I prefer to have a balcony & use mine quite a bit. I think it comes down to personal preference.

It also comes down to the design. We had two spacious balconies, however, there was one fatal flaw, every other persons balcony was above us and in a dangerous way. One time I was just in my room when I see a shadow. I look out the window, when a blanket or mattress had fallen onto our balcony. The next day, another one had fallen on a balcony below us. Also, balcony design was not private at all. Everyone could just watch each other. What building am I talking about? Monde. Man that condo sucked. I have such bad experiences with that condo. Dude the sauna had collapsed a couple years after the building had opened. The ceiling in the sauna collapsed… the pool was also closed for 2 years after just 1 year of it being open due to leakages. So much more I’ll probably post on the Monde thread. If you want to live there please don’t. Quality is overall bad and cheap. It may look good on the outside, but surely not on the inside.

Looks like they are smoothing out level 64 now and it's back to having 2 columns instead of 3, as it was in level 62. Check out the guy working on the slab end...yikes!!

(ii) levels 63 to 75 will be modified from a four-Unit layout to a ten-Unit layout...

...so I presume those were supports for the new modifications then?

So how many weeks do we think we will get out of bloors higher vantage point I'm gunna say 6 weeks

A little while ago I think I wrongly posted that I thought there were a few broken windows that had been installed because they were not tinted the same as all the others. I believe I was wrong because on further inspection, there is another pair of windows without the tinting. What these two pairs of untainted windows have in common is that they are located where one of the crane supports (may not be the correct term for them, sorry) anchor to a slab. It just so happens that on each of the levels where these untinted windows are install, the glass on those levels are taller than typical. I believe the untinted glass panels are temporary because there wasn’t the space to install full height glazing because of the crane anchor. I’m not sure if I am explaining myself very well or if someone else has already posted this already.

It is interesting they're doing the windows that way for sure. I guess they needed someway to reduce wind dynamics where the crane stabilizer thingies are attached the to inside the tower, hence the untinted placeholders we're seeing.

The crane stabilizer 'thingies' are apparently creatively called crane ties, wall ties or tie-ins

And I can always hear Mr. 42 cringe every time I call something a thingy here. It's just I'm an artist and I am posting on a forum that is not my field of expertise...so "thingy" is a good word to fall back onto. <3

So happy to see how fast they are currently installing glazing. I hope the RCS is outside my field of vision soon and just the beautiful glazing instead.

Have a look at the guys whose leg is keeping the stage away from the building so the glazing can pass between the stage and the building. I would not want any of these jobs.
