Inside of the Perimeter has a very wide range of price points, but finding the right deal is much less challenging than other busy markets in the country.

More desirable is fencing as that makes the perimeter secured and pet owner tenants is a possibility.

Curb was still ok just had less rim height around the perimeter.

Benching around the perimeter is also an option, but that'll reduce your square footage.

You will need to be sure that the adhesive edges are pressed firmly(I've even thought about rolling it) and that there is a space around the perimeter of the floor for it to float.The issues that I have had in one particular unit was that there was an area where the surface was worn down due to repetitive movement.

Decided to put some of that down around the perimeter.

You would tape all seams in each layer and use a sealant around the perimeter of each sheet to achieve your air barrier.

Modern gas stoves and fireplace inserts are sealed (airtight) with respect to the living space (room) and vent their combustion air from outside - typically a separate pipe through the side of the building or a centre pipe within the exhaust flue (either through the side of the building or as a sleeve in an existing chimney.The cheapest way to stop air and heat from being drawn up your chimney is to decommission your fireplace; stuff insulation in the top of the firebox against the closed damper; then tape a sheet of 6mil poly (vapour barrier) under the insulation being certain to create a seal with the sides of the firebox all the way around the perimeter of the barrier.Since you still want to use your fireplace periodically, but do not wish to incur the expense of installing an airtight insert, you could still attempt to plug the top of the firebox when you are not using the fireplace.  

You should consider looking at perimeter towns/suburbs and see if properties make more sense a bit further away.  

I have gotten into the habit, however, of leaving a bottle of the same home insect perimeter spray that I use on my home and tell them that it works well for me.
