Moving Day Etiquette

What actually happens on moving day? Why do so many people dread the actual day of moving? The day of ‘closing’ can be smooth and relatively painless (Okay, we won’t go as far as to say it is enjoyable), if these few things are organized and every one’s feelings are considered, through the entire process.

Custom Modern Contemporary Design is ‘Green’

Wonderful opportunity on the quiet no-traffic crescent at Yonge & Sheppard.

This custom modern contemporary home was originally designed and built by a professional couple;  she was a York University faculty of environmental studies and he was a professional Engineer who described himself as a sustainable technologies engineer.

Their goal was to build a house that was kind to the environment, required a quarter of the energy of a conventional home to operate and is healthier to live in. 

Equally important is that this home offers style, design and all the modern amenities most people desire.  VIEW MORE PICTURES HERE Read the rest of this entry »

Where Will You Be Saturday Night?

It’s ‘Lights Out’ for Earth Hour 8:30 – 9:30pm Saturday March 27th, 2010

What began in a small town in Australia has become a world wide event. This Saturday night between 8:30 – 9:30pm please turn off your lights, your televisions, radios and computers.

This is the perfect time to connect with neighbours and/or family; go for a walk, tell stories or simply take a look at the sky and realize that the stars still shine at night – they are just hard to see past the glare of Toronto’s city lights.

What plans do you have for Earth Hour this Saturday night? Share your ideas here – leave your comments or notify neighbours of any events.

Here are a few ideas we found online:

Check out the Free Concert at Dundas Square

More Toronto Events include fun things at the ROM, Science Centre and more!

Toronto Real Estate Springs into Spring!

The Toronto Real Estate Board site stated that “Greater Toronto REALTORS® reported 7,291 sales through the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in February, representing a 77 per cent increase over February 2009. The average price for these transactions was up 19 per cent year-over-year to $431,509.
