So, as promised, the City of Vancouver did indeed get back to me this week to indicate that I need to get my tree protection up before they will issue my building/development permits (yes, nice if they would have told me this before). Communication is not their fortay.
So - we're slated to get the tree protection stuff up on either Monday or Tuesday, and have the inspector come on Tuesday/Wednesday at which point, it should go back to the City for approval. At that point, I'll need to go in, and pay my fees and we're off to the "races".
First up will be demolition and decontamination. I've opted in the end to do a pretty extensive remediation with the vermiculite being removed (which sucks because it's non containing but they treat it as though it were), as well as the asbestos tile, ducting tape, and breaching cement. The demolition will include the entire inside, and for better or worse, I'm opting to do the entire exterior myself (should be interesting - especially for the higher siding...methinks scaffolding rental will be in my near future).
I should be starting to post more regularly now...the decisions are going to start coming fast and furious. Wish us luck!
