Fiona Campbell, one of the Directors at the KPRI, recently hired Paul Jackson of Sanding Ovations to complete 56' of handrail, baseboards, trim boards and crown mouldings to replicate the original designs from 1960's. He is able to match any existing trim, and is also able to create doors and windows.
His work is excellent and Fiona is thrilled. Contact him via his website for more info: http://www.sandingovation.com/

Before you start construction or hire a contractor, read this!
From a neighbour in the Kingsway area:
"I am sure many of you have suffered from the abusive noises
being generated by gas powered concrete chop saws. While I could regale you
with a plethora of facts and legislation which prohibit the current practices,
I believe that we can get some quick action going throughout our neighbourhoods
with the "Good Neighbour" information approach as suggested in the
attached information sheet which we could e-mail around to our close friends
and neighbours for those of you who agree with the approach.
If I may steal a page from a Toronto Police Neighbourhood
Watch Session, vandals will look for an easy place to break into first and just
move on if a place looks secure. So it is with some Contractors, they don't
want a hassle from well informed home owners or neighbours they simply want to
bull their way through any situation and get paid as soon as possible.
You may find
Ontario Ministry of Labour (MOL) information on occupational health and safety
issues related to construction noise at: http://www.ihsa.ca/occupational_health/hearing_protection.cfm
. The little chart below is a screen grab from one of the videos on the MOL
site."
