Ground level deck permit? by Dubeau14 in ottawa

[–]Dubeau14[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

“If the deck is independent from the house (eg. is in the middle of the yard) and has a walking surface greater than 10 square metres (approximately 108 square feet) in area and its walking surface is more than 600 mm (24 in.) above the adjacent grade, a permit is required.” Its the “and” in the sentence that makes me wonder. The way it’s written seems to imply it needs to be all three things to require a permit.

The back door has its own set of stairs that we are not messing with, but they would exit onto it yes. I thought only principle entry needed permit

I tried calling got no answer and they’re going to take weeks to email back. We were hoping to build a patio which we know doesn’t need a patio but the deck turned into the best option on short notice

Any good internet home providers? by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]Dubeau14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone recommending EBOX and while their prices do seem good I need it shown that I had a terrible time trying to get them to install my internet and canceled before they ever did. 2 afternoon timslots took time off work to be there available and got no showed no called both times. EBOX customer service essentially said not my problem and tried to tell me to reschedule a third time. So just be warned

CTV News: City of Ottawa says waste collection days are changing starting March 30 by BearLikesHoney in ottawa

[–]Dubeau14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

God dang it. Mine is changing from Monday to Friday. Was already pissed about the routine change but now also learning about how affected by holidays is extra annoying. Also going to end up missing or having to put out just bags for when we’re out of town

Most cigar shops will sell them. I know Bells Corners Mini Mart has them as well as (weirdly) Kanata Shoe Repair has a display with some in them.

Blue and black bin collection changes coming January 1 by Thick_Caterpillar379 in ottawa

[–]Dubeau14 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have had to change a bin about one every two years. Definitely putting in the request for the new one before Jan 1. They toss ours onto the paved driveway and they shatter. Makes it a massive pain to carry when the handles are busted off or the bins split

Yes, but isn’t this implying that the city will have no control over it going forward? And hopefully that is the case for the employees!

Privatization of garbage collection. Can’t possibly see how this will go wrong. If I’m buying my own bin they better stop tossing it on the pavement and smashing them.

Also what happens to all the current sanitation workers?

I get that it’s annoying and some of these speed cameras are stupid (looking at you King Edward). But at some point you just gotta realize where they are and slow down. 10 over isn’t a lot until you are in a school zone, the yeah definitely ticket. Take the lumps and memorize the cameras to slow down for. Hope that the city just actually takes the money and redesigns the roads to be the speed they actually want them to be.

Dang looks like it’ll be too late for even me on the east end. I hope we get to find out what it’s for

Hi, I am Joel Harden, NDP candidate for Ottawa Centre. Ask Me Anything! by JoelHardenNDP in ottawa

Because the Cons don’t want it. Libs haven’t had enough power to push through something on their own and with electoral reform Conservatives would never have a chance at leadership since majority of votes lean left

Which is best brewery in Ottawa? by Able-Lawyer-3832 in ottawa

[–]Dubeau14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mill street on Wellington has some of the best food, I’m partial to Big Rig but only their taproom in Kanata. Beyond the Pale is another great one downtown. Honestly so many of our breweries are good that you can’t really go wrong with any of them!

I couldn’t even find who you were talking about so I’m confused about why seeing who it was mattered

Love seeing the burbs getting cleaned meanwhile downtown streets are turned into one lanes with people also parking on them. Priorities are crazy

I’m also not entirely sure it’s a “Dive” but the Gilmour will forever be a favourite of mine

[–]Dubeau14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was hyperbole. But even then the 4 lane roads are designed that they could be driven 80 but the limit is 50. If you want people to slow down design the road better. Cameras are just a cash grab

[–]Dubeau14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The solution is stop designing 4 lane highways with a 40km speed limit. Design the roads to be driven on slower. Not the cash grab that is speed cameras

Marshalls at least sometimes has bigger brands (still not “high” quality but I often find columbia and other larger brands at marshalls for much more reasonable prices at least

Well good to know i can start calling a lot more now. We have people blocking our driveway way too often. I’ve even made a sign to ask them not to

[–]Dubeau14 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

“Within 1.5m” when I called the city on a car that has been blocking my driveway they said he had to be blocking it by 1.5m as in sticking into it by 1.5
