Hey guys, New to this site and in need of some sound opinions about an issue I've run into. I bought a new-build condo and it's just about complete. After having a chance to walk-through before completion, I noticed that the 9' ceilings which are very important to me, especially in a smaller space, have been cut down to 8' to route ductwork. I do understand that ventilation needs to go somewhere but I was expecting routing above the kitchen cabinets, or as a small bulkhead along the top of the wall, but in my case, they have lowered the entire kitchen, hallway, half of the dining room area and both bathrooms to 8 feet. After some calculations, it's about 40% of the 1000 sq foot unit, which I believe is totally unreasonable. The condo feels more boxed-in and doesn't have the same airy feel which to me has lessened the 'wow' factor. I know this because the identical unit next to me does not suffer from this same ceiling drop. Seems their ducting has been routed through my ceiling. I've included a pic for reference. I have a pic of the neighbouring unit but seems I can only post 1 pic? What do you fine GW folk think? And what can/should I do about this? Appreciate any insight. Cheers, |
Follow-Up Postings:
Was the unit sold as having 9 foot ceilings? If so, you might be able to get out of the contract. Could you change to another unit in the building? |

Didn't you look at it before purchasing this unit? |
@graywings. Yes, it was sold a having 9' ceilings on the feature sheet. I could probably get out of the contract but I've been waiting a long time for it to be built (2.5 yrs) and also made some fairly extensive upgrades out of pocket (appliances.) An identical suite next to me is available which has no ceiling drop but they'd have to move all of the appliances over which they don't have an appetite for. @millworkman - I bought it pre-sale so it wasn't built yet. The show suite had full 9 footers throughout so I wasn't expecting drop ceilings, especially in a principle room. Pic of neighbouring suite. |
Huge difference between 8 and 9 ft. The second unit you show seems so much airier. If it was sold as having 9 ft. ceilings, and there's a place next door that you could easily move into, then moving your appliances is nothing. Seriously, make them do it. |
@linelle - Thanks, I agree, but they are refusing to do the swap! Seems to me like a completely reasonable solution. |
I think it's fair for you to ask for some concessions. What form that takes is up to you. I noticed cabinet and crown molding differences between the two pictures. Do you have nicer finishing details in your current unit? Are you willing to deal with them over this? If you are, and you want the higher ceilings- fight for them. |
Edit- duplicate |

So, they're offering to give you the other unit, but they're keeping the appliances you paid extra for? Not cool. However, we might not be talking about a simple case of a hand cart and a couple of guys dragging the appliances down the hall. It looks like you have gas stove and the neighbour has electric. Does the neighbour even have a gas hookup? I'm guessing the vent hood would also have to be moved, requiring reconfiguration of the cabinets. Does the vent hood play a role in this? Dig your addition of a gas range require extra ducts to vent outside? You might be screwed. I've seen in markets where there is a lot of demand, the builder simply says "if you don't want it, here's your money back and we'll sell to someone else." Especially in a hot market and it's been 2.5 years. They may be excited to get rid of you if they can now sell the unit to someone else for a lot more than you paid. Sorry. :-( |

