Even the stairs were without backplates such that if you slipped on the step, your leg would go right through jamming the wood against your shin with horrible agony.
Chess, am i to assume this happened to you on at least one occassion?
At any rate, the renos look great. I know what you mean about the housing market, same thing has happened here too, i think i read average S'toon housing prices are up 16% from last year. There's going to be a whole pile of variable-rate mortgagees who are already over-leveraged that are going to start feeling the pinch with interest rates on the rise. My immediate boss was just transferred from here back to Wpg and has had an "interesting" time finding a home. It's a good thing that he's got some money/flexibility and can move quick. Newly listed houses don't seem to last a day there.
