I have a dark blue Accord, so might have been me. I was taking some pics of my place pre-drywall for future reference.

Hi Magurn Gate and Lane Residents.

I went to the site today and the towners have drywall in block 185. Yayayayaya!!!!

Looks like things are motoring along. Okay so they have these really big heaters in the
homes right now to dry out the inside. I am assuming it is for the drywall but you know
I really don't know. Anyways, so they have these heaters in there and it looks like some
kind of fire coming out of them. I just hope they don't burn down the place. When I was
in my house I noticed that the heater wasn't on in there and there was a ton of drywall
waste in my in-law suite. I am glad the heater wasn't on in mine.
Here are some pictures I took of my house with the dry wall.

The Kitchen and Dining Room

The house now


Enjoy!

Andrea - Wow getting closer! 9ft ceilings isn't an option for your Rothmill is it? Is the soaker tub the standard 5ft or 6ft one? Did you get the jets and the handshower upgrades?

Everyone else how's it going! Came out from the structural on Friday, was pretty surprised that Frendel still doesn't have all their pricing yet; anyone else get their structural done recently? Did they do the same as for us and just took the Canac pricing?

Hi Tony,
No I didn't have that as an option(9ft ceilings) I asked them because I would have loved to have had them but they said no since it was a townhouse. For the soaker tub I took the jecuzzi. It has 6 jets but doesn't have the air massage. This is the cost they were charging for the jecuzzi:
Soaker tub with jets and air massage – $4198.00
Air massage tub $3072.00
Soaker tub with just the jets - $1622.00 <-- you see why I just bought the jetted tub. Who has that kind of coin for a bath tub.

I didn't get the upgraded faucet with the hand shower and now I regret not doing that upgrade. I will manage. I think that they can be changed so that it can be there but it will just cost alot of money to do it.

Welcome to the forum Michele and Amanda. You guys are going to have a great time planning for your new house.
Read through some of the threads that are specifically about your model and check out the section on upgrades.

Hi Andrea - No pictures update for this week???

M&A - Hi and welcome ... if you PM me and send me your email I can send you what was sent to me. Unfortunately no pricing yet on a lot of the kitchen cabinet stuff.

Re. Granite I never looked at what value Mattamy's charge for that upgrade is ... we're leaning to some other stuff!

I assume you got Lot63? We're across the street on Lot 71! What made you decide Sandcliffe Corner vs. the Spirit Homes?

Hey there Tony,

No real update this week because not much has changed up there since I was up there last except it looks like they are getting ready to pour the garage slabs.(sorry no pics) I found that my garage dirt was more level and all the debris was gone. They have also finished bricking the front of my house but I know they are still working on Irene and Dayanands home and the rest of the towns to my left. (I have pics of course)

Here is the block as of Thursday March 26th







Everything is looking great.

Hi all,

Can't believe I just went through 18 pages in this thread! My name is Ed and my wife's name is Sharon and we just purchased the very last lot on Magurn Gate, lot #65! we got Brentrock elev B and it's our first home. We currently live in Mississauga and just got married this past Oct.

Definitely looking forward to meeting you guys soon, and very excited about our first home.... I'll probably have a trillion questions though as this is completely new to me, but you guys seem to know your stuff

oh and I was doing some reading on these forums and came across this

http://www.hawthornevillager.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=15343&highlight=cold+floor

does this not concern you guys???

Thanks for the welcome, it's April right? I think I still have some memory after reading those 18 pages... hehe

The cold floor issue concerns me because I don't think WE as the buyers should have to worry about it, or purchase something after the fact to fix it. It should be done right the first time, ESPECIALLY if other Mattamy homes have had this problem in the past... doesn't the electricity being used by that fan neglect any savings on heating?

then again I have NO idea what an average heating bill would be per month

More neighbours!!!

Welcome Ed & Sharon!

Wow so who's gonna update the neighbourhood map someone put up before?

Re. the cold first floor .... yes its a known problem ... I thought from what I've read that by ensuring that the 1st floor air returns are funtioning that its helped tremendously, but I could be wrong.

ya I read that too... but what exactly does that mean? what do you do exactly? I'm a bit confused about that ...

welcome Lisa! we're (Me = Ed, Wife = Sharon) on lot 65 ... I wonder what happened to this thread, it seemed really busy at the beginning

Things will get a bit more busy once more changes happen Besides, Andrea will be providing lots of pictures for us once our lots have the foundation poured and the houses start getting built - they go up fast once they start moving... Right Andrea??

Welcome Ed and Lisa!!

And yes Lisa - we are neighbours! When did you guys buy #76?

Right

Welcome everyone. Ed and Sharon, Lisa and Paul.

You guys will get more pictures of your lots once i move in.

Cheers
