A replacement window project is something that should be done once and not again for many years.During our consultation appointments, we noticed that many window companies do not inform the homeowners about bedroom window regulation, and end up installing windows that do not meet the provincial fire code standard. Not only is this unlawful, it can lead to death.We will summarize all the ins and out of Egress Windows size specifications that you should know.Although bedroom windows are not considered to be ordinary escape routes, they can be used as exits in case of a fire if the window size and type allow for it.The Public Health Act states the following: For buildings of 3 stories or less and except where a bedroom door provides access directly to the exterior, or the suite is sprinklered, each bedroom shall have at least one outside window which may be opened from the inside without the use of tools or special knowledge.Windows should be easy to operate and obviously openable. Any type of window that requires several steps to operate requires “special knowledge”.
Approved Window Styles for Egress WindowsWindows referred to above shall provide unobstructed openings with areas not less than 0.35 m(3.8ft2), with no dimension less than 380 mm (15 in.). The unobstructed opening must be measured between the window components (sashes, jambs, sills, opening mechanisms, etc.)(ii) If the window referred above is provided with security bars, the security bars shall be installed so they may be opened from the inside without the use of any tools or special knowledge.It is recommended that the sill of windows intended for use as emergency exits is not higher than 1.5m above the floor. Windows in basement bedrooms should have improved access, for example, by installing built-in furniture below the window.Basement bedroom windows should comply to the same rules as above ground bedroom windows with the following addition when the window opens into a window well: Where a window required for a bedroom opens into a window well, a clearance of at least 760 mm (30 in.) must be provided in front of the window.
Where the sash swings toward the window well, the operation of the sash must not reduce the clearance in a manner that would restrict escape in an emergency.In many cases when basement windows are converted into bedroom basement windows, concrete cutting might be required in order to enlarge the existing window opening. In such cases many window replacement companies recommend hiring a company that will enlarge the window opening based on the proper window size that will be given by the window replacement company. This work usually requires a permit from your municipality, so make sure to clarify with your company whether your window installation requires any additional approvals. As the homeowner, you are usually required to obtain and secure cut-out permit. After the opening is enlarged, the new window will be installed.If you are planning to convert basement windows into bedroom basement windows in the future make sure to inform the window product consultant about your intentions at the time of appointment.

Love getting the Star quickly when I want to read it. Very economical source of news. This is an enormous improvement over the old basic PressReader app. The main interface is a bit clunky, but works well for tablets. Only complaint is getting downloads to start ... sometimes just does not happen with the StarPhoenix. With Internet connection working fine, all papers BUT the StarPhoenix will load in the app just fine, while the SP download insists there's no Internet.Love having access wherever I want. Very easy to use and read. One person found this helpful. Very nice to have while travelling away from home Give it a headline

Winning the Prairie Gamble Eaton's Christmas >> History Eaton's Once Upon a Christmas During the years following the Second World War, Canadians who shopped at Eaton’s in cities like Winnipeg and Toronto were treated to windows full of Christmas scenes and figures. Carols piped to the street wrapped the windows in the magical sounds of Christmas. It is these window displays that make up the Western Development Museum’s Once Upon a Christmas display. Built in 1946 by aircraft technicians and Second World War veterans for the Eaton’s store in Winnipeg, the mechanical figures are power by war surplusAppearing in the Portage Avenue windows of the downtown Winnipeg store, the displays complemented the annual Santa
The figurines, built from plaster-of-Paris, danced and pranced under power provided by the air force navigational motors. After many years, the scenes were put into storage until 1976 when they were divided and sold to other Eaton’s stores in Saskatoon, Regina and ThunderIn 1977 the Eaton’s store in Saskatoon purchased the units that had gone to Regina and Thunder Bay and put them together on the second floor of their Midtown Plaza store where they appeared annually until 1984. and 1986, the display was put up in Midtown Plaza. In 1987, the display came to Saskatoon’s Western Development Museum. How the Christmas Displays Came to the WDM It was 1987 when an Eaton’s official at the store in Saskatoon“Would you like a Christmas exhibit?” he asked. the space of a heartbeat, the Museum replied - yes. Volunteers Put Back the Sparkle In the first year, WDM staff and volunteers racked up nearly 3000 hours mending and painting, fixing and repairing.
Many of the motors hadMechanical systems had broken down. Scenes were soiled and figures were broken. In the years since 1987, many volunteers and staff have added their special touches to keeping this exhibit up and running. Museum refurbished all the paper surfaces and lettering. mechanical and electrical overhaul was completed. Leading up to the 2000 season, Del Huyghebaert and Nelson Remenda put in 6000 volunteer hours, helping WDM staffers George Seabrook and Gene Barlow prepare the exhibit Members of the Museum’s Women’s Auxiliary have sewn cloaks and dresses, coats and trousers for the animated characters. an easy task, because the figures do not bend. Each costume had to be measured, cut, and sewn directly onto each figure. and scarves were knit for miniature hands and heads. Every season, Once Upon a Christmas figures bob and nod, twirl and tumble for more than 500 hours. Keeping Santa’s helpers on the job in
