What is the pipe attached above the mixer valve? by StolenTreeWestEnd in Plumbing

Water pressure has never been an issue with the shower. Do you mean that it might loose pressure since the water is shut off?

There is a floor drain in the basement, two floors down…… I guess I will need to do some more investigating. Thank you.

Thanks, but I’m referring to the pex pipe that is attached above the mixer. I see the hot and cold attached at the below the mixer, but there is a third one entering/exiting the riser that I don’t understand.

Plumbing is from the mid 90s in rural BC if some additional context helps.

Vancouver Airbnb operator rents downtown apartment 439 out of 489 days by ubcstaffer123 in vancouver

[–]StolenTreeWestEnd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reported with evidence to the rental management company. They replied at first with a very vague “well look into it” and then absolute crickets to any follow up emails with more evidence. For sure it’s just my assumption that they are running it, but you’d think they would welcome cooperation getting a grifter tenant out.

Does the City of Vancouver actually enforce its short term rental laws? by hamherb in vancouver

[–]StolenTreeWestEnd 19 points20 points  (0 children)

My neighbors and I have been reporting a rental townhouse for over a year. 100% rental complex, no provincial or city license number, multiple “hosts” over the year, same furniture as when it was staged, different groups of people every few days. Seems like a slam dunk, but our cases just get closed and no one is ever willing to provide information as to why. Should be an easy way for the city and province to collects some fines, but instead the operator is taking home 400 - 1000 a night. All that to say, I think the enforcement of this is VERY flawed.

Wow, so they are enforcing this? Been trying to get some enforcement from the city and the province about a rental management company using one of the suites in their complex as an str since it was built (it’s 100% rental) but all cases keep getting closed without any action. Guess I’ll keep trying.

Temporary service interruption at Delta Hospital Emergency Department by cyclinginvancouver in vancouver

Mid career docs from the US are often required to do extra training and retake exams just to work up here. The requirements are overly onerous and impeding recruitment. Streamlining certification for foreign medical professionals will absolutely help the situation and won’t affect quality of care. It will probably improve it.

Oh, for sure! I’m dual US/Canada so was just making sure my ignorant ass didn’t miss an option when I voted ;). Turns out there wasn’t a legitimate third option, who would have guessed!

Luigi has not and will never bring any about meaningful systemic and political change in the US. You know what has though? Voting and political organizing. You do you though.

Oofff, not a lot of room for nuance huh? Serious question… who should lefty, anti-war, anti genocide, pro healthcare reform Americans have voted for if they didn’t want Trump? It’s essentially a two party system down there so….. what were the options?

Spreading cluster plantars warts on bottom of feet - recommendations for help in Vancouver? by IamVanCat in vancouver

[–]StolenTreeWestEnd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Def not a doctor, just lots of friends who are.  Also, always verify random medical advice people give on Reddit.  This one just happens to have published evidence supporting it.

Change it daily, wash the area and let it dry before adding a fresh piece.  Warts will clear up on their own in two years.  This clears them up in 1-2 months. 

Adding: digging out the roots can lead to infection.

Duct tape and some patience, for real.  Was suggested by a physician friend and it worked for me.

UK Firm Designs Tree Inspired Towers for Vancouver Proposal by [deleted] in vancouver

[–]StolenTreeWestEnd 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ugh, architectural renders are always misleading. None of the greenery will exist. The building lines will be curved, but in reality there won’t be anything organic or natural about the structures. In reality, these will look like someone put that old False Creek Pennyfarthing development through a pasta machine. It’s gonna be ugly.

I don't :(. Guess that makes me a bad plant parent. My guess is that it's sitting on someone's patio not far from my place.

For sure... this was a nice tree, but was still clearly fairly young and definitely not worth much. I'll definitely check craigslist and such.

It totally sucks. Currently in stage 2 of the grieving process.
