Renos: Delay, delay, Delay

I'm sure anyone who's done renovations before is familiar with the constant state of running into issues you did not foresee. For Ben and I this is our first time doing renos in a commercial space and our first time dealing with the bureaucracy that is the City of Vancouver as small business owners. Needless to say we are learning a great deal, not just about what the City requires from us, but also about how easy it is for tenants to have shoddy work done when a landlord and the City aren’t paying attention.
