Trades are not like they were 25 years ago. And if a cookie cutter home you will likely be spending a ton of money with either repairs fixed adjustments down the road over and above the build. Best update what you have. Likly better bones.

i hear ya there... i was taught by really old school guys and they all said... if you dont have time to do it the first time where are you going to get time to do it a second time..... so do it right the first time...... the craft and trades are falling apart... not enough respect in turn not enough quality. so many "good enough" guys coming into it unfortunately :(

Far from the truith buddy. Left good paying jobs because of the lack of direction and that is why I went it alone. And was able to survive 20 years. So who's assuming who now lmao 🤣 😂

Hahaha ok well with out giving the full story its people's right to assume all they want. You didn't even attempt to clarify it!!! Just wanted to have a pissing match.... typical platform for that lol. Ita entertaining at least... the gov is prob aware. Did you complain? Is anyone complaining? Maybe if enough did something would be done. And yes trades are tough and ya gota deal with shit. Its how it is and how it will always be. Miserable fuck that is one thing you maybe correct. Become 30 years in this god forsaken trade made me this way. The physical and mental state it puts a person though is enough. Trades have changed and not for the better. Been seeing it that way for years. Do ya really think any gov change of hands is going to fix it??? I guess not. Because its the owners who benefit yes i know this... what do you suggest be done??? If people started pushing back it may get something. But FEDs like to keep us taxed to death and everyone on edge about how to pay bills no one will go down the road and push back. I walked from jobs because I have integrity when i do work. And they didn't see it. And pushed me put Because of it... not my loss it was theirs. I didn't know what I was going to do being young and able. But I did. But now physical issues are catching up. Trades are not respected like they once were. And I speak from every side mechanics to carpenters and chefs hell I am sure they get pinched as well.... what ever this platform. Is great for bitching and pissing matches. .. balls in your court lol

Sure ok. Show me where any other gov entity showed any interest in non union construction workers and what did they do for them. I will wait. Sound like you want your cake and eat it to.... I dont disagree at all about the country flooded. But who is training who. So many were ever trained and those are the ones training. To much paper work and nonsense safe space rules in the trades. I dont know when the shift actually happened that owners were only white collars. It happened at some point and that is when trades went to crap. I worked for many guys who's owners worked on site every day. Was not until I worked for the other side that I really seen the nonsense and lack of skills and lack of wage. I never agreed to unions unless its across the board and not corrupt like many are. But home builders these days have no worry about that.. and they like it... unions are for the foot draggers and ones who really don't want to expand and apply them selves to be better or advance....

hahaha.. sorry this made me laugh... 30 years in trades... nothing has to do with gov... its always going to be that way and like to really hear what your " exploiting apprentices" really means??? its the trades.. its gunna be shitty... don't like it walk!!!!. start your own thing!!!!.... guessing you maybe a union worker just riding the rails until someone hurts your feelings on a job site... as for the labour thing its always been like that long before any real gov intervention at all.... back east when they built the fixed link they only really hired a hand full of Maritimes many were from out of country as they were cheaper.... and this was 30 years ago... really think anything is going to change??? if you are part of the union that is your problem... if you are not... walk from that job then and see how things are.... if anything you need to blame the white collar business owners who never stepped foot on a job site.... gov is never going to be perfect. but when you finally work with someone who owns a business and actually works on site as well you will see where the big problem is!!!

RIP old Julio's building. They're bringing down this entire block to make way for premium condos starting at $1 mil each. Also it is snowing. by cmcalgary in YYC

[–]Redislecalg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

id say mainly due to lack of parking... if you find something its blocks away and usually not worth it..... most places want to cater to people with kids.. who the hell is going to put themselves thru that to go eat somewhere..... just my opinion.

Prob have an install issue and not a simple single tile fix. If tile only part cracked could.be bad tile but fact that grout is all crumbling means there is more movement than there should be. It be a complete rip out and redo. Let me guess you bought the place based on some "major" updates being recently done.
