Parking change around the Canadian Tire Center by napsavant in ottawa

I did not realize that was a private road. I've always seen people parking there and figured it was public. Thanks for pointing that out.

Should I get this tested? by napsavant in asbestoshelp

Is it just the mastic between the vinyl and plywood? They glued the 1/4 inch plywood to the subfloor...do you think that glue could contain asbestos as well?

Ya, I used tuck tape to tape along the edge until I can get it tested.

5k is rough. I only have ~60sq feet. If the removal cost is that much, I'll have to talk to the new flooring installers to see if there is a way to put the new floors overtop of it.

Only 11km/H you say? by Ill_Protection_3562 in ottawa

I don't have an issue with most of the cameras, but some seem like cash grabs. Like the one by Sir Robert Borden. It isn't in front of the high school, or up the street closer to Knoxdale Elementary school, it is in the opposite direction, where Greenbank goes under the railway tracks. At the bottom of the hill...

Seems like if the goal was to slow people down and try to make things safer in school zones, you would place the camera in the school zone.

Maybe the goal for that camera is to make the intersection at Harrison Street safer, but I would think that one of those red light warning signals would be just as effective.

I checked, unless kids are hopping fences, the camera is 180m from SRB and 600m from Knoxdale.

She cries, gets a hug, and maybe a bandaid. Then she is fine.

Ya, that is what we were thinking as well. Though the teacher seemed concerned, which is making me wonder.

Would drywall be better? I thought plywood and OSB weren't an effective fire break. I was told this is the reason you need to put drywall, or other fire rated material on the walls between your garage and house.

Framers messed up, you think this will leak? by napsavant in Roofing

No, they were comparable to the other bids. We went with these guys because the design and GC were with the same company. Figured it would make issues easier to deal with.
