that also points that it'll be green office space. The bit about Idomo is the third entry down: http://www.blogto.com/environment/2011/01/green_roofs_in_toronto_one_year_later/ Dang... so the unconfirmed rumor from someone in M2 that a Loblaws was going up there...
