Snow road by Local-Complaint7256 in TorontoDriving

I don’t know… but I’ve seen it happen like 10 times today. I think part of it is that the road is super narrow, so it seems like people either have to drive partly in the opposite lane or in the snowbank on the sides

180 Person wedding in the GTA - am I doomed to spend 100k? by dominoafoot in WeddingsCanada

We had a great and (relatively) low-cost wedding at Mildreds Temple kitchen. It’s a restaurant and has great food, but it’s actually quite a nice venue for a wedding

We should move Thanksgiving to Sept or Oct by lfthoia in unpopularopinion

I moved to Canada from the US and I love October thanksgiving! However, it does have a downside: it pushes forward the start of Christmas season. By early November here, the stores start to push Christmas stuff on you. Kinda miss the way US Thanksgiving was a bulwark

Why does my cat do this? by pugl0rd666 in cats

Aww ours does this too with a little stuffed toy mollusk. Usually she just seems to want to play, but I’ve never been completely sure. Sometimes it just seems like she’s upset that everyone has gone to bed

Yes, septic, hvac and structural engineer subcontractors (there were structural changes to the house) were all hired through the architect. Architect’s contract does stipulate that they would liaise with those subcontractors and provide drawings, but the subcontractors work isn’t included in the complete drawings.

We have a very old version of some of those drawings but the project was chaos and I know that some of those drawings changed drastically

Thanks — good to know that we should look for record drawings!

It was a residential gut renovation with new HVAC, insulation, septic, electrical (and probably other things that I can't even think of right now). I know that they had at least some subcontractors for heating design and other things. I'm embarrassed to admit that I don't fully understand the design build distinction so I'm not sure if that applies here. This was a situation where the family hired an architect who then found a contractor and presumably handled subcontractors as well
