The keys to construction

The crisis of the week has been the Vancouver condo. First, there is construction going on to fix some leaks in the wall of our unit. Second, our house swap partner lost her set of house keys. Initially, it looked like we wouldn't be able to get a set of keys, but the entire building would have to be rekeyed at our expense. This added to the complexity of having the contractors doing work inside our unit and arranging access for them.

The end result is that spare keys were worked out for the meantime; the construction should be done by the end of next week, with a minimum of disturbance; and the building will be rekeyed, but all the owners will share the cost. Probably about as good an outcome as could be hoped for.