One the one hand, I see why you like the full nine-foot ceiling. On the other hand, I would rather have a perfectly flat dropped ceiling than some of the weird soffits and chases I've seen in this sort of commercial or multi-unit construction. I have seen lots of awful soffits dropped through the middle of rooms, soffits that stop dead in the middle of the wall, soffits on top of soffits, soffits with recesses in them. This apartment at least offers a clean solution. I "get" the whole taller ceiling thing, too, but it's also a matter of proportion. Depending on the size of the bathroom, I tend to think an eight foot ceiling looks more in proportion with the overall size of a smaller room. I think sometimes the ceiling height and what it does is a bit overstated, personally. It's a matter of comparison that causes the issue. |
Hahaha, Pal. I have a 5x8 bathroom with a ceiling that vaults from 9 to 11 ft. I'm used to it, but it is a little oddly proportioned. |
@pal - I wasn't overly concerned with the bathrooms, dropped ceilings are fairly typical there, but kitchen - and to a lesser extent hallway - is my issue. I'm sure the reason they dropped the entire kitchen area was to keep things clean. Rather than having a portion of the kitchen ceiling low and elsewhere, not. It's more a matter of disclosure. I'm sure they knew this would have to be done from the beginning. |
- Posted by palimpsest (My Page) on Fri, Jul 4, 14 at 20:58
I would be annoyed by the non-disclosure, and I would also be annoyed that it was *my apartment rather than someone else's for sure. But I am surprised (or maybe not) by what people even in the building trades do *not know about from the beginning. I agree they probably knew something would have to be done, but the "how" and the "where" may be somewhat left up to chance. I've looked at plans and said "Okay, this is the floorplan, what does the Ceiling Plan look like?" and just gotten blank looks, because nobody's really thought about it. |

Although it is pretty common to have a dropped ceiling in kitchens, I too would be highly annoyed. If I paid for 9 foot ceilings, I would expect 9 foot ceilings. I too wonder if their reluctance to change appliances stems from your unit seemingly having been upgraded to gas? That's a big change. As a preconstruction customer they should be trying to keep you, one of the people that made the build possible, happy. Sadly it seems some don't care once the deposit is in their hands. Do you have a realtor or real estate lawyer who can advocate for you? If I felt I could walk, especially if their breach of contract entitled me to keep the $$ I laid out for appliances, I would certainly threaten to do so and follow through if they couldn't give me what I wanted. In your case there may be an identical unit that does have gas on a higher floor. At the end of the day you have to decide how much this is going to bother you day in and day out in your home. Some things about my old condo I thoughts would drive me crazy I didn't even notice after a year. Some continued to bug me. I also question whether this change will depress your resale value. If so, that's something very specific I would imagine you should get compensated for. |

Ps if you're in Toronto you have 10 days from discovery of a "material change" to the unit to walk away...so the clock is ticking to consult someone. http://levyzavet.com/condominium-law-10-day-cooling-off-period-and-giving-proper-notice-of-rescission/ Pps the blog below might give you some humor relief |

On GW there are plenty of conversations about whether a particular finish (cabinet color, counter material, etc.) would negatively impact resale. In my way of thinking, if the house, price and location are right, the other stuff can be taken care of, even if it's over time. It's not like you can just cross the street and say, I'll have this one instead because everything about it is the same except for the things I didn't like in the other one. However, in a condo complex, you actually have that situation. Here's one with half the ceilings at 8 ft. The one next door has all 9 ft. Hmmmm. I know which one I'd pick. Even if I had to settle for an electric stove, I think the ceiling height would matter more to me. |
OMG...I would absolutely talk to a lawyer and walk if needed. That is NOT what you "ordered!" Ceiling height is very important to me...all the more if I were living in a condo that may not have as many windows as a house. I would have a lawyer draft a quick letter. I imagine that should do the trick. Good grief, I would be mad. |

Corgin: 'The kids rule, the kids always rule, the kids win, and they should'
Epic words from the head of the Smashing Pumpkins recently receiving the Alternative Press vanguard award. And here is another gem:
The kids should always kick motherfuckers like me out of the way. And I mean that.
Indeed, and I don't doubt for a second that he believes that. Here's the full acceptance speech:

