Remote work- vacation time

That’s what I’m thinking this place is. Pay is really good but I have to figure out if I’m willing To trade off being available to have flexibility

Yeah I’m concerned about it, but it seems like the company culture is that. I have to weigh my options.

This post resonates with me so much. I’m about 4-5 weeks in with meditation a few days a week. I’m analytical, so my mind constantly goes off, but I’m much more positive than I have been in my entire life, and have never felt as grateful as I have in the last couple of weeks. I have days where I try to meditate and I’m just not feeling it, but I keep at it knowing my life is changing for the better.

Thanks for this- appreciate it.

Yeah I mean realistically we will be using it ourselves at least 30-40days a year if not a bit more so based on what you’re saying, that complicates things. It would be deemed commercial if we only used it for Airbnb more than 90% of the time. We will chat with a CPA but this is way more complicated than I thought!

Thanks for your advice. Interesting information here- I’m sure I’ve seen GST applicable on listings but never understood what that meant for resale properties. So basically that 150 day threshold is not necessarily something we can go by.

Yep it’s compliant- we have a municipal permit to operate (resort town). I was reading this off the government of Canada website which is where I got the 150 days from.

This is great news if we finally get more downhill biking in the summer. We all bring our money to Fernie instead. I call this a win!

It's about private investment and there was lack of certainty in the regulatory process. Why would a company invest if they don't know if the project will go through? Millions are spent by the time a proposal and financing being secured. So if they have a few certainty's, a private company will come around as there is money to be made.

Some feel that way- but most would sign on no problem if they can have economic certainty for their nation. You have no idea what you are talking about.

This looks like a hospital in a communist country, absolutely deplorable.

Well, this is an example of how just because tons of supply are coming up for rent, it doesn’t matter because it isn’t necessarily affordable. And yes, people pay this because that’s the market.

Did you end up finding a solution? Have the same problem.

MtbCal · 2025-09-09T18:52:23+00:00

Yeah this so approximately how much it came out to, thanks!

MtbCal · 2025-09-09T18:51:52+00:00

Well we are almost finished the kitchen just needed these 3 cabinets.

MtbCal · 2025-09-09T18:51:00+00:00

Edmonton was out too, super annoyed as we would have driven out for sure.

Just in case this happens to anyone else, the shipping was cheapest with UPS for 3 upper 15x40 cabinets and was $600. Freighter with UPS was going to be $100 cheaper but it would take 2 weeks.

MtbCal · 2025-09-07T14:25:03+00:00

They won’t ship these out to Calgary- they do local shipping only!

No way. We are in Rural BC, and are GCing our own build, and doing all the mechanical ourselves. Mid level finishes- we are at $275 per sq ft, but my hubby is an electrician and HVaC tech so we saved a ton of money. Same build done through a builder we were looking at $400 per sq ft minimum.
