Oh wow. Is it smack dab in the middle of the day?

Mine is at 9am which isn’t too bad and the email said they’re about 2 hrs in length. But I’m not sure if others are scheduled throughout the day

They did this to me too and when I got to the PDI, I didn't have a kitchen counter or sink so just beware! A PDI should be a completed product.

Also the units are supposed to come with the toilet paper/towel holders. They shouldn't be charging extra for that. If anything, just point out that it's missing on your PDI or your one month Tarion followup

It came with towel rods in the linen cupboard or coat cupboard. They just don't put it up in case you want it somewhere else. Paper towel holders I had to buy.

We are in phase 2 and after watching everything phase 1 has endured, were wondering if all the pain and suffering was/is worth it? We still have a ways to go before we see occupancy obviously and I know we are going to be in for a ride...

I would say it was not worth the wait. I love it now that I'm in it but I wish I didn't buy it and could have been in a new house 3 years earlier to be perfectly honest.

Has anyone moved into the Garden towns? How was the PDI? I'm scheduled to move end of October. Can anyone post some pics of the Kitchen island, I'd like to see how it looks with the redesigned breakfast bar.

My PDI is on Tuesday taking posesssion next Monday. I’ve gone in on my own and I’ve seen the counter. In my opinion it’s a waste of space and I can’t believe they wouldn’t have given us cabinetry for storage as the kitchen is already very small.

I have a photo but it’s not letting me attach it. I’ll see if I can do it in a spwerTe post.

For people that have moved in... are your internet routers also in your garage?? I got the Bell gigabit promo and when Bell came to install, the installation tech thought it was a really silly location for the fibe cable, but that’s where he set up the router. Now we barley get a wifi connection on the 3rd floor even with a wifi extender. Is anything set up differently in your homes or do you have any suggestions??

The box where the cables and everything that bring the internet to the house is in the garage, but my router is plugged in upstairs. I don't know for sure, but I thought you can pretty much put the router where ever you want, as long as there is the wall plug and ethernet cable plug. I would try moving it...

There seemed to be a spot for the WIFI modem in the walk-in closet (with a hide-away panel). This is where the Bell tech installed it.