20. The Flaming Lips
Do you realize that you have the most beautiful face/Do you realize we're floating in space/Do you realize that happiness makes you cry/Do you realize that everyone you know someday will die
And instead of saying all of your goodbyes let them know/You realize that life goes fast/It's hard to make the good things last/You realize the sun doesn't go down/It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round
Do You Realize/Do You Realize/that everyone you know/Someday will die
And instead of saying all of your goodbyes let them know/You realize that life goes fast/It's hard to make the good things last/You realize the sun doesn't go down/It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round
Do you realize that you have the most beautiful face/Do you realize
21. Weezer — Weezer blazed onto the scene as a band that still had that metallic punch of guitar distortion and fuzz, but without all of the angst or pensiveness of some of their contemporaries. While the self-titled "Blue Album" and "Pinkerton" are beloved fan classics, the band still enjoyed with acclaimed success the "Green Album," "Maladiot" and "Make Believe," selling a total of more than 9.2 million albums in the United States and about 17.5 million worldwide. "Make Believed" reached number two on the U.S. charts and number one in Canada. And, of course, all those accolades aside, they brought geek rock to the mainstream:
22. The Replacements — No top alternative list would be complete without The Replacements, and they just edge out Sonic Youth and the Meat Puppets for their sheer longevity and influence on the industry.
23. Depeche Mode — Not to overstate matters, but Q Magazine has listed Depeche Mode as one of the 50 bands that changed the world, and "the most popular electronic band the world has ever known." At more than 75 million albums and singles sold worldwide, Depeche Mode is one of the most successful bands of all time. Enough said:
24. The Offspring — One of the highest selling punk rock bands in history, The Offspring's third album, "Smash," sold 20 million by itself, with the breakout tracks, "Self Esteem," "Come Out and Play" and "Gotta Get Away." After the mediocre offering, "Ixnay on the Hombre," The Offspring enjoyed its greatest mainstream popularity to date with "Americana," with the songs "Pretty Fly (for a White Guy)" and "The Kids Aren't Alright." The band had another standout track in 2012 with "Days Go By."
25. Arcade Fire — With just four albums under their belts since the release of "Funeral" in 2004, Arcade Fire has seen a meteoric rise in popularity, basically skipping over the sophomore slump phase and going straight to cult status as one of the most innovative, diverse acts of this generation. Among their many accolades, the band won the Grammy of the Year award for their album, "The Suburbs." Their most recent offering was "The Reflektor, which "Rolling Stone" named the top five release of 2013. Here they are performing the French cover, "Poupée de Cire, Poupée de Son:"
26. Sonic Youth — Sonic Youth has been around for as long as R.E.M. and is an influential as any other band on this list. With their experimental and ferocious guitar style, they came to define alternative grunge before grunge was a thing, releasing five albums before 1990s. An idyllic photo of band member Kim Gordon walking across her bass tells the story of "disaffected youth" like no band before them could. And one only has to listen to the opening seconds of "Kool Thing" to hear the inspiration behind songs like Nirvana's "Aneurysm" and many others.
27. Coldplay — To say that Coldplay has, at least temporarily, abandoned their roots is probably a mild understatement here in 2014 with the release of the squeaky clean, synth-pop, lovefest known as "Ghost Stories," but the band was once an influential rock act in the same vein of Oasis, Radiohead and U2. While I personally enjoyed parts of "Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends" (not the least of which was a tune that didn't even make it onto the official cut, "Life in Technicolor II"), I view "X&Y" as Coldplay's last true rock album. The rest of it — well, let's just stick with classics: "X&Y," "A Rush of Blood to the Head" and "Parachutes." That's really all the Coldplay you need to put them in the top 30 on this list.
28. Bush — Bush's "Sixteen Stone" was one of a handful alternative rock albums in the 1990s in which almost half the record became a radio single. Off the strength of singles, "Everything Zen," "Come Down," "Glycerine," "Machine Head" and "Little Things," the debut album sold more than 10 million albums in the United States, although the band didn't enjoy equal success in their native England. After 1996′s "Razorblade Suitcase," the band fell out of the mainstream until 2011 when their new album, "Sea of Memories," hit number 18 on the Billboard Top 200 chart.
29. Meat Puppets — Like Teenage Fanclub, Sonic Youth, The Replacements and The Flaming Lips, Meat Puppets influenced countless bands coming out of the early 1990s alternative rock scene, including Nirvana, Sound Garden and Dinosaur Jr.:

