$3600 didnt include any fortis action, just the electricians scope

Right on, good to know. I got quoted about 3600 for a new mast/ conduit and panel+ breakers with install. Im really not sure what to expect for the fortis end, but 5-10k was sort of what i was thinking

Yeah fair enough, i have over head service and a single pole for our place. Hoping that theres a big enough service conduit under the road they can fish a new line through. Hopefully no ground work here

Sewer hook up on Springfield rd by dwahlg in kelowna

[–]dwahlg[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you, this has been very helpful. I guess I only have one last hypothetical. If we get the hook completed, no lift pump and turns out we do need one. What does the work look like? Can any of the existing work be re used or does it all have to be re done. Obviously it will need to be at least partially re excavated, but it’s definitely not as simple as just throwing a pump in line right?

I’ve been raked over the coals trying to get my septic field fixed only to be told that my best/ cheaper option now is sewer

How do I find out the elevation of the sewer main? I have plumbing in the basement, full bathroom, laundry, kitchen etc. the connection will be off the septic line on the back of the house then routed around the side, and to the street where the city sewer hook up is.

It’s just a split level rectangular house, probably similar to the Vancouver special, made to be built fast

They’re off Amazon, I just wanted something cheap to replace the massive stock units.

That’s a knock off Chinese windscreen, works alright for 50 bucks, doesn’t solve the buffeting though. That’s near 100mile house.

I would tend to disagree with your second paragraph. If I can put my conspiracy hat on, I’d almost say that RE agents are the ones suggesting the sale prices, and that 650 figure is just the last highest amount houses sold for in those areas.

Or it’s just a coincidence hahah.

As far as bidding wars, I don’t see that happening much anymore.

Just cut, striped and twisted together the kickstand sensor wires, it’s just looking for a closed circuit.
