A saw a group of teenagers loitering on our street at night. They were carrying some pumpkins and then tossed them into the woods by Dean's house. Not sure if its someone that lives on our street or just some passerbys.

stupid jerks, what's the sense in that? The little kids love those kind of things, pumpkins and all.

anyone else have their 1 yr inspections done? I only ask since our anniversaries are fast approaching.

I have done the 1 year inspection....not a whole lot of stuff, only a few misses.....most cosmetic due to settling

Wanna wish everyone a happy and safe Holiday season!

How do we find out when the grading is approved?

That sounds like a great idea. Maybe the weekend before the Civic holiday weekend?

I spoke with our new customer care rep (Chris) and he said that all the lots on Coombs have been certified so we are free to put up fences. He also stated that the second coat of asphalt will be done at the end of the summer.

What about to call Picket fence and invite them for the FREE on site Quotation? Do you know any street where they did the job?

It's great, Keri. Go ahead and call them so we'll know what to expect. Somebody has to start Let us know, please, when they schedule to come... In case we're at home we can talk to them. There are different fences ( board overlap or board on board...), different posts , so they can estimate some variations and we'll choose which one is more suitable for us. I guess we have to go with 6x6 posts, and it's important to ask if they pack them into cement as I saw some companies put them into dirt only ( not stable at all). I'm cautious with the down-payment now as we were cheated too by the interlocking company in Mississauga and by the Hardwood from Brampton...
We need to ask if they follow the proper standarts :
-1/3 of their total length buried in the ground. This is especially important on corner posts and any posts that will carry heavy weight or withstand high wind pressure.
-pack the posts with concrete. Place two or three shovels full of gravel in the bottom of each hole before the post is placed into position.
-Brace each post with stakes after it is properly aligned. Keep the stakes in position until the concrete (if used) has thoroughly set.
-to help eliminate water standing at the post base slope the concrete slightly away from the post and round it off with a trowel. Tamp the concrete lightly to eliminate any air bubbles left in the mixture that can act as water pockets.

Hi,

I too would be interested in putting up a fence

Thank you

Anybody on the north side interested in a fence too? Our properties are approved as well, so technically nothing can stop us. Our Intracorp neighbours could do their back fence with us now and wait until their grading gets approved and finish off with their left and right. It's worth opening the discussion...

I won't be available then so I will miss this gathering but would like to go in on putting up a fence. Please share any info

I reached out to Security Fence "Local Milton company." as well and recieved a quote from them for similiar style as described above. If anyone would like to see the quote email me here.

I received this email below from Mattamy.

The lots have been certified by the town so they are ready for fencing if you haven’t done so already. I am still waiting to hear from our construction team on when the driveway paving will be completed but it is likely that this will also be more towards August. Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
Kind Regards,
Christopher Preston

Security Fence will come and meet the street on Monday July 30th at 6:30. We can meet in behind the backyards as well.

Cheers.

An added note from Security Fence:
A few things that i can tell you that we do that sets us apart from the others include:

-12" holes, 3.5-4ft deep with concrete underneath the post
-most of our framework is screwed in
-our scallops are cut on a jig, not freehand
-we staple the middle of the boards to help prevent warping
