Finally, we moved in Thursday - took a while for the movers as expected but we were all in by around 5pm. Big sigh.
We have been offline since last wednesday, Cogeco finally arrived early this morning (Monday) and hooked us all up - whole home PVR, Internet ad telephone. It is the first time in over 20 years that I have been offline for 4 whole days. I didn't even open my laptop. (Ok, I did get business emails on my smartphone<S>)
However, my home office is now set up and my machines are working so I can get to work again.
We had Ikea installers here all day today doing a wall of cabinets in the master bedroom so we can finally put things away. Still waiting for our closet organizer folks to install the custom stuff, so coats and bedroom suits and shirts etc are still in boxes.
We have really enjoyed the last three evenings on the balcony looking at absolutely fantastic sunsets - almost like being welcomed by nature<S>.
Met our direct neighbours Stephanie and Sura, who move in later. Can't wait to have a get together for everyone to meet each other.
Tired from all the running around so pictures later. Let me know how your move went and how you are doing...

Big Sigh
Our PDI was scheduled for tomorrow (Friday), a week later than most from what I've heard. We move in next week. Now it is delayed until the day before we move, really disappointing as of course we are dying to see what it looks like. Oh well, these things happen I guess. Something about back orders.
My sister's move went well the other day so one of the three of us are in, with two more to come over the next few weeks. Must say, it appears nice and quiet according to my sister and the balconies will be fantastic after a year of being stuck in a place without one.

Fourth floor moves
My wife and I got our own call to schedule the PDI. So exciting, we cannot wait - next Friday
The fourth floor is starting to look finished with balconies starting to go up on the north end (our end) and in the inside of the north end. Moves should be also starting this week I imagine. We are only 2 weeks away now.
You can see them going in below:

Roof Top Delight
In my recent tour, Alex showed me the progress on the roof. It looks fantastic! You can see below that the deck is shaping up as they install insulation and tiles. The pleasing "brick road" will be offset with imitation grass and on the far edge (north side of the building) by two circular areas of lighter concrete tiles. On the right hand side (Sutton) will be a BBQ area with pergola while farther west will be a circular area for quiet contemplation or reading perhaps.
Of course the inside is progressing as well with third floor folks starting to move in and work continuing for those of us on the fourth floor.
This is our main bathroom starting to look more finished.
The laundry "room" is a little small in our unit but the tiles look nice.
And other units are also coming along nicely
And "someone's" kitchen has been delivered.
and their bathroom is tiled.
Finally, others have flooring in and are getting closer to be finished
It is all looking fantastic and I cannot wait to get moved in.

Third floor moves in
This week the third floor owners begin moving in. We are getting closer and closer - my own move in date (first half of the fourth floor) is only 4 weeks away. Yeeeahhh!
You can see the third floor balconies going in which are needed prior to move in dates. This is a picture from the Sutton street driveway looking at the north side of the building.

Visit with Owners
We went up to take a look at the building on the weekend and had enough luck to meet two of the current residents. On the first floor a lovely lady and her friend were admiring the outside when we chanced by so we struck up a conversation. She was gracious enough to allow us in to see her place. Wow! Very nice fit and finish. She indicated it was very quiet. Lots of light. We had a great conversation with them and enjoyed the visit very much. Thanks! (You know who you are.)
As we exited her place one of the new owners on the second floor happened onto her balcony and of course we had to say hi. She has closed but not moved in as she is redoing the floors with hardwood. She indicated she was really happy to be finally in. So, we have met two of our new neighbors already and we don't move in for a little under 5 weeks.
On that, my wife has calculated all the potential closings and PDI dates based on those that have occurred so far in case you are interested. More to come on that shortly.
