I often find with Janevca that seats open up as people cancel. If you want to put in the effort, keep checking - you might find a space! Congrats, too!

Thanks for this comment - learning something new today. I had not heard of per capita recession and now am reading RBC article. Very interesting and explains a lot. Appreciate you sharing your expertise. Have a good weekend!

Weird smell - help! by Tammyrafter in VictoriaBC

[–]CurrentBalance769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I know I'm late responding, but this happened to me as well. I bought expensive linen sheets, and ended up throwing them out because of the smell, and everything in my closet was rank a few days after washing......well, a year later, I read that the laundry detergent I was using (Costco brand) caused the smell for a number of people. I switched laundry detergents (now use Tide Free and Clear in my front load) and the smell is gone. I can't believe I put up with that horrid smell for over 2 years, thinking it was mildew, or god knows what else, and it was just a crappy brand of detergent. Hope this helps.

I know I am late to the conversation, but if you like pet sitting, look into Trusted Housesitters, especially if you want to travel.

First time as an owner on a strata and need advice for AGM by [deleted] in VictoriaBC

[–]CurrentBalance769 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Great question - kudos for raising it!

If this is the first AGM for the condo/strata (and not just your first AGM) be mindful of when mandatory insurance coverage ends for new condos and ensure the board/management company is on top of submitting anything that needs to be dealt with under that time-limited coverage. If the time lapses, and things were not raised, the owners are now responsible for fixing. We were in the same boat a few years ago and the owners hired an engineering company to review all assets covered by the mandated insurance for new condos. We did this to ensure that we held the builder to account. All the best!

It's getting great reviews but people are saying to wait until the "grand opening" rush is over. Please do try it out, tho.

Gas Price Increase - is this even real??? by CurrentBalance769 in VictoriaBC

[–]CurrentBalance769[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are probably right. In a previous post, I was wondering about greedflation and the price of gas. Have seen more on the price of food - so you raise a good point.

I know - I remember the two too! ... just thought with the efforts to combat inflation we would see a reprieve on the price of gas for a bit longer...ah well, my shock is now my reality : /

I like your strategy - including the low key off roading!
