More Renovations

I guess the owner(s) are panicking with summer coming and the new building at the corner of Gouin and Rive-Boisée opening as apartments instead of condos. I am sure many people will be leaving and it will be much harder to rent this place once the new building opens. So the owner(s) of the Marina Center have started to renovate the halls by ripping out the walls and tiles next to the elevators to replace them with new walls and fancy floor tiles. You can see the work on the 16th floor, since they are starting up top and working their way down. They started replacing the hall carpets in December and never finished leaving a sloppy unfinished mess in the halls. Looks really professional... NOT! But it doesn't really matter how much they try to revamp this building... it just won't work. Its just too big of a job because of the years of neglect. Outside, the parking area is littered with garbage, not to mention all the dog poop. The apartment are small and very old. Cheap material was used to renovate and that makes for low grade results. And lets not forget the elevators, also known as the elevators-from-hell. They look bad and never work properly. Not a month goes by that either an elevator is out of service or the water is shut off. I know, I know, I am ranting... I need a vacation.
