I’m so tired of being embarrassed by my province (born and raised here…left twice…came back twice). I’d be a VERY generous definition of what a youth is, but like the article states, I am also currently planning my escape. Decisions like the mishandling of our fifa application are a small...

Didn’t realize there is going to be a big courtyard(?) space on the back part of the building from second floor up.

Close to topping out.

I think the main reason it looks different from the rendering is because the balconies stick out from the main structure. You can see the piles which will probably be the support for the balconies. I couldn’t figure out what those were for at first…

Oops, I posted the wrong photo lol. This one shows more.

…reminder what was here …

Can’t remember if this one has a thread… I remember someone here mentioning instep physiotherapy, which is what the little sign says on the window. Decent little building for 107 Avenue. 107th is still pretty affordable and close to Grant McEwan, so maybe one day will have a similar vibe here to...

I hate going for walks in the winter, but this gave me an excuse to take my poor dogs for a walk for the first time in a while lol.

No rumours yet about where Jamaica game in March will be? I wanna go…

Original plan was to move into the garage and Airbnb the main house, but it looks like we will be leaving Canada part time. So we will just rent the main house long term rather than Airbnb, and have the garage as our Canada home base. Queen Mary Park. When we went to builders they were telling...

I didn’t want to post until we were done, but it’s taking much longer than expected lol. Here’s our tiny contribution to Edmonton infill :)

Most of the things I was reading about compensating neighbouring properties (specifically for right to light) seem to be out of the UK. I guess there’s not really an equivalent in Alberta. It is a super tricky situation. If the majority of people see value in preserving the feel of a...

I‘m a big fan of infill, but I think I’d be a little pissed if someone put up a 6 story building to the south of me. Sucks enough here in the winter, and having your sun blocked on top of that…I feel for those homeowners as this probably felt like it came out of nowhere considering it’s...

It was a crap article, but the budget is also just confusing in general for how much it is changing. The 153mil should be the total cost of a new rec centre including existing pool and new velodrome, new running track, new fitness centre, and new daycare.

Didnt realize people dance at the symphony… think a conductor would have been better lol

The problem is that my university professor was Brazilian, and Duolingo is Brazilian Portuguese. So whenever I’m in Portugal everyone is so confused why I have a Brazilian accent lol. So talking to you would reinforce that Brazilian accent lol! Also, My parents are from two different regions...

As someone that would love to be able to practise my Portuguese, that is the most frustrating part of Portugal! Everyone speaks perfect English and the second they hear my crappy Portuguese accent they automatically switch to English lol. And as for the dinner time, we would often go out to eat...

ECSB move?

I want to see the other islands so bad! But I’m not in love with the idea of taking the prop planes to go see them lol. Might wait til I have enough time to go by ferry. edit: btw there’s an episode of Anthony Bourdain “no reservation” where he visits Horta/Faial
