In North Vancouver it is quite common for houses (including brand new builds) to have a separate septic system for unauthorized basement suites, which I find silly and maddening - everyone knows the suites are there, why bother with pretending and running an additional system?

It's aluminum. It's zero maintenance and lasts forever. I actually hate the look of wood railings, especially after a couple years when they become weathered. Worst of all, I hate painting.Originally posted by Oerdin View Post
There will be zero exposed wood on the house when it's complete.
BTW, wood railings are cheaper...and IMO they look cheaper."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Propane tank? Check. Septic tank? Check. Waiting for someone from the suburbs to tell me they have their own well. And a diesel power generator.Graffiti in a public toilet

Why would you need a propane line to your house? Ever?
Natural gas >>>> Propane
I don't use propane for a single thing."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Maybe it's because I live in the middle of nowhere and only get electricity from town. I have to use propane.Originally posted by Asher View PostI have more issues than Marvel Comics and more problems than a math text book.Comment

Basement suites are illegal in many cities. Calgary just very recently legalized them, and only in certain areas. They need to be zoned.Originally posted by Hauldren Collider View Post"The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Ah. We just hook it up to a 20 lb propane tank and get the tank refilled every now and then.Originally posted by Asher View PostIt's hooked up directly to a natural gas line.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

You're definitely the wrong kind of gay. I'm going to have sex with my wife in 15 minutes, but even I can see that aluminum railings look cheap if the house is not from the Googie times. Weathered hardwood railings, especially with a proper finish like varnish, not paint, look 10 times better. You can't put varnished wood railings on your house because it's covered in vinyl siding, of course, but painted wood is still better than aluminum.Originally posted by Asher View PostIt's aluminum.

I agree, wood looks better. But to each his own. If Asher likes it better, it's his house, and it looks like a pretty nice house to me.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

Definitely not.
Russian aesthetics.
The cheap houses all have wood railings in the slummy neighbourhoods. That's not how I roll."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

I'd also have to downgrade to a wood deck if I were to get the wood railings.
I don't care what kind of varnish you claim to use -- you're re-doing it in 5 years and replacing that deck entirely within 15."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
