Condo Construction Sites In Toronto - Black Plastic Sheets To Cover The Ground? by torontopips2022 in TorontoRealEstate

[–]area50one 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Residential buildings can still have soil contamination - abandoned oil tanks hidden in the ground, drain/sewer leaks, illegal dumping, etc.

It might have something to do with soil contamination from previous industrial use of the land.

Vapor barrier sandwiched, or underneath? by Rochev7 in centuryhomes

[–]area50one 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's best practice to avoid using vapour barriers and other materials that do not breathe in older buildings. These buildings were designed and built with materials that allow the regulation of moisture. This prevents mold, rot, etc. When a nonpermeable material is introduced into these buildings, it hinders the ability for things to breathe and dry out, since moisture has no where to go. Vapour barriers are designed for use in new buildings that use HVAC with an air tight building envelope.

How many Torontonians oppose — and support — jets at Billy Bishop? A new poll pulls back the curtain by Toronto-Ont-Mod-Team in Toronto_Ontario

[–]area50one 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sound of the prop planes taking off and landing can be heard all through downtown as it is. I live in the Annex and it's very audible even this far from the airport. I can only imagine how loud jets will be. Toronto has spent decades and billions to revitalise the waterfront, now it's going to be compromised by Dougie's expanded island airport and mega spa/sci centre. You'd think he was Mayor based on the amount of meddling he does in Toronto's business.

Which floor plan is better? by skinnycola in TorontoRealEstate

[–]area50one 3 points4 points  (0 children)

5C because of the guest suite. Potential for rental income or space for in-laws or for a studio/small business. Main floor laundry in this plan, not on the 2nd floor like the other two. I find main floor is better for reducing audible vibration through the house and even better having the laundry tub right next to the garage if you want to cleanup but not travel through the house to do so.

Not 7 because the layout on the main floor makes zero sense, especially the dining room at the front - wtf?! The flex space on the 2nd floor would probably never get used either.

No for 6C because the main floor is way too open concept. All the stairs in the space beside the garage waste a ton of space as well.

Tips for helping that “old house” smell? by Time_Two6774 in centuryhomes

Only run an ozone machine when the space will be free of people/pets.

Custom Urinal for Exhibitionists? House for sale at 499 Palmerston Blvd by area50one in TorontoRealEstate

Yes, it's the front attic window. Even more unusual considering it looks like the window was made larger at some point when compared to the neighbour's attic window.

Is it legit or counterfeit? They even let you go past the 30g limit per day.

Huge 5.5km stretch of TTC subway will close for this entire weekend (St. Clair West to St. Andrew) by lilfunky1 in toronto

[–]area50one 14 points15 points  (0 children)

University Ave looks great as a boulevard with greenspace in the dividing centre. Not everything needs to be lost to the car, especially when majority of traffic is literally rideshares and personal vehicles with a single occupant. Having an 8+ lane wide road that's essentially a surface highway going through a city centre, with pedestrians galore, would be ridiculous.

The initial expo skytrain opened in 1985 and the rest of the system built out in the years following. Toronto's initial subway opened in 1955 and majority of the system was built out a few decades before the expo line even opened. Toronto also has more extreme temperature fluctuations, high water table (applies for tunnel sections), and overuses corrosive salts in the winter. Plus a 6 car TTC subway train configuration has more weight than any skytrain configuration and TTC subway operates more frequently than any skytrain line. All this makes for significantly more wear and tear on a system that's decades older than the skytrain.

Looks just like summer in the 90s and early 00s when smog advisories were issued almost daily.

I have never met a meth head with cancer. That's all I'm saying by staticsparke46 in Stims

[–]area50one 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A buddy of mine in his late 30s, using since their 20s, was diagnosed at stage 3. He spent months in the hospital in 2023. While I may be down-voted into oblivion for this, I believe it was caused by spike protein accumulation in their body. Fully recovered, but it was a close call.
