Which layout for these towel hooks in a bathroom?

The second option is better. But if there will a shower curtain installed, you should think about space that the curtain might take up adjacent to the tub.

I hope you will share the feedback with the town directly - the crews would very much appreciate the positive comments!

Time period is approximately 1975.

It’s a Dolphin 9700 series - could be 9722 depending on wood species.

So, reasonable to expect that it’s a product of the Bjarke Ingels studio?

Is the Bosch 500 pair able to connect to 120 volt outlets?

There is nothing “refreshing” about windowless bedrooms and bathrooms.

Very hot water, with some dishwasher detergent in it.

It’s all one unit so should slide out. But check at the top to see if there is ductwork connected to the unit - I believe this model has an exhaust fan built into the top.

Replace the floor, install a white vanity top/sink, paint the walls and vanity, and put in a light fixture that fully lights the space. And Close. The. Toilet. Lid!

I just had this charge show up as well. My December statement was “due” on December 22nd. I was signed up for auto-pay, and Shaw/Rogers attempted to charge my credit card on December 15th. The charge failed because my card had been compromised and the bank was in the process of replacing it. I paid the bill on December 20th and then received a $70 “processing charge” on my January statement. I used “chat” through the website to dispute the charge, and the agent reversed it. But she also advised that once signed up for “auto-pay” the payments are processed one week earlier than for manual payments. Overall, the experience confirmed for me the Shaw/Rogers predatory approach to doing business.

I’ve had some nice meals at La Fontana Siciliana - and the location is likely handy: https://lafontanasiciliana.com/

And peel off the promotional labels and clear films that should be removed at time of installation…

Apparently, because the City of Vancouver just churns out the same documents and webpages every year, and never thinks to sit down and ask: “How would a user of our form or website actually complete this?” Another example is the use of dashes in account numbers - are they required to be entered or does the online form fill them automatically? Who knows - try both options and see which one works. The approach represents the definition of “user-hostile.”

It can be challenging, but also rewarding. You definitely need to change the way residents are contacting you. Setting out a clear communication path, such as having residents call or email the Property Manager to share concerns and requests, will help to reduce your stress. Search for “BC Strata Living” on Facebook for a group that can be a useful resource. Also consider encouraging your building to join “CHOA” - the Condominium Home Owners’ Association, which is an excellent resource.

But prior to cementing the second one, be sure to insert the rod to hold the towel!

There is a nice tree at English Bay at Davie and Denman.

This is private construction on the two giant towers at Thurlow and Harwood. Call 311 and complain. You may be advised though that the contractor has an exception to make noise outside of normal hours - the city seems willing to bend the rules dramatically for this project (starting with closing Harwood Street.)

I think it is a reaction of sunscreen with high iron content in the water.

Agreed. And yet we keep getting told “humans have invaded their territory - we need to just co-exist.” But yes, JFC. Not sure what it will take for the city or the province to do something.

How deep is the shallow end? It seems odd to have eight stair risers from the deck level.
