furniture & weather-wear, tear & care

It's not like Arizona or Australia.
(I actually would not want to live a top sunny places of the world. It just would make more paranoid re my skin. I'm not kiddin', cycling already gives me plenty of sun. No more. I have to watch my skin now, according to dermatologist.)

But a whole lot sunnier than some of the places where I've lived. Yes, B.C. though might get alot of snow in certain areas, actually temperatures aren't super cold.

Calgary's coldness, -25 to -30 degrees C in winter, is off-set by its sunny skies. ( It's not surprising a number of folks here have worked in the Far North, the expression means near the Arctic/in the Arctic...)

I also have never had a home with so much sun exposure. It is also the combination of drier air and very cold temperatures in winter, which can cause certain things to concrete, wood to split/heave plus temperature fluctuations.

Vancouver does not get pavement heave compared to ie. Toronto. I really noticed this when I return to cycle Toronto's bike routes.
