Furnace Filters! Update - Update 2

Sunday May 4th for FILTERS in the lobby. There are still lots left!
Please stop by and take them off my hands. $4 each

(Seems I got the days wrong here, it is Saturday and Sunday May 3 and May 4 - sorry for any confusion. A seniors moment. Weekend being the operative word I guess<S>)

We will be in the Lobby this coming weekend for everyone to get  a chance to pick up a filter. Check the size you need and come by and get a replacement filter

May 2nd, 3rd 10-11am 
May 3rd,  4th 11-noon

*******

We now have three boxes of filters from the Whalen office in Bolton. Myself and other Board members will be in the Amenity Room Monday evening from 6pm till 8pm providing filters to anyone who needs them.

Cost of a filter is $4 - so very cheap. First come first served but we have 100 of the 13x24 size and 50 larger ones at 15x28. .

Come and replace your filter. CASH Only please, correct change much appreciated

We also anticipate having quotes from reputable firms for you to consider for ongoing supply of filters but more importantly for annual or semi-annual cleaning. It is very important to get your furnace cleaned prior to starting up your air conditioning.

MONDAY - 6PM - 8PM Amenity Room

YOGA has started

We started our first Yoga class today with thanks to Scott who is volunteering his instruction. Great class! And a great way to start the day!

This is a free service to anyone living in the building. Why not come to the Amenity room once  a week and get a gentle stretch in.

It is every Saturday morning at 8:30am for 1 hour. Did I mention FREE?

We all thank Scott for volunteering his time. Check out his gym at: http://www.snapfitness.com/gyms/burlington-on-l7l0b1/1421

We will be having a class this coming Easter Saturday. Get some fitness and stretching in before all your Easter family arrives

Does your door slam?

As responsible neighbours we can all help out by making sure our front door doesn't slam shut each time we use it. Remember, your neighbours are quite close and probably hear it slamming. You can adjust the door to close properly with just a small ladder or step stool and a screwdriver.

Be safe doing it of course, but reach up to the door closer and look for two screws on the inside near where it attaches to the door. (see picture)

Adjust one way a couple of turns and try the door, adjust the other way if necessary until the door closes softly. Be a good neighbour!

Rooftop finishing touches

The builder has added some nice touches to the rooftop garden. Take a look at the cool logo in the walkway:

And the rooftop flower boxes were put in today as well:

Not sure what the plants will be but it should look really nice.
All we need now are the barbecue's and some tables<S> along with some warmer weather

Spring is coming? Hawks are stopping by

Saw a hawk perched on the light post outside my unit the other day. Grabbed my camera and managed a couple shots before it took off. I think it will be exciting time this spring (when it finally arrives) watching the birds on the pond.

Building Update

I have been away lot recently so the blog is a little behind.

We had a recent Owners meeting in the building where about 16 owners showed up to find out what is happening with the Performance Audit and Reserve Fund study. Basically, as required by the condo act, we are hiring an engineer to validate the builders work as well as determine our Reserve Funding for the next 25 to 30 years to help ensure we have enough funds to cover new roofs or other significant maintenance that will occur years form now. This study will be done my around August.

Spring (I hope) is finally coming so we should start seeing each other outside and on our balconies. Please get to know your neighbours and say hi. Also remember that throwing cigarettes, water or anything off your balcony is not permitted (in addition to not being nice for your neighbours). Check your condo papers for what is allowed on the balcony - no BBQs for instance or Cable antennae's/satellite receivers or storage items. Likewise, remember that sound travels even more so outside so respect your neighbours by keeping your noise within reason so as not to unduly disturb everyone nearby.

With the snow disappearing the garage entry will likely be dug up to fix the heating system in the driveway some time this spring and the outdoor lights will be repaired.

Garage Doors

We need to work together to make sure our garage doors close properly. There are a few door fobs that are not properly programmed according to maintenance folks, hence these few do not allow the door to close properly after they enter the garage.

In the last notice you received from TAG there was mention of the garage door fobs and what to do.

Please remember to check behind you to see if the doors are closing after you enter. They should close within a few minutes, if not then try and press the garage fob numerous times next time you enter and see if the doors close once you have entered.

If they still do not close then please contact TAG and get your fob replaced.

Working together we can reduce the times the doors stay open. Thanks
