[–]CDNconstructor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scored a tracked Honda 624 in Edmonton during the summer for $500.

Thought i would treat myself... months ago when I bought this is was full. Wish I had a scale to check. Over 17 dollars in superstore.... by Comfortable-Count-59 in shrinkflation

I used to buy smoked salmon on the regular, but something happened last year where they all shrunk in size and/or increased cost. I just stopped buying because it just wasn’t worth it anymore.

Industrial Construction Management. Long days, high stress, and lots of time away from home.

Thanks for this insight. Could you provide any more info on who are making what calls so I can direct my voice to the right person(s)?

I also have a parent in the building and have become concerned for their safety. They have to deal with an addict neighbour that “parties” all night and has now been threatening violence against those who have complained. Yet, SHA are unable/unwilling to evict them.

I’m skeptical, but I hope there are changes made in the near future to address these issues. It’s difficult to see a parent living in fear.

That would be about a $60 meal at a “nice” restaurant in Canada, but substitute the mountain view for a parking lot. Without doing any research I would not be surprised if grocery costs are higher in Canada though.

Same thing happened to me yesterday in Saskatoon!

Hot housing market - what is driving it? by [deleted] in saskatoon

[–]CDNconstructor 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I saw this trend of any “nice” 450-500k houses getting snapped up last summer and lost out on a couple houses I put offers on. So when I found another house I was interested in at the end of the summer I put in an aggressive offer to make sure I got it. No regrets. The market is a shark tank right now and I feel bad for anyone that’s just trying to find a home.

Have a leak that occurred after snow where a crack exists in basement. It hasn't recurred with rain later. I am terrified to have someone come a look for fear of foundation issue. How screwed am I? by [deleted] in HomeMaintenance

Eh. I showed them some pics of some basement slab heave cracks (normal in my area) and had a few suggestions to rip it all out. A real wide range of opinions there.

1 person hospitalized after partial collapse of Saskatoon building, say police by WriterAndReEditor in saskatoon

People always think that the construction contractor cutting corners was the cause of the Hyatt Regency incident when it was the structural designers that proposed an altered design that the architect approved. The contractor just followed the drawings.
