More Explanations.

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

The building we live in was erected back in 1960 and was the first High Rise Apartment Building along Riverside Drive by a Real Estate Developer, who later added many more buildings to the Windsor skyline. After his passing his assets were distributed to his children and when we were looking for a place to stay, his son Joel and his wife Ana were still managing the building.

When things needed repairs or replacing Joel did the work himself. When he updated a number of the units, our’s included, he replaced the Baseboard Heaters with Floor Heating. They kept us toasty in the winters but when they sold the building, things changed. The New Management Company did all kinds of unnecessary updates throughout the building so they could raise the Rents. Whenever an older tenant left, the unit was gutted, and the Floor Heating was replaced with Baseboard Heaters.

The New Company also added controllers on our heating. The first year we were sweating our backsides off in October and freezing by December. The person controlling our Heat lives in Toronto. According to the Rent Review Board, there is nothing we can do, but according to the Board of Health there is a big problem. Unfortunately, the BOH And the Management Company are still going back and forth on the issue.

We could simply solve the problem by moving, but in recent years Rents have skyrocketed, and we would have to pay the Utilities that we are presently grandfathered in as part of our Rent. We’ll try different things but for now, we’ll simply layer up inside our home. Almost sounds like RVing in the Winter.

I finally got hold of the Dewalt Company today. After the Computerized Answering System finally let me speak to a Live Agent, things only got worse. They sent me an E-Mail report of what she thought I said, which was far from it. Since they record all conversations now, when I send the required information to them, I’ll recommend they listen to their recording for more accurate information.

Looking at The Weather Network they showed yesterday’s High Temperature as happening right before midnight. Today warmed to near seasonal, all while the landscape was turning White. Now we start the roller coaster ride until Spring.

We later watched “Matlock” and “Law and Order” for entertainment.