Click here to see picks 40-50.
30. 311 — During a period in the early 1990s dominated by grunge and gritty distorted guitars pounding out teenage angst, 311 brought some diversity to the genre, fusing numerous traditions, including metal, rap, raggae, jazz and funk, into one surprisingly smooth sound and paving the way for bands, like the Gorillaz, to take alternative rock in new sonic directions.
31. Teenage Fanclub — Perhaps best known for the song, "Mad Dog 20/20″ on the "DGC Rarities: Volume 1″ compilation and their moderately successful album, "Bandwagonesque," Scottish band Teenage Fanclub inspired numerous artists on this list. Kurt Cobain called them the "best band in the world."
32. The Beastie Boys — Formed way back in 1981, The Beastie Boys were originally a hardcore punk outfit, but switched over to hip hop in the mid-1980s, much to their benefit, as 1986′s "License to Ill" achieved critical success, selling 40 million albums worldwide. With seven albums reaching at least the platinum level in their career, the band was still going strong through 2011. Sadly, Adam "MCA" Yauch died of cancer in May 2012. The vote is out on whether Michael "Mike D" Diamond and Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz will release more music.
33. Alanis Morrisette — Although Alanis Morrisette didn't have continued commercial success after her classic album, "Jagged Little Pill," that offering alone sold more than 33 million copies worldwide, more than Counting Crows have sold their entire career! Maybe she should be number 32. In any case, Morrisette, at 21 years old at the time of the album's release in 1995, became the youngest artist to win a Grammy for Album of the Year.
34. The White Stripes — The White Stripes need only two people to captivate thousands of people with their innovative, minimalist approach to song writing. Plus, their melody to the song "Seven Nation Army" is known to sports fan across the nation and probably the world.
35. Silverchair — A band right at home in grungeland with a wall of sound and a scratchy, growling lead singer to boot, this Australian artist jumped onto the scene with the 1995 release of "Frogstomp, with notable singles, "Tomorrow" and "Israel's Son." Band members were just 15 years old when the album was released. The band continued to release albums through 2007. Daniel Johns introduces the following performance with, "This is that grunge song:"
36. Incubus — On alternative rock mainstay, Incubus is on the short list of bands are still making music more than 20 years after forming.
37. Beck — Beck has utilized so many styles since his first album in the early 1990s, from rock, country, folk, pop, funk and rap, it's hard to pigeon hole him into any one genre, and perhaps because of his versatility, his albums have continued drawing solid sales from a devoted fanbase.
38. The Cranberries — Behind the wistful voice of Dolores O'Riordan that recalls her native Ireland, The Cranberries have produced four albums that have made it to the top 20 on the Billboard 200 chart. The band, another mainstay in alternative rock, formed in 1990 and released its last album, "Roses," in 2012. Their 1994 album, "No Need To Argue" is a study in musical contrast, from a soft, smoky sound to the thundering protest song, "Zombie." This video accurately captures the album's beautiful bleakness:
39. Counting Crows — Full disclosure, Counting Crows is one of my two favorite bands on this list, along with R.E.M. That being said, I think the band deserves to be in this part of the list because of their commercial success after the release of the singles "Mr Jones" and "Round Here" and the album, "August and Everything After," along with the follow-up album, "Recovering the Satellites." They are also one of the few bands on this list that was formed more than 20 years ago that's still making music and touring. The band also gained mainstream success again with their original song, "Accidentally in Love," which was on the "Shrek 2″ soundtrack, and the Joni Mitchell cover, "Big Yellow Taxi," which can still be heard in coffee shops across the country. Note: After more consideration, I actually dropped Counting Crows from number 32 to 39 because I felt The Beastie Boys should be higher on the list.
Top 50 alternative bands of all time: 40-50
These days, alternative music as a genre doesn't have quite the same force as it once did. Most midsize towns that used to have dedicated alternative rock radio stations, where one could readily hear the latest from say, Ben Folds Five or the Gin Blossoms, either closed shop altogether or coalesced and transitioned into mainstream rock or some mix of mainstream and hard rock. Although many of the bands from the 1990s — and a handful from the 1980s — have continued making music, only a few of the major metro areas in the nation still have true alternative stations.
First, let's take a look at what "alternative" actually means.
Wikipedia defines [[alternative rock]] this way:
