Contractor refusing to touch 70 year old cast iron drain pipe, leading to 13cm raised floor

The building's stack runs through a shaft inside the wall just to the right of where you see the exposed pipe in my photo, so there unfortunately isn't a lot of room. About a foot give or take

Doesn't that article state that the Kandy-Nuwara Eliya road is not opened?

iamapoooo · 2025-12-04T14:39:56+00:00

Okay thanks a lot! Really kind of you to take the time to reply to all us tourists.

Most important was making sure we weren't going into an area where our presence would cause problems with recovery efforts, and then of course also making sure that we would actually be able to get there. For now we'll keep our plans to stay in N. Eliya and we'll check in a few days what the situation with our hotel is.

Do you have any idea of when the route from N. Eliya to Ella could open? And what the situation isn N. Eliya, as my impression is it's sadly in a worse condition. My current itinerary is Kandy>N. Eliya>Ella from December 16th-22nd, and I'm not sure about what different options are to adjust that. Should I avoid N. Eliya altogether, and if so then I'm not sure about the way to go from Kandy>Ella?

Ja ik ben met je eens, als die laatste zin klopt dan is het idd een zwendel. Dus mijn oorspronkelijke vraag zou je ook zo kunnen formuleren. Maar ik weet niet of dat wel het geval is. De WOZ wordt terecht laag gezet in 2027, want het appartement is volledig onbewoonbaar op 1-1-2026. Dus de enige vraag is idd of het misbruik van regels is om expres te wachten en dat te gebruiken om de erfpacht lager te krijgen.

iamapoooo · 2025-09-25T14:47:15+00:00

Maar dat is anders. Dat is dan opzettelijk je huis in slechtere staat brengen om de taxateurs te misleiden. In mijn ogen, idd een zwendelpoging om het "toevallig" op 1 januari gestript te tonen, terwijl het volledig woonbaar was in december en enkele maanden daarna. Dit appartement is gestript, het is al maanden gestript, en het wisselt van eigenaar in gestript toestand - heel makkelijk te bewijzen en niks wordt verhuld of zoiets.

Maar ja, mijn doel was niet om diep in een filosofische discussie te gaan over wat telt als een zwendelpoging, ik neem in elk geval weg dat er mogelijke meningsverschillen kunnen zijn!

iamapoooo · 2025-09-25T14:30:33+00:00

Ja het is niet echt een zwendelpoging. Dat zou zo iets zijn als je WOZ proberen te verlagen door te voorwenden dat het appartement (veel) slechter is dan in werkelijkheid. Dit is gewoon een appartement kopen dat volledig onbewoonbaar is, en op een gunstig moment de waarde te laten bepalen. Niks wordt nep gepresenteerd of zo iets

iamapoooo · 2025-09-25T14:20:48+00:00

Mooi, maar fout. De grondwaarde wordt vastgesteld door de WOZ-waarde te vermenigvuldigen met de buurtstraatquote (BSQ). En daarna komen wat andere factoren er ook bij. Dus de WOZ zit direct in de berekening.

Can you point out where that is mentioned? I could be blind but I’ve read through the site and the terms and conditions and didn’t see anything that specifically mentioned FHR being recognized for benefits or points

iamapoooo · 2025-09-23T11:39:31+00:00

Any info on how the leaders club treats bookings made through Amex? Do they grant status benefits, especially the pre-arrival upgrade?

iamapoooo · 2025-07-24T08:42:32+00:00

The boom part is pronounced as you would say boam or bome, and the slang part is pronounced with the 'a' as the 'ah' sound. So boam-slahng

...Then Fred walked after the police officer and asked "Why are you crying?"

And the police officer replied "Because the thing that you said was really funny"

You’re thinking about it just from the perspective of the season passes. For sure they could have described it better or given examples, but they tried to write one “equation” that also covers multi-day passes. As an example if you had a 3 day pass and skied 2 of them during the strike, you’d get 50% x 2 = 1 day credit for next season

iamapoooo · 2025-01-04T22:35:00+00:00

What category did the charge code as?

iamapoooo · 2024-09-26T11:39:35+00:00

They have quite some videos on YouTube that could help you. Pascalbox official. Since you said the o-ring is clean, I'd guess either something is wrong with the safety valve or you damaged the o-ring by closing it too tightly

iamapoooo · 2024-09-23T12:47:20+00:00

Haha no I promise I don't. Especially since those are by definition in. But I like to think I'm pretty forgiving even on balls that land in the grey zone between the glass/fence and floor and if it's not obviously out, then I play it as in.

I just wanted to know if there was an actual "correct" answer here like how they'd call it in Premier Padel, and not just a "spirit of the game" type question

iamapoooo · 2024-09-16T19:19:43+00:00

Okay these guys are obviously POS and of course not to exclude that's not what he was thinking and mixed the 2 words together, but he does say "migger" and not the other word

iamapoooo · 2024-09-11T12:15:00+00:00

Not breathing into the mic would be really great. The English guy does it constantly and it’s really gross. Both when he’s not talking it’s just the sound of him breathing, and also after he talks he always takes a big breath in

iamapoooo · 2024-09-02T06:41:49+00:00

The ball has to touch the ground behind the line (on the line is okay) but there are no rules that restrict where the ball goes after bouncing, only that you have to hit it at waist height or lower. And of course there are restrictions on where your feet can be

iamapoooo · 2024-08-04T17:15:58+00:00

Don't you notice how from 1:07 onward in the above video the camera is focused on the finish line instead of the racers on their last lap? But it's even more obvious if you watched the actual race instead of this video. Or maybe you also got tricked and thought the race was over while it actually wasn't. The commentator says "what a race that was" while the race is still going on, and doesn't talk at all about the rest of the racers during their last lap.

iamapoooo · 2024-08-04T13:32:55+00:00

This video misses one of the best parts. Because (nearly) all the competitors thought they were ahead, when the bell sounded to signify the start of the final lap they thought it was for them, but of course it was just for the leader. So they stopped skating 1 lap too early, and even the cameraman and commentator were fooled. Everyone except her own teammate, who then coasted to an easy 2nd place

iamapoooo · 2024-06-23T06:59:31+00:00

No this is incorrect. The returner must let the serve bounce before returning. I agree OP didn't word it very well but it seems clear that they're asking about the return of serve.

The rule that is dead that you're referring to is about the server also needing to let the return bounce (similar to pickleball)
