Re: 請問有無住在加拿大既媽咪?

oscar and doggie,

thanks for you info. One more question... which one is quieter? My husband wants a quiet one.

We need to get a power one because I love stir fry ...

We are thinking to get the Pacific for the free rice-cooker. :-P

Re: 請問有無住在加拿大既媽咪?

Having the alarm give you a peace of mind and lower the house insurance.

I have heard that a family moved their stuffs to a new house before setting up the alarm and everything was gone on the next day.... I have heard a lot of break-in in my area (Hwy 7 and Yonge) :-(

I remember back in old days where in summer time we open our main door entry at night (central a/c was not popular in resident home). Well, not anymore!! Vancouver and Toronto are the among highest break-in in Canada.

I would highly recommend doggie to get one. You can't distinguish whether the stranger works for the builder or not.

Those sales staff surely know how to bully you guys. It doesn't cost them any penny to alter the plan unless your alternation require town of markham to approve. The higher the selling cost of the house, the higher commission they get from the builder. Sometimes, those vampire would change the builder suggest upgrade price so that they can earn higher commission. Oh well ... it's the seller market right now.

Regarding the keypad, you should at least get an extra keypad outside the powder room, otherwise, each time you come back home from the garage, you have to run to the front in order to turn off the alarm.

hahahah... that's funny!
yes, i'm quite concern about the mad cow disease too... i don't know what i'm gonna do without beef!!!
as far as i know, they are still doing some investigations, hopefully there'll be some good news. as you know beef is one of the major industries in alberta, i don't know what effect will be. but from the news, other countries are already cancelling their order with north america/canada... let alone alberta.

yes, i do remember the good old days that you don't have to lock your house.... and in fact this happened to us about 5 years ago. we just bought a house b4 we married and my husband was moving in first. so after a hard morning's work of moving, we suggest that we go for lunch and move more after that.
so off we went. we came back with our front door wide wide open. i quickly went in and check, nothing was touched.... so we decided we didn't need an alarm in that house !!

Okay...so today to my horror I discovered that Shopsie's no longer sells an open faced roast beef on bun, smouldered in greasey gravy with real french fries. Those bastards decommissioned their roast beef making machinery in favour of pitiful deli sandwiches.

Damn mad cow disease.

PoohPoohMaMa,

Well, you have to scarifice for lower cfm (power) if you choose quiet one. I found both about the same. I choose Pacific because of the autoclean and it comes with Stainless steel for easy cleaning. (Autoclean don't clean exteria)

You must have the bad experience with Aspen Ridge. The worst experience that most new buyer get was not the delay but the first two year after move-in. Settle with cracking walls, leaking basement, squeeking floor .... (Sorry doggie if I scared you), not to mention, no grass, muddy driveway, feels living in the sahara desert. And those damn repair men screw up your daily schedule (forgot to show up, coming back number of times)

Doggie, sleepdeprivedmom: If I remember correctly, A.R. teamed up with some sort of high tech. company in that site. Each household connected to Fibra Optic and they don't use Bell. Is this still exist?

Oscar,

are you talking about Futureway? My previous condo was connected with Futureway network. Quiet good and cheaper. However, you have to bear with not-so-smart people in the company. I called a month ahead to cancel the service in beginning of May, but they cut the service on the same day by mistake... And sometimes my phone line had no call waiting or internet is out of service...

But overall, it is cheaper, faster (adsl) and more flexible in service for such a small company. I was able to talk to the customer service rep within 15 minutes .... But I am not sure the service level if the Futureway Community is getting bigger...

Re: 請問有無住在加拿大既媽咪?

To all Canadian Mom (and dad, if i am not the only one)

We must have taken "Time Management" course, otherwise, how can we able to do our office work while surfing bk forum.

Question, anyone know of a place, close by (around union station) that sells REAL roast beef on bread, covered in REAL greasey gravy and served with REAL fries? I only found those damn healthy food nuts!!

PoohPoohMaMa,

That's it - Futureway. My friend used to work there. He got fired due to management shuffle. Just another office politics scape-goat.

Re: 請問有無住在加拿大既媽咪?

You guys work for Canadian company? So do I. Our founder of the company is "Sir John MacDonald". (Doggie/ckkwkl, don't worry, this won't be in your citizen m/c exam) We used to have regional site in Quebec until they told us to change the company name because it's too "English and too Canadian". And so, with corporate decision, we "cluster-f**k" them. (In the military they have a term for this... It roughly translates to ...."standing around, confused as heck, with your thumb up your butt")