The 'alternative' definition refers to the genre's distinction from mainstream rock music, expressed primarily in a distorted guitar sound, transgressive lyrics and generally a nonchalant, defiant attitude. The term's original meaning was broader, referring to a generation of musicians unified by their collective debt to either the musical style, or simply the independent, D.I.Y. ethos of punk rock, which in the late 1970s laid the groundwork for alternative music.
Music fans, particularly alternative music fans, will notice radio waves have few bands like Weezer, Bush or Stone Temple Pilots anymore, that is to say bands that use a lot of distorted guitars, driving rhythms and power chords. The culture seems to have changed, and as such, much of alternative today, with a few exceptions, could be more described as alt-pop. Although artists and bands like [[Lorde]], [[Chvches]], [[Of Monsters and Men]] and [[Foster the People]] maintain the off-the-beaten-path signature sound of alternative music, transgressiveness and to some degree, the defiance, the sound is more infused with keyboards, computer effects and experimental guitar techniques and chords. [[Muse]] is one of the few alternative bands in the modern era still producing the big rock sound reminiscent of bands in the 1990s, while still experimenting (See this video) and offering an alternative sound that's different from the mainstream.
While this list is will be inevitably subjective, I am going to base it on some criteria and try to remove my personal preferences as best I can.
Here are the criteria on which I am basing this list:
- Impact on the music industry and influence on other bands
- Commercial and critical success
- Longevity
- Versatility
If this was a list of my personal favorite alternative bands of all time, for instance, Counting Crows and R.E.M. would probably be number one and two, respectively, along with a bunch of bands only a handful of people have heard of, like this list. But no, I'm going to try to keep it as objective as possible, with the understanding that subjectivity will inevitably creep in on any list like such as this. I can already think of a few bands that I absolutely cannot stand ([[Alice in Chains]] comes to mind), but that will and must be on the list because of their impact on the industry. I am also going to deduct points for bands that did not really stay truly within the alternative genre throughout their careers. For instance, U2 certainly had an alternative sound in the early 1980s, but quickly adopted, purposefully or not, more of a mainstream rock or adult rock sound by the mid- to late-1980s, carrying into the 1990s and 2000s.
The quintessential difference between alternative and the mainstream was best put in a review of Radiohead's song "You and Whose Army" comparing Thom Yorke and Bono:
The lyrics, which seem to taunt authority into cracking down on the rabble, could have been given a completely different meaning had they been set to more triumphant music. (You can practically hear Bono delivering a song like this without a shred of irony). But here, Yorke sounds defeated, as if even he's not confident that an insurgency would succeed.
That is alternative in a nutshell.
Without further adieu, here are picks 40-50:
40. Garbage — Sci-fi pop with a female kick and a wall of sound to boot, Garbage was widely influential in the mid-1990s. Although Garbage didn't have much commercial success after its first two albums, the band still managed to sell more than 17 million albums worldwide.
41. The Killers — The Killers are one of the best bands of the 2000s, with four albums, "Hot Fuss," "Sam's Town," "Day Age" and "Battle Born" reaching number one in England and Ireland, with "Sam's Town" and "Hot Fuss" selling a total of 12 million units worldwide. The band has been nominated for seven Grammys and 24 NME awards.
42. Blur — All you need to know is "Whoo hoo!"
43. Everclear — Not one of my personal favorites, but more than deserving of being in the top 50.
44. Rage Against the Machine — No band spewed defiance with more punch than Rage.
45. The Pixies — Influencing countless bands through the years, The Pixies will forever be etched in alternative history for creating "the blueprint for alternative rock that would be followed and embellished upon by everyone from grunge to Britpop," according to YouTube user iConcertsTelevision.
46. Dinosaur Jr. — Forming in 1984, Dinosaur Jr. has also influenced untold numbers of bands through the 30 years they have been playing music, although the band didn't enjoy the commercial success of some of its successors.
47. The Church — Once described as "dense, shimmering, exquisite guitar pop," while The Church also didn't enjoy widespread commercial success, the band has a distinctive sound that makes them a must for any fan of alternative.
48. No Doubt. No doubt.
49. Mazzy Star — Mazzy Star's 1994 song "Fade Into You" has been featured in more than 20 TV shows and movies. Enough said.
50. The Lemonheads — Again, not a personal fan, but The Lemonheads' influence alone puts the band on the list.

