Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
Being beach-free, I would think so. We were travelling through there about 18 months ago, OH put on her best SatNav accent and said "You are now entering Belgium" "You are now entering the Netherlands" "You are now entering Belgium" "You are now entering the Netherlands". I thought that she was just in dire need of a beer, but then she explained the enclave thing.

A bit of a brain drain in Vancouver as professionals choose to leave the city.
One thing professionals have that us non-professionals lack is mobility.

Gulls can be quite vicious I believe, keep the duck safe. At least don't let it wander free eating chips or ice cream.

One of many reasons I hate apartment/multi-family housing.
Inspections of some sort that require you to be home all day wasting an entire day and having to rearrange plans since we don't have family or friends who could come over and sit in the apartment all day to wait which is the strata's suggestion.

They are required to give you a date and TIME
- the date and the time of the entry, which must be between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. unless the tenant otherwise agrees

The strata gave times but there are 3 different inspections on the same day requiring entry.
Pest inspection as some units have reported having ants 9am to 1p
Fire alarm inspection 9am to 5p
dryer duct cleaning 2pm to 5pm
It's also not the landlord doing these its the strata of the building.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
I just give our building manager the key and he lets them in. Sure he probably rifles through HID's knicker draw but that's a small price to pay for not having to wait around all day long.

The woman I was showing the apartment to wasn't particularly impressed.

I'd be suggesting to HID that she hides a rat trap among her knickers.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
We don't live in a fancy enough building to have an onsite building manager. There is a management company the strata has to run things, but they are offsite and never come during these sorts of things, if not home to open the door, they issue a fine to the unit.
