Yep! Fair points! Given the fact that BC had a wave of heat related deaths a couple of years back that I think kind of spurred on the mandatory AC in new construction laws, I still think a blanket ban on AC is bogus, but I can see where you’re coming from.
And also, yes, ensuring a client has strata approval before doing the work is a pretty bare minimum thing for a contractor’s professionalism and general… you know… lawsuit avoidance.
On the other hand, I feel like it’s a bit lazy on the part of a strata to just straight up ban something that can improve the efficiency and safety of a home. If there are noise restrictions, cool! I agree that’s a solid consideration, and that should weigh into the decision to approve or deny a particular request—and I don’t think it would be particularly difficult to say “approved units must be less than (X) decibels, and drawings/plans must be submitted alongside the installation request to strata for approval”.
I love this so much because it’s so absolutely chaotic, but it’s also not too far off.
Hear me out!
You’re cooking Mac and cheese, and you put on some breadcrumbs or panko to give the dish some texture—cool, cool.
A knob of cream cheese, assuming you’re already having a mix of cheeses, that could give some creaminess to the mix and it doesn’t sound that bad—dare I say even potentially good?!
But the thought of a savory cheesecake with pasta in it is also just so revolting I can’t help but hate it. Visually even I think the robots did a great job here, and I still hate it.
Overall, love it. Whoever thought this up, kudos.