A fire blew the top off an oil storage tank during the noon hour Thursday at Bailey Yard, sending clouds of black smoke into the sky.
No one was hurt in the explosion, Union Pacific spokesman Mark Davis said. The rest of the tank was intact and acted like a chimney, as heavy smoke poured out of the top.
The 6,000 gallon tank is on the west side of the year, near a run-through service track. It contained about two-feet of heavy lube oil, Davis said.
Davis did not know the cause.
The fire was reported at 12:30 p.m. and was put out slightly more than an hour later with foam suppressant, Davis said.

Much of the uncertainty surrounding the race to become the next state treasurer hinges on whether Dean Martin will challenge Gov. Jan Brewer for her office or continue serving as the fourth-ranking state executive. Even if Martin has decided to run against Brewer, he can't announce it anyway. If he does before January, he would have to resign as treasurer.

Sumulikoski blow rocks Town
18 Apr 2008 - 12:07:12
Ipswich Town's push for a play-off a place has been dealt a blow after it was revealed that Velice Sumulikoski will not play again this season because of a shin injury.
The 26-year-old FYR Macedonia international is expected to have surgery next week and joins David Norris and Richard Naylor in the Portman Road treatment room for the last few weeks of the campaign.
"Shumi has a tingling sensation in his foot and around his toes and we've been investigating the cause," Town physio Matt Byard told the club's official website.
"The surgeon will indicate what is the next step, but at the moment we are moving towards an operation, probably next week, which is likely to mean he will be out of action for around three months."
Sumulikoski has made 14 appearances for Town following his transfer from Turkish side Bursaspor in January.

I have 2 of these heads on my system, each on different valves. They are both in a circuit with 5 heads total. The one in question is on a hill and I have been told that this head has a pretty stiff spring in it. The head rising is intermittent, sometimes it will pop on its on and other times it will get half way up and I have to pull it up by hand the rest of the way. I know it is a combination of being on a hill and residential pressure, but is there a work around that I may try to help sole the problem? I know I can replace the head to fix the issue, but I am liking the total area that the head covers. The other head is in a lower lying area and has no issues at all. Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
td, What is your system pressure? What is the vertical height difference between your water connection point and the water exit from the head? Since these are commercial rotor type you might try a smaller screw-in nozzle to reduce the pressure loss at the head and then run the head a longer time. Also are these new heads, return them after you checking the first two questions I asked. JMHO Aloha |

static pressure is 65 psi. The design pressure is 30 psi. Not quite sure on the exact height, but I would guess about 2-3 ft from the valve and probably another 1ft or 2 from the main. Looks like the specs on this head are operating pressure of 40-60 psi. Do I base that off the design pressure or static pressure? So if I replace just the NOZZLE, I can compensate for the pressure loss at the heard? hmm I will try that. I get these heads rather cheap, so I will probably keep it and possible place it in one of the more lower lying area, if I cannot get it to work in its current location. Thanks |
