The A Team

 The "A Team" has been the key to success of my reno. I am 13 days into the process. It has been fast and productive due to the individuals below.

I highly recommend:



An excellent Realtor:

If you are moving, I recommend El Cheapo movers- they did the entire move from my previous house fast and the price was right. The best part was that they guys were so nice and easy to work with- positive, happy movers!

After that, you need a star demolition team- meet Ugene and the boys
Call Ugene at - 647 887-5632. Fast, best prices and cleanest team of workers


The best and most rational carpenter in the entire world is Oliver Nichol. He has built everything for my entire family over the last 20 years. He is not great with his cell phone, so you must be patient when trying to reach him. He also builds everything himself so he needs alot of notice for projects. Here is a sample of what he did for my grandparents condo last year:

Oliver Nicol- 647-857-8833. Leave a message and tell him Alana sent you


The key to my renovation is my Contractor- David 416-804-4637

David is hard working, dedicated and time line driven. Here is a sample of his work- I used him last year to oversee my grandparents renovation. You can use him too after March 1 ( fingers crossed!)

My Family and Friends:

I started this blog because my mother is in Florida during my renovation.  She wanted to stay in the loop on daily happenings. The readership has grown beyond her. The following people have been major supporters in her absences.

Special thank yous and shout outs are in order to the following people:
Mom and Dad: Helping me with everything. Dad is the visionary, Mom is the artist
Brother Ben: The bestest brother and the most helpful person a girl could ask for
LeeC and Bonz: Love and support from afar ( and now near)
Jess, Oshe, Shoshana, Shira, Steve, Shlomo, JR: For giving me advice, guidance, support, insight and hope along the way on a daily basis.
Eric: My second bro- thanks for being, everywhere!

Thanks,

Lanz on Lonsdale

Half way there! Two weeks left to go!

  1. Wow, Lanz, it sounds like you're assembled a dream team. My wife and I are moving soon, and we're beginning to realize how daunting the whole experience is. We've got a realtor already, and our family is willing to help out. My wife is getting worried about her piano. She wants to hire piano movers to make sure everything goes according to plan. Do you know if a lot of moving companies also move pianos, or should we find a separate mover? Thanks for the advice!
