Holy fuck I would not be standing at the edge with my phone out.

Awee, and here I was just about to secure that penthouse suite with my agent. Tut tut

Side story: The low rise apartment that was there before had caught fire and the neighbourhood rumour was that it was set by a disgruntled resident who found out they were being demovicted. Even that rumour prompted me to GTFO out of my Cottonwood Ave apartment asap in case there was a copycat in my building (we were being demovicted as well).

I didn't have tenant insurance at the time :pokerface:

Holy crap - where did that collapse occur? Is that in Burnaby?

Coquitlam

burquitlam - north and foster... there is a construction going not sure if that's in GVRD

GVRD goes up to Maple Ridge on the east, so Burquitlam is 100% part of GVRD / Metro Vancouver.

Technically speaking, I believe North Road is the boundary between Burnaby and Coquitlam, so that particular site is on the Coquitlam side.

I’m not even sure how you fix that now

Either you have to excavate a massive hole under the road and put in bearing material and redo the shoring or you drill anchors in and spray it with concrete?

Lucky no one was down in the hole

Suterbrook village in port moody had a similar thing going on, the entire road beside the retaining wall was sinking into the hole for weeks

Not sure what ended up happening with it, but theres building there now :thumbs:

Imagine being in one of those porta potties :heckno:

"god damn Carl, what did you eat for dinner last night?"

Rural area here baby... thanks all the farms around. :fuckthatshit:

Ah yea.. that helps so you’d probably just pay for the extension, but a 3ph extension down a few blocks is $$$

I had used Xometry before for some custom stuff I wanted made.

But for the shop I want to build, they aren't expensive. I'm more old school (mainly because the machines I used to play with as a kid are now... well, old school) and I like those old machines that has that "hands-on" feel to it. I mean... of course not a CNC machine. But for everything else that doesn't require computer inputs, I love getting my hands dirty when little.

These machines are not expensive for the simple reason that very few would bother with them anymore. But perfect for me.

That is such a shitty looking house inside. Especially the front entryway and the kitchen.

Everything about that place looks awkward and uncomfortable.

I am very skeptical of how functional the garage actually is. With the way the back stairs are located, if I were backing my car out from the garage, I feel like one of these times I'm gonna smack the car into the stairs somehow, esp if it was a larger / taller vehicle.

Garage functionality aside, it is a $1.7M detached home at ~1800 sq ft over 2 floors. I've been to some 1500 - 1600 sq ft townhouses spread over 3 floors, and I keep thinking this narrow house may not be that bad if you compare it against townhouses at similar or slightly lower prices.

they probably didn't upload floor plans on purpose, but this looks even narrower than the 3 story townhouses, just that it's longer.

I mean this bed is almost touching the walls

The utilities pole in the front yard really puts an emphasis on the builder NGAF.

I've seen this a few times around Vancouver. I've thought its just the builder not wanting any additional costs for running utility lines to the closest part of the structure and just hooking up to the temp pole they had during construction.

It's not a municipal thing is it? As in trying start to route utilities underground, which is dumb since 99% of it is on poles here in the Lower Mainland.

This part is unclear to me because on my block, half of the street has utility poles, while the other half (shortly a few houses after my parents) its all underground. I'm curious why it was done this way. I know for a fact that one single developer back in the early 80s built a majority of the homes on the block, which makes me wonder if this is a municipal thing or not.

townhouses are not nearly this narrow, even the ones w/ tandem garages.

A queen size mattress is 60” x 80” (roughly 1.5m x 2m). The bed frame is obviously a touch bigger than the mattress, and there appears to be a tiny bit of space between the bed frame and the wall -- maybe 3" / 10cm or so? So if I'm generous, let's say the interior is 80" + 3" + 3" = 86", or ~2.2m wide.

My old (single occupant) dorm room back in university was definitely under 2m wide -- it wasn't wide enough for having 2 twin beds side-by-side.

Hmm...

Was it rimpy selling it? Lol so she failed, should have got the Richmond bj sex realtor :lawl:
