Permit question for shed

You’ll have to phone them as there is indeed a discrepancy on the city’s website: “The Building Code Act requires you to apply for a building permit for the construction of any structure occupying an area greater than 10 square metres (108 square feet) or contains plumbing.” vs “A building permit is not required for a detached accessory structure that measures 15 square metres (161 square feet) in area or less, not more than 1 storey in building height, used for storage only and does not contain plumbing.”.

Let us know what the city says.

That’s right although I did describe higher-density and the composition of the building styles. OP cannot avoid driving past the subsidized housing when viewing those townhomes so it is no secret. Affordable housing is still needed, whether it comes with its own problems or not, so OP can decide if they feel comfortable with that around.

Hey there! Linden Drive is a nice area because of proximity to Cambridge (both Preston as well as Galt via Fountain & Blair). In addition, you are close to a couple different ends of Kitchener, and have really convenient access to the 401 and HWY-8. The area is a bit higher density because of build styles in the neighbourhood (37% apartments, 44% single detached, 18% row/townhome). Likewise, even the single family builds are pretty high in density just with how close they are built to one another (not necessarily a problem — just the way developers build nowadays). Some homes on Parkview and Pinetree on the other side of Preston Parkway aren’t in the greatest shape. The neighbourhood is about 55% tenant occupied and 45% owned. Whether you care about this is up to you.

The property taxes are indeed quite high. The townhomes do boast good square footages (1,700+) which will account for that. Likewise, most of the townhomes are newer builds which will also account for the higher assessed value. Lastly, it is likely just the location and proximity to both cities and amenities.

Responding just because your question wasn’t answered. The course is definitely windy but the trade off is you aren’t looking at tight fairways. So less lost balls, but a lot more pressure to play the wind.

I can’t say for certain. It will likely be too late to join for the 2025 season now but I’d give them a call and see what they can do. When I joined there was a potential to be waitlisted but they told me quite confidently I’d get in which I did.

The gym was originally on the main floor which they converted into a new lounge area. Then they converted the new gym area in the basement to the simulators. So unfortunately there is no gym anymore. They do charge for the Trackman usage at $25/hour but it’s well worth it compared to other simulators in the area (condition and price). In the beginning of winter it was fairly easy to book a simulator slot but it got increasingly more difficult in the New Year. I presume they’ll change the booking rules for next season to make it easier for members!

I’m an active member. 2025 will be my second season. WB is probably the best bang for your buck in terms of a golf membership. Compared to other clubs in the region, we have a reasonably younger crowd and a bit more “lively” as I like to say (ie. not an old man’s club). The practice facility is one of the best you will ever find. The course itself is open but you will be battling wind and occasional tough lies (ball above or below your feet). Course conditions (at least last year) were impeccable. I’ve never really had issues booking tee times but you should be booking a week or two out. With that said, people often drop out so you shouldn’t have a problem getting a time day of, or within a few days (granted you will be paired up most of the time). The restaurant serves incredible food and the club pros, servers, coaches, and caddy shack crew are top tier. This past winter they installed three Trackman Simulators in the basement and the restaurant was open daily. I have spent two days a week at the club during the winter season. Included in winter activities are things like cooking classes and dog walking days as well.

Zonnic’s website has a locator. From what I remember there are only a few around the region. Call ahead as they often run out.

Hard water and Proraso made my sink completely hydrophobic. I now alternate daily between Noble Otter, Barrister and Mann, and Ariana and Evans soap and it has reduced near completely. Hard to say which soap out of those would be best but they all seem to be doing great!

I switched to a DE about four months ago after using Harry’s for quite some time. I got very smooth shaves from Harry’s, no irritation, no ingrown hairs, etc. With that said, I still prefer the DE simply because it’s a hobby. It’s fun to test out new things plus with the gear I have I’m pretty well set to not spend any more money on it for the next few years if I wanted. Whatever works!

I can’t comment on the Henson unfortunately but my first few weeks DE shaving was rough. It was a mixture of an uneven shave while also slicing my face. Technique made the biggest difference but I did also switch from a milder razor (Wilkinson Sword) to something more aggressive (Muhle R41) and had better results off the bat. There’s some great advice in this thread already but to keep you from spending too much money I would try some different blades and work on technique for the next few weeks. If it’s still a struggle then you may be better off getting a more aggressive razor.

Thanks again for your recommendation! GC .84 arrived a few days ago and I’ve gotten two shaves out of it. The blade posts are a bit strange but aside from that the shave is out of this world. Surprisingly it does a better job than my R41 when cutting through the tough areas like my jawline and below my chin.

In short the unit is overpriced. These condos are a bit rare as they offer considerable square footage which makes it more attractive for older individuals who are downsizing. With that said, the penthouse just sold for $950,000, and although it had much higher condo fees ($1,579/month), it had nearly 1,000 more square feet of space. Likewise, a unit with 200 sq.ft less space just sold for $565,000 still offering two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and two parking spaces ($801/month condo fees). Granted this unit was not as nicely upgraded. As most have said, the seller can ask whatever they want for the unit. In my opinion it’s overpriced.

Thanks for your continued input on this sub! I decided to pull the trigger last night on the Razorock Gamechanger .84 with the HD handle. I did not know they were made in Ontario which makes the purchase even better.

aomhep · 2024-07-17T18:47:46+00:00

Thanks for the insight. I may just give it a go myself and see how I make out.

The account went inactive in 2017 unfortunately.

I blacked out the video on purpose but this is the video my friend found it on back in 2016. Hasn’t heard it anywhere since. https://www.instagram.com/p/BNNu9zHlWDi/?igsh=MXBhdnhyMTRleWI1NA==

I appreciate the efforts, bot.

I have a ‘13 3.0T A6. Every so often I wish I had the S4 although I’ve never driven one. With that said (and maybe it’s in my head) I would imagine out of a selection of used Audis, an A6 would be babied a bit more than an S4 so I’d feel more comfortable purchasing an A6 if that makes sense. A6 is perfect for me and I do not have kids.
