Conclusion From the a recent EIA report: "The IEA in its World Energy Outlook 2012 is predicting that fossil fuels will dominate the energy sector through 2035 and that the United States will become the world`s largest oil producer by 2017, overtaking both Saudi Arabia and Russia. The IEA...

IF there is a noise problem , could it just be that: a) the noise transmission is a real issue and a legitimate concern for any tenant, so 3-4 month lease is going to solve anything, I feel. b) Some people are more tolerable than others I have these noise issues before, so I insulated with...

Can you go through the layers of insurance to protect the you [the public]?" Does RECA actaually compensate you, or do they just make a ruling and let you do the collections on your own and at your own expense. Kir.

Just a side point, CMHC produces a lot of research on the side as well, which has a benefit. For instance I was downloading an article on neigborhood design and how the design influences traffic or foot traffic. These sort of articles are great!! Kir.

I was able to do a renewal with a 35 year term (just did it over the lunch break at work with little difficulty). One Scotia Bank manager called me and confirmed it. Prior to this, I just spoke to a "Senior Personal Banking Officer" who renewed with payments calculated using 25 year...

Thanks, I think I will challenge this...I have about a week before the current 5 year term ends. Kir.

Has the rules for mortgage renewals change recently, where the 25 year amortization is the only option? I just did one with Scotia, and the term has to be 25 years. Previously, it was 40 years for me. I thought the amortization would be grandfathered, or stay the same. Kir.

I find this interesting and useful. Still, I would put in some clauses and if the tenant agrees, then who is going to object? IF two parties agree (landlord and tenant) to "no smoking"...then later the tenant smokes, does the landlord have to proof that smoking will cause harm and...

If you need another advice, try Advance Remediation. If you have been told there is no health issue for the basement folks, then it might just be a easy clean up job. If this is the case, I wonder why you would need the contain the air. Personally, I would get to the bottom of the water...

Can I ask who did your environment assessment? and what was the assessment? air testing , sampling, or visual? Was Alberta Health Services involved? -Usually if the sq. footage is extensive, the guidelines call for remediation and that is the most expensive option. -If you can do the...

Fort Road Appliance... One year garantee as well. Kir.

Why not just purchase a condo with no age restrictions....?

I got a second opinion from Advanced Remediation....they suggest the mold was very minor... Certainly remediation was Overkill. So...I was very happy that day... :) Kir.

There is no vermiculite...only saw dust and the pink stuff. I have been up there many times...and there is not signs of mold in the Attic, according to the remediation company. Kir.

There's no abestos, according to the samples takened. (drywall is non-containing). I will get a second opinion and gather all options, but will have comply with the environmental officer who is aware of the situation now. Kir.

According to the restoration company, they required samples to be tested for absestos before cutting into the drywall. The house was constructed in 1958. This is going to be an expensive lesson. Cash flow for this year is largely gone. Kir.

Thanks, I contacted Belfor Restoration, out of Edmonton. The insurer recomends them. K

Does anybody have any experience with mould removal? I had an inspection done recently, there is some mould on bedroom ceilings (2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom). However, the extent is unknown until they take samples. They did a thermal imaging and saw something. The work done by the...
