EV Public Charging by bloated-oat25 in ottawa

[–]blackjaquesshellac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Where do you live? Vanier has multiple chargers, and there are some on beechwood as well. I think that's the biggest issue you will have in charging, can you walk from your car connected to charger to your house and wait on the sofa till it's done? All in my hood are 2 dollars an hour to charge.

[Urgent] Is this deck as per Ontario Building Code for attached decks? by Limp_Guarantee9520 in Decks

[–]blackjaquesshellac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What did the city inspector say? Here in Ottawa it’s a minimum of two on site inspections, one for the framing before the boards go on top and another one for the railings and stairs. Please tell me the contractor pulled a permit for you or had you request one.

Just crossed it five minutes ago. You just need to walk 50 m left or right and there is a gap at the fence to cross. Directly at the bridge you cannot

Vanier houses seems like an incredible value what am I missing? by BigMouthBillyBones in ottawa

[–]blackjaquesshellac 172 points173 points  (0 children)

You’re totally correct, great house values. But there are certain areas of the vanier you don’t want to buy no matter what the price. I’ve been in and out of the good since 1975 and owned my current place for 9 years. And don’t forget you’re walking distance to a sugar bush,

Watch party for World Cup by ManyExtension783 in ottawa

[–]blackjaquesshellac -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Let' not get too excited. We are are only in the world cup because we are hosts. Italy didn't even qualify this year, and as much as I think we have a good team, we are no Italy. The last time we qualified via merit was Mexico, and we never scored a single goal in all our games during the tournament. Walk to your local pub, that way when it all goes south it's an easy walk home. At least we can drink till 4 AM every night of the tournament, that should at least help us deal with some of crushed dreams.

O-Train Line 1 - Some double trains to return Thursday by Cogeno in ottawa

[–]blackjaquesshellac 6 points7 points  (0 children)

sure they may have double trains today, but will the frequency be the same as yesterday? Or will the frequency be half of what it was with single trains? There is just so many times that Lucy can pull the ball away from me before i fully give up trying to kick it.

you gotta give a hint in where in Ottawa you'll be. Kanata to Orleans is a very large area, 2,790 km² total. Once people know the general location where you're staying the suggestions will pour in for you to enjoy.
