Final offer from Bell was $109.90/month for...

Just that I'll let others be the guinea pigs until any teething problems are worked out in our area. Remember how Rogers was when we moved in.

Yeah, no problems with door openers here.

Any Internet service that new, with installation work still taking place toward Greenside? I'll pass for now. Seems like a recipe for flaky service.

We knew the first owners. It wasn't in bad shape then.

Rosehaven had to come back a few times to fix things, but that's not abnormal for the entire neighbourhood or the other builders.

Last I knew the green stuff wasn't much better. Fibreglass-faced board is better. Cement board is better still. Kerdi over any drywall is supposed to be a great product, and there are similar...

What you're looking at is fairly common "builder standard" stuff. If you ask for a shower, this is what you get. If you want a Kerdi or similar system, you have to specify it. Taping is not...

You can't load a steel beam like that.
