Where am I allowed to spray primer?

Moved here revently, and I should've asked before Halloween, but I was still designing things, Irrelevant, doesn't matter. Anyway, where am I allowed to spray eva foam with primer and dry it? I think I'm at a strata right now so I don't think I can stink up the parking garage, and that stuff takes hours and will never dry during the constant rainfall here.

Very loud renovation noise from the condo-unit above mine (Need suggestions)

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for your advice on a situation I'm currently facing.

Our entire building is managed by a single property management company, and recently, extensive renovation work has begun in the unit directly above mine. Unfortunately, I received no prior notice about this work, and the noise has been incredibly disruptive. As someone who works from home, the sound is so loud that itā€™s nearly impossible for me to attend meetings or make callsā€”it's like someone is constantly playing drums overhead.

The renovations started this past Monday, and I initially thought it would only last a few hours. However, I've now been informed that the work will continue for the entire week.

When I raised my concerns with the property manager and provided video evidence, they acknowledged the situation but stated that the renovations are necessary for building improvements. Their suggestion for me to work from the lobby was, frankly, not helpful. I also inquired about compensation for the inconvenience, but they dismissed my concerns by saying that "How money is going to solve your problem?".

Iā€™d appreciate any advice on my options. Should I consider going to the Residential Tenancy Branch (RTB)? If so, what kind of compensation would be reasonable in this situation?

Thanks for your help!

Loose leaf collection

Hi, I can't find the leaf collection schedule for maple ridge online, is there any schedule to collect leaf on the road or the resident needs to clean it up by ourselves?

Cottonwood/Kanaka Creek neighbourhood, whats the deal?

About to put in an offer on a TH in the Kanaka Creek area, and just doing a bit of due diligence on our potential new community.

Overall, the access to nearby trails and nature are a big draw, we're currently in Willoughby, Langley, and the concrete jungle-ness of the area can be pretty depressing.

Not too concerned with the quality of the schools as our child is still a baby.

I've looked at the Maple Ridge OCP to try and anticipate the type of development that will continue in that area (infrastructure, retail, commercial etc) but it doesn't look like its had any substantial amendments since 2014.
I see the nearest West Coast Express station is about a 15 min drive, but not sure if thats with traffic or not.

I don't have any specific questions, other than getting a read on how existing residents feel about the area and its 5-10 year future.

Thank you in advance.

Best secondary school for exchange students, and why?

I'm a Brazilian exchange student going to Maple Ridge next year, I'm gonna study there for a semestrer, I just wanted to know your opinions about the schools there. I was thinking about going to Maple Ridge Secondary (I'm not really into the self-directed learning from Thomas Haney.)

Board game groups

Hello! Does anyone know of any board games groups in maple ridge I could join?

TIA

UPDATE:

I don't believe there's a group so I was thinking of starting one. Would you guys be down to meet up at the HANEY PUBLIC HOUSE on THURSDAYS for a couple of hours of casual board games, food and drinks?

Thursdays work best as they don't have any events on those nights. And I believe that's the wings night.

For now I have the following games we could choose from unless someone else wants to bring another game. Clue, monopoly, pirates, Uno, search and find(kids game but it's fun especially when drinking!), and the hobbit.

Please let me know if you're interested and I can set things up. šŸ˜Š

Maple ridge vw donā€™t care

So Iā€™ve been in the service loaner for about 3-4 months now as Iā€™ve had misfiring issues with my 2018 gti , so I go in for service and they say I need a new engine as it has a crack somewhere in the head , just diagnosing and finding the problem cost me 5000$, they take a month trying to locate a new engine , canā€™t find one but luckily they do , they tell me with labour and the engine will be the total cost of 13,000, yup whatever just give me my car , so I wait and wait , I go in a couple times to trade it in so I donā€™t have to deal with it , put a deposit on a Taos and come back the next day to cancel after Iā€™ve done some thinking and whatnot , I kid you not the sales manager and finance manager rolled their eyes at me and interrogated me after I said I just donā€™t want it anymore , fast forward a couple weeks ago , a salesman reached out to me to trade in my 2018 for a ā€˜24 gti , we talked and worked up a deal , got it down from 370 bi weekly to 326 and Iā€™m happy with that , moonstone grey dsg , but there was a order on it as they canā€™t find one as far as Saskatchewan, but they tried to get me in one that was white and 335 bi weekly on the lot , I declined and continued with the factory order one , they tell me itā€™ll be a month. Forward to a couple days ago , they call me to return the loaner as this is turned over to the sales team and Iā€™d need a sales loaner now , keep in mind I live in maple ridge and work in south Burnaby around Metrotown , I take the car in and ask for another vehicle so I can get to work . ā€œ weā€™re not going to give you a loaner for 3 months because weā€™re not a rental company ā€œ uhm excuse me ? First it was 1 month , now itā€™s 3 months , Iā€™m spending X amount and itā€™s going into winter and you wonā€™t find me something so I can get to work to pay for this vehicle ? We go back and forth and they wonā€™t budge , I say hold on let me make a quick call , I call a family member whoā€™s been in the auto industry for almost all his life to try and reason with the sales manager , manager continues to talk over family member and uses the f word while speaking to my family , so Ofcourse my family member starts getting pretty upset and the sales manager hands me the phone and says ā€œ I tried to tell your family member but heā€™s yelling me at me nowā€ which made me laugh , so as Iā€™ve had enough which with scumbags , I asked for my down payment back and deposit and told them to cancel the order , theyā€™re rude , they donā€™t care about their customers and are scummy as fuck

Caution crossing!

I was sitting at Steveā€™s Pokē Bar on 224th across from the Farmers Market and noticed so many cars driving by quickly and not stopping when pedestrians were waiting to cross. Worse, a car almost hit a lady crossing with her baby carriage! Letā€™s be mindful of pedestrians.

Cut off on Lougheed

I was driving yesterday 3:35 pm east on Lougheed in the curb lane nearing the turn off to golden ears before the Nissan dealership when the guy beside me slightly ahead put on his signal and then drifted into my lane. He did not have room to do so. I held my ground. I do not have to change my speed etc to let him in. It is up to him to make necessary speed adjustments to get into my lane. A signal is not entitlement to do so. After realizing that the driver would not get in unless he forced me off the road. He sped up and cut in 4 cars ahead. After that, a blue pickup truck saw what happened or a friend of other driver. I donā€™t know. Did the exact same thing to me but this time the pick up truck just forced me off the road. I had to slam on breaks to avoid going into the grass. To repeat, YOUR TURN SIGNAL IS NOT ENTITLEMENT. It is more of an intention to do so. I DO NOT HAVE TO ADJUST MY SPEED FOR YOU. NOR DO I HAVE TO CREATE SPACE FOR YOU TO LET YOU IN.
