Some bathroom floor progress.... blocking and then plumbing is next.

And that might be a possible outcome for the people in the article. Hail Mary and maybe the developer drops the contract price enough to let them close to just get it off the books and to move on. Unless the developer is cash strapped I doubt it but as I said, they may look stupid, unless it...

Another co-worker the unit was fine but the original building plans had 20 foot ceilings in the lobby and a waterfall, 10 foot and no waterfall was built (same thing zoning, building height...). He got them to upgrade the appliances and coutertops...

From the builder building short it does happen... I can't remember the minutiae of the situation but years ago when the market was smoking hot a former co-worker bought a townhouse per-construction. years later the townhouse that got built was not exactly as contracted due to zoning. Nine foot...

There is a reason the contract price is the price. If this was 5 years ago (upward market) the appraised price is likely much higher than the contract price and they would scream bloody murder if the developer could raise the price at closing to take a win on increased prices. In this case the...

I was doing some research today and evidently, scientists now know the origin of the asteroid that collided with earth 66 million years ago putting into motion the climate change and associated global devastation that eventually caused the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event that killed off...

Two ways to look at that, paying six or seven figures in income tax really sucks....but it is also a good problem to have (making enough to have to pay that much).

DCs/connection fees were the cost of doing business when condo sale prices were high and building costs were lower. Sure they whined about them but it did not stop them from building. The economics have changed now plus all the fantasy of magical affordable housing ... at the same time cities...

If one wheel is off the ground (or on ice) and spinning (open dif) apply some brakes to get some power to go to the other wheel (assuming it is not in the same situation and has some traction). Modern traction control should do the same thing just more fancy but not always as good when stuck.

When booking flights always clear cookies constantly when looking at rates, visiting the same site over and over. Some sites will keep jacking up the costs as you keep searching them. Clear cookies and you are back to the lower rates. We have seen this many times, you are looking for flights and...

As for using gig workers and flex. Canada Post delivers government documents, etc. are there any hurdles giving this to fly by night gig-workers? Regular couriers I could see being fine, but wildwest gig-workers??? Maybe a non-issue or at least something that needs to be worked out.

Well it could be worse, we had a guy at work that would break out his "golden screwdriver" and tweak some RF equipment at the end of his shift on Friday when he was on-call for the weekend. It would take a few hours for the complaints to build and then he would get called out (same min four...

Most planes do not have enough overhead bin capacity to have a spot for every seat, unless they dramatically reduce overhead bin luggage size. It will also be worse on the airlines that reduce seating pitch to get more cattle on.

When I come across the only fit sideways oversized carry on bags I just turn them the right way and put mine beside it. The overhead bin won't close now so it forces the flight attendant and owner to deal with it before departure. **** Personally I hate flying these days. I had a women behind me...

China is a the world leader in renewable and clean energy. While we may not agree with our local approach I will never understand why anyone would want China to just own this... Yes they also still generate A LOT of dirty electricity but they understand that it is not sustainable in the long run...

For near no noise and fast, breaker bar and then a battery drill to remove the lug muts. All the noise will be rim removal...

We have a mail slot in our front door. We got a note from Canada Post that the slot was 2 inches too low and they were going to stop delivery until we fixed it so we ended up installing a mailbox on the wall (I wasn't going to butcher the 80 year old wood front door to raise the slot). To be...

I revived our 16 year old Weber BBQ on the weekend (propane). The crossover tube rotted out and some of the flavour bars were rotted out. Weber does not sell just the xover bar--only a full burner set and I figured the burners only had a couple of years left so I went with replacement Weber...

When I had a Jeep (YJ) I would take it mudding and then spread some mud on the plate during the NDP photo radar days... I did get pulled over by the OPP, he walked up with a rag and wiped off the mud on the plate and sent me on my way, did not even come to the window.

Super boxes are all fine and dandy until they put it on your front or side yard... When that happens to you I imagine everyone becomes a whiner.
