Heritage – Replacement of cedar roof shingles and four windows – 2, rue Wellington – Hull-Wright Electoral District – Steve Moran
Questions, answers, and comments were formulated, concerning among other things:
- A request to verify the location of the downspouts;
- A request to verify on the quote whether the muntin bars of the new windows will be identical to the existing ones. If the quote does not provide for muntin bars identical to the existing ones, a condition is requested to require muntin bars identical to the existing ones, and not just the installation of strips glued onto the windows.
