A friend of a friend works at Poulins. Rumour has it that there are a type of termites that eat steel that have been found on site. Usually they die off from the cold by this time of year, but due to the unseasonable weather, they are wreaking havoc. The sensors may actually be termite repulsor gadgets that emit a frequency that they can't stand, but it's all hush hush.
HAHA..Just in case... This is a Public Service Announcement. A termite that can eat through metal is one of the main sources of the urban legends surrounding these destructive pests. Metal does not contain the plant-baTermites hate sunlight. In fact, they can actually die if they are exposed to too much sunlight and heat.sed cellulose that termites love so they are not tempted to eat it.

What about those termites that can chew a block of wood and turn it into a fancy table? Don't tell me THOSE are an urban myth too!?!

Well, those are for real. Seen what u typed above happen in a couple of great cartoons.lol A hunk of wood one sec, then presto.. a Dining room table, banisters, sitting chairs
So people might not rent because there were a couple of loud bangs during construction? I think you overestimate how much knowledge the average renter has about this kind of thing. They'd basically only know about it if they read this forum.
I think I'd be inclined to do a lot more research into the structure as a condo buyer, rather than a renter. I mean typically you rent for a few years and then you move on. It's not a major investment. Renters are concerned about building amenities, finishes, layout, location, etc. Not the nuts and bolts of the construction process, as mentioned above.
People can research all they want, but ultimately what they will find is that this tower was built with the proper permits in place, and at the end, certified for occupancy by the consultants responsible for the various aspects of the design.
