Save the Co-op - Rebuilding Unit #107

For over 5 years now Unit #107, the largest 2-bedroom unit in the co-op, has been unoccupied due to water and mold damage that nobody could find the source of.

Last year we had Metro Restoration strip the unit down to the concrete floor and timbers of the walls.

While extreme, this let us find the source of the problem.

Now the rebuilding is underway. Metro Restoration and Western Development are working together to first rebuild and re-seal the structure up to the standards of a full envelope remediation.

This includes putting a kitchen window in to brighten up the lower unit.

Once this first piece of work is complete, there will be several days of testing the new seal to ensure it properly stops water ingress and will be an adequate barrier for  years to come.

Then Western Development will be done and Metro Restoration will come in to re-floor/furnish/cabinet/build the interior of the unit. The refurbishing will turn the unit into the best unit in the whole co-op and it will be ready for occupancy starting in January, 2013.
