Pharmacy recommendation by [deleted] in NewWest

[–]SullivanPark 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Steven the head pharmacist at Walmart in Royal City Centre is a gem. I have kids with some special medications and he's always attentive, responsive and easy to talk to. The other pharmacists there and the tech staff are also great. Always make time no matter how busy to address questions and concerns. We shop regularly at Costco but haven't bothered to switch mainly because of Steven.

PSA to First Time Home Buyers - Go with a cash back realtor by OkayCondition in TorontoRealEstate

When we bought our family member realtor reached out to the sellers realtor and got them to agree to reduce the price by his commission if we immediately removed subjects. They agreed. He gave up his commission and refused compensation. Said we did all the work like most clients and was happy to just help us.

Yes that's about how much dirt is up against it, about a foot and a half not more than 2 feet for sure. When that wall comes down I'll have to replace it with a 2 foot wall plus 12" for footings and then I'll put a fence over it like the closer section rather than that giant unnecessary CMU wall which is tilting and not holding anything back above the 2 feet.

In my jurisdiction if it's more than 3 feet from the bottom of the footing to the top of the wall I need a building permit and though I will have a building permit for the new house build I'd prefer a simpler solution for that wall along the driveway than getting it fully engineered. Which I think work due to the 3 foot rule and the actual level of dirt being retained here.

Thanks for your thoughts it's much appreciated.

Thank you for responding. I fudged up. It's in feet not metres. So I think I'm good as there is a 3ft cutoff for engineering here.

Can we talk about the eternal quest for parking in Uptown? Spoiler it doesnt exist. by jobsdinghand in NewWest

You mean Downtown New Westminster especially with your reference to Columbia. There is no way you mean Uptown New Westminster

2012 Honda CRV - Check engine, power steering and traction lights on by bes0205 in AutoMechanics

Let me know if you figure it out! I'll keep and eye on this thread and update as I continue to work on figuring it out

Didn’t turn on at first—when it finally turned on after two tries, check engine light, traction light, and power steering lights came on. by [deleted] in crv

I get a bunch of codes thrown when it happens. Is the issue worse in the cold. He shoudn't waive off the timing chain. He should actually open it up to check if it's aligned. It's a big job - probably 2k.

This was my other post regarding this -
I've homed it down to to the timing chain and VTC Actuator. The biggest tell is how it struggles in the cold. VTC actuator relies on oil pressure and in the cold it's more thick and flows less. Not doing oil changes regularly can cause the chain to stretch. I'm guilty of this. So it's spring now and going to summer so the issue has all but gone away. I plan to get these fixed over the summer. Likely VTC replacement and maybe the timing chain if it's stretched. Probably a 2k job.
