And the house has wood siding with a flat roof and grass growing on the roof! Yikes!

Yeah, I saw those flat roofs, and talk of whistler, and thought what a nightmare. Peaked roofs exist for a reason. I wonder what their snow strategy is? Because one day of rain on top of several feet of snow causes severe structural strain if it can’t just slide down.

The last photo is in snow...

I wonder if they actively melt snow on the roof?!

Would help explain the 400+ amps of electricity they pull from the grid.

Do they have to get up there (or rather does their groundsperson have to get up there) and mow the roof?

Pemberton is quite rainy, so forest fires aren't a huge concern. Once you get to the other side of the Coastal mountains (the interior), fire is a much bigger concern.

here's an article from this summer when there were four out-of-control fires burning in the pemberton region. pemberton is definitely less of a concern than the other side of the mountains, but there is definitely still a risk. and that risk is only growing.

they don't need insurance, they could probably just build another one if the current one burns down...

Is it a sunset or does one of the photos even show a raging fire on a mountain in the background?

My thoughts as well. In the BC woods is only a question of when the next forest fire will come.

The other thought that came to mind is if its a second home - how do you prevent squatters/random people from "enjoying" the house while you are away.
