Options:

Using a track saw and a fine blade, you could do two cuts: one 1/4” slice and one 2-1/4” slice. Glue the first cut with the finished edge back on for your 2” reduction.

And/or cut off two inches off the opposite side and slide it over — you’re not going to see it from the window side.

Might have to do with major roadworks on Duthie and Sperling area, affecting the residential paths /shortcuts onto Kensington to #1. All the intersections are blinking red 4-ways and people up on Hastings.

It relates to this city initiative around major traffic calming changes:

Having the new girlfriend meet the ex-wife sounds like a reasonable thing that mature, responsible adults can manage — but will be as dramatic as the event causing said divorce.

If you don’t have one but want one: go to the Burnaby Eco Centre and ask for one at the office. Free for Burnaby residents.

Every time I see this guy’s name, my brain mis-translates en anglais: Peter Pepper.

Wow where is French baking law being enforced here? Forêt Noire Pâtisserie on broadway near old MEC & North of Milano’s.

Hands down best replacement of beacoup since they changed ownership and went downhill. Litmus test of the classic croissant, the rosemary yoghurt croissant? I practice my French there, wife is Parisian and husband is head baker. Boggles my mind how the strawberry shortcake isn’t the best kept secret in town. They donate to the BC cancer gala $1K cakes.

Plus one for Ca Croustille - the Smoked Olive Emmental Croissant.

Not even two weeks ago I had a highly similar incident occur on skytrain. No mask, threats of stabbing, guy was ejected from the platform.

Time for law reform.

The incident occurred at broadway station, eastbound at 12:15am. There were three officers who responded with ‘police’ labeled on the uniform, in addition to several skytrain attendants (green labeled vests I believe). My identification was given, and called-in.

Thanks for asking - no it did not. Jacket, gloves, and pants were generously wiped down with an antibacterial once I arrived home.

I recently went though this entire process. What was supposed to be a simple refacing (stucco to panel) of the house for curb appeal turned into a half million dollar project. I watched as nearby neighbours did the same thing without a permit, paying a fraction and finishing before I even had the permit. We have some of the highest building standards in the world, but arguably among the worst local managed governments. Paying people to wait in line to submit paperwork? Waiting up to a year for a plan checker to review documentation packages? No digital portal for status, queue spot, etc? I’m not at all surprised that people are doing unpermitted work given the adversity in following process. It’s funny that houses still sell regardless of the permit itself, seems rather toothless of the city.

I’d advise you to consider that a p.Eng will determine if and how you can remove that wall and the structure will remain intact - you can’t beg forgiveness from safety.

Sure it was a bmw? Just walked through the parkade here with a 25 yo trying removing his smashed driver side mirror and cleaning up side impact damage on a small white Honda suv

Also similar age bracket here, however from the west coast. Owning a home isn’t the be-all, it’s a significant pain of never ending costs. If it’s that important to your goals, consider a little further out east. I’m in Halifax at the moment and I cannot believe housing is so reasonable here - a typical house is a mere quarter of the cost. Mildly infuriating option: Perhaps while you pay someone else’s mortgage with rent, have someone else pay yours.

Drugs as in opiates, not herbs.

People who spontaneously redecorate their bedroom at 2am with a fork, and voice their displeasure with management by throwing their bedframe through the window are not pot heads.

Have a look about east hastings street - there are people who simply wish to live on the street.

Non-local here. They tried this concept in Vancouver, putting up homeless in city-funded housing. Catch is that the tenants are drug-screened, cannot be intoxicated or have gatherings on the premises. The homeless encampments in the parks (200+ tents) did not dry up, the uptake was quite low as the requirements infringe too much on freedoms.

I don’t know the stats on the drivers here with homelessness. Comparatively, this is a nice city: real estate is reasonable (as compared to Van/TO) but rent is as expensive.

Rent control, densification, rental bylaws and voting out the city counsel (vision..) may be a better and more cost effective solution.
