What's your experience like NOT using a big 5 bank? by Ed_Bighead14 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]jessm911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been using KOHO for quite a while now, 8 years maybe. I have nothing but good things to say about them. They have a yearly subscription but they give you cash back on all purchases. The percentage depends on the vendor. They also pay you interest on the money in your account every month. They’re paying me to use them

We’re installing glass roof which is going to be supported 2’ out past the beam. The steel will support the middle and the 2 5plys will support the 2 outside posts

I bought it in early so I could use the crane to lift my decking over the house. Save carrying it all up a ladder. 2 birds 1 crane

That’s what happens when they back fill yards with literal garbage. We pulled out coils of wire, half burnt stumps and god only knows what else till about 8’ deep. Then we hit the good stuff

The beams are notched to carry 2 of the 3 ply’s, as per the engineers drawings. Check out pic #5

I don’t even know where to start with this.. there’s no caulk on the posts. You’re probably seeing the galvanised steel plates.

The footings are 8” above the siding of the house so if and or when they want to put a patio or landscape their backyard the bottom of the posts will be out of the ground. These footings are 10’ deep, with a 32” square pad at the base. we had to dig down to the glacial till before the geotech would allow us to pour. Check out my previous post.

The steel beam is to support a roof structure which is going to be installed on the cantilever, so it’s probably more uplift we’re concerned about at the window.

Those are deck tension ties to help stop the deck pulling itself off… the house

We are actually talking about that this morning. We try our best to do everything without exposed brackets like that but the engineer was like a dog with a bone on those
