@Toon_Dreessen Haha…..April Fools!

Shocking to see @cdninteriors celebrate a fundamentally exclusionary design strategy as being "on the right path"....should read "...designed for some youth to function at their best."

Premiering at the Time Space Existence architecture exhibition (20 May – 26 November) in Venice, Who Is This For acts as a provocation to the design industry. canadianarchitect.com/hcmas-who-is-t…

BREAKING: E. Jean Carroll drops a huge bombshell on Donald Trump's head as her attorney announces that "everything's on the table" and she might sue him for defamation AGAIN after he smeared her in a vile CNN interview last night. Trump claimed during the interview that he never met her just a day after a jury ruled that he sexually abused her and must pay her $5 million in damages. By smearing her yet again he has left himself liable to a brand new defamation suit. The attorney says that they will "give serious consideration" to the idea. Retweet if you think that Caroll should sue Trump again and bleed more money out of him!

@BizOptimizeGuy It’s an Ontario Bldg Code limitation based in your set back distance which establishes a max percentage of the area of the wall between the grade and the upper floor ceiling. You will need to look it up. Search ‘limiting distances’ and ‘max unprotected opening’

Hey #ottawa #bylaw #newconstruction & #buildingcode Tweeps, is there a ‘max’ window allowance on side yards with minimum set back? (I only found a MIN window area reference for bedrooms). Next neighbour will have 8 windows on my side, but just 1 on their opposite side yard.

@Toon_Dreessen lol
