Quite possible, particularly for the curved parts - but I sure hope there is a good dose of natural stone there.

Natural stone unlikely, manufactured stone most likely. $$$

Judging by the design, I’m going with stucco with manufactured stone as accents.

Let me know if you require more guidance.

Thank you thank you thank you! I appreciate you sorting this out for me and now it makes sense! 👍

I would say that's probably what's going to happen.

Nowhere. He probably meant 14 day forecast.

It'll be nice to be back.

Calgary (and other Canadian cities) get a lot of flack for being cold weather places, but all in all winters aren't that bad. You look at some of milder places like the west coast and the east coast of the U.S and you'll find that although it's warmer, it's usually gray and rainy.

Actually that's not true. You can get a 25 day forecast for Calgary.

Um, yeah, not exactly what the name implies 'accuweather' I find it hard to believe any weather agency can predict Calgary's weather 25 days out.

Sorry but....

Bad Grizzly · #**2916** Posted **Dec 17, 2018, 1:29 AM**

Anyone who's lived in Calgary for any amount of time knows that the forecast changes every minutes. Thewy can't even predict 2 days away let alone 24 days away.

It's a bummer for you no doubt. Worst part is there's nothing you can do about it except check in and watch Daemon's updates of a new big huge mansion going in.

Does this CT location actually sell tires? Also, is the Urban Fare store in this building open yet?

lol. You should do stand up comedy. First off, I'm not that bummed out, I will be sleeping okay tonight. I still think it's a needless waste, but thankfully it's only the odd house here and there that is getting bulldozed for a bigger house, and it only seems to be on Crescent Road.

I'm pretty sure you're bummed out, as you've complained every time someone posts pictures of a new mansion getting built. I was only pointing out that there's nothing you can do about so you might as well learn to enjoy the situation.
