Mould risk at Olympic Village?
Little posted a link to this Province newspaper story over the weekend. Subcontractors at the Vancouver Olympic Village are accused of taking shortcuts in its construction, including not insulating all in wall pipes. This brings a risk of mould problems 3 or 4 years down the road:
During the meeting, Loftus says, Jasper was shown photos of the uninsulated pipes in various buildings on the site and said he would get back to the insulators union, but Loftus said he’s still waiting. A second visit to the site weeks after the meeting found the drywall still in place with the pipes now hidden behind it.
“I don’t think they can fix it on time,” Loftus said. “They would have to take the walls down, inspect all the piping and then do it right. It would certainly be cheaper to do it now rather than later, but I’m guessing it would cost millions.
“And if they found mould, it would be even worse.”
Ballem said she wasn’t told about any specific problems with the construction of the Olympic Village, only that a union had some concerns about quality control.
“This is the first I’ve heard of this,” Ballem said when contacted by The Province. “If the concerns are true — and I have no evidence of whether they are or not — and they not being paid attention to, that’s a concern for the city.”

#53 Sorry but hiding behind the tired rant of 'fascist' calling doesn't make a braindead opinion any more correct. You name calling morons-deniers just don't get the big picture. The deniers contingents remind me of the forest monkey's who beat their chests, throw grass, twigs and dirt in the air when they get frustrated. You won't win an argument with me through misdirection. These are some pretty weany comebacks, actually serving to prove my point. Boo Hoo.

#50, the official number is 800 Million ++, look it up straggler. If the truth hurts you, too bad. trying to justify living in 'Shitside' by avoiding the facts is just plain stupid. If you are that concerned about your property value you should be screaming at the 'Shitty Council', not me. Living in ignorance is not the answer.
#51, If the truth hurts, too bad.
Can't hide from the facts chumbo.
