			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The lawns and gardens are coming alive at Granite Springs but the owners are not doing the strenuous spring clean-up<strong> this</strong> year.</p>
<p>“We can<strong> enjoy </strong>the spring.  Since we made our home at Granite Springs, we have more time for leisurely walks; we have more time for our sports and hobbies;  we have more time to devote to our volunteer work; we have more time for visiting family and friends; and some of us may even have time to visit the golf course next door.  We are especially enjoying the freedom the condo lifestyle allows us and spending time with the new friends we have made here at Granite Springs”.</p>
<p>Yes, these are comments frequently heard at the Granite Springs office.</p>
<p>We invite you to view our model suites and to become part of our Granite Springs community.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yes that’s right!  A recent modification made with your convenience in mind is allowing Granite Springs Condominiums to offer its owners the benefits of an onsite car washing station.</p>
<p>Some of the details are yet to be worked out but as we see it, you will be able to wash you car at a selected location in the underground parking area.</p>
<p>Keep your car clean while saving time and money!</p>

<p>Please view the above video to learn more about the ICF construction process.</p>
<p>The forms lock together somewhat like Lego Ò. Concrete is pumped into the cavity forming the structural walls of the building.  After the cement has <em>cured</em> or firmed up the forms are left in place to provide the following benefits:<img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-27" style="float:right; padding:left:13px;" title="pic2" src="http://granitespringsmuskoka.ca/blog/wp-content/uploads/pic2.jpg" alt="pic2" width="233" height="264" /></p>
<ul>
<li>Superior structural integrity</li>
<li>Insulation</li>
<li>Sound attenuation</li>
<li>Space to run electrical and plumbing</li>
<li>Backing for interior wallboard and exterior siding, stone, and cedar</li>
</ul>
<p>Thus enabling us to deliver to you a home that is</p>
<ul>
<li>inexpensive to heat and cool</li>
<li>sheltered from suite to suite sounds as well as exterior noises</li>
<li>deep window sills for plants and treasures</li>
<li>affordable condo fees for years to come</li>
</ul>

<p>So here you are at home. Warm, dry and hassle-free.  Sounds pretty good, doesn’t it?</p>
