Hey katherine,
Thanks. I got into scrapbooking a few years ago in 2003 while my condo was being built. I wanted to keep a record of it. I had no idea when I was doing that that there was this whole industry for the hobbie.
I look forward to meeting you when you move in.
I see that you live in sauga as well. So do I. I was up by Dixie and Rathburn but I sold my condo in the summer and now I am down by Lakeshore on the border between Port Credit and Lorne Park.
Andrea

Hey Katherine,
When it comes to scrapbooking Michaels is my second home. I live in that store sometimes and i need to get shares in the company. Seriously. scrapbooking is a very expensive hobby but I love it. When you move in I will show the scrapbook I am making of the building of my home.

9 foot ceilings wasn't an option for Mainstreet towns. That doesn't meant that they aren't an option for the detached homes.
Good luck with the appointment though.

No problem Katherine. I can't wait to see what they have done this week. I hope they are on the second floor.

I am making my front room into my scraproom. I can't wait to have a dedicated room to do my craft.

Sorry April,

no 9' option in our houses as well..... there's actually very limited structural upgrades.

That is exactly correct, it's priced out per staircase so you have to multiply it by two...

You know Rob,
That is what I thought and was told when I asked but when it came time for my appointment I believe I only paid for it one time. I chose oak stairs and paid 2508 for them. I know I have two sets of stairs. I remember paying double for the stain which was 1698 and for the newell posts I only paid it one time for 112. I am still a little confused because if you have to pay twice and I only paid once then I hope my stairs with the stair runner aren't the regular stairs.

We had both sets of stairs done the same way and we paid double, one for each set.... ????? Maybe I'm confused by the question...

Rob,
I went back through my e-mails from my DC Colette and this is what she told me with regards to the stairs.

My question re: the cost of having all oak stairs with stain and square pickets. Is the cost in the book the price for one set of stairs or for both sets.
Her answer:
Price in book is for all stairs. Square pickets add $112.00.

My question re: getting the stairs with the Newel post. How many will I need for my home.
Her answer:
Traditional newel posts are included and square chamfered newel posts are included with $112.00 for square pickets/posts. However, Victorian newel posts are $514.00 each.

My question re: what is the cost for staining the stairs the same colour as the floor? How many coats of stain are applied to the stairs?
Her answer:
The cost is $1696.00? 2 – 3 coats based on the colour they are trying to achieve.

Hello All!

Recently came across this awesome site ... and wanted to say hi to my future neighbours!!!

We just bought last week and are pretty excited!

Has anyone picked your brick colours yet?

Welcome neighbour! We are #69 (and I heard all the jokes already ) We will select our brick colours this weekend.

I think it's based on what you do... We had the stairs stained which was one fixed price, the other part was the coverings, we had berber installed on them which was based on the per staircase thing. I think hardwood is the same thing, you can have one staircase done in hardwood but not the other so they split it out.. Then again what do I know... I didn't explore the other options because we had other want/needs

Nice to meet you yet to be named neighbour

Yep, brick picked, structural done, colours done... just waiting for the house to be built now

They would be nice.. but we couldn't afford that We actually did that in our first Mattamy place but that was only one staircase. We had this one stained (the pickets and the rail), but the actual stairs are berber. We looked at some aftermarket hardwood options for the stairs and somewhere down the line we'll have them done that way because it cost WAY less than going through Mattamy.

Hi ...

LOL no worries ... that coulda easily been us as well coz we were thinking about Lot 69 but you were quicker to the draw I guess!

Wow so the sales centre called ya to pick colours ... must mean that we're soon as well!
