Who handles warranty? The store or do they just direct the buyer to deal with the manufacturer? Trail appliances isn't that far. A 40 minute drive... is usually 40 minutes. Our current Frigidaire fridge is still decent. The only problem we are having is that food keeps getting moldy in it. It...

There have been several cases where vehicles have been tracked with airtags, yet no action has been taken. Jurisdictional issues often hinder action, and apathy prevails. We need something like the FBI to do a nationwide cleanup, addressing everything from car theft rings to political...

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I am in Squamish , BC ;) I think I will keep an eye out for used Bosch.

I'm in the market for a new refrigerator to replace my 30" model. I'm not particularly interested in smart features, screens, mood lighting, or water dispensers. What I really need are strong shelves and sliding mechanisms that can withstand my wife's abusive style in the kitchen. I tend to do...

Thanks for the tip Lyndsay. If anyone is headed to Whistler I can provide samples ;). PM me, I don't check around here that often.

This was my first time. I wanted a snack for mountaineering so salty and carbs are good. For 1 kg of eye round I started with this recipe. 1 cup (packed) dark brown sugar 1 cup soy sauce 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 1 tablespoon smoked paprika 1 teaspoon unseasoned meat tenderizer...

Mine has 4 hours to go. Eye round. I used black strap molasses instead of sugar.

I need to soundproof a wall that runs alongside the stairs. I suspect that noise is transferring through the wall because the electrical panel is on the other side of it. There might not be any insulation between the wall and the electrical panel. My plan is to use sonopan with drywall on top...

I giggle at people that buy "natural", "clean", "no chemicals" soaps for $$$. Soap needs lye.

Ops my bad. I thought the link was non paywalled with links to the podcast on all the podcast services. Search for: Odd Lots Isabella Weber on the Big Rethink of Inflation...

Interesting podcast with Isabella Weber's alternative view on inflation causes and solutions. It might even apply to housing in Canada. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2023-06-08/isabella-weber-on-the-big-inflation-rethink-odd-lots

Iberville 1104-L vs 1104-LA. Technically, the Iberville catalog lists the 1104-L as compatible with AC, but 1104-LA works way better. Has anyone encountered any problems with inspectors when using the 1104-L for AC installations?

I noticed that the speedometer actually reached 73 mph, while claiming not to feel the load. Not hearing the engine revving hides how hard the engine is working. He might be driving the limit, but it's pretty high at 70. How much more gas would a gas-powered f150 take when towing like that? RE...

I guess my Husky torque wrench is tougher than your pansy EGA. Note bullet 3. My 3/4 torque wrench goes up to 250ft/lbs. That's a reasonable qualification to use it to loosen overtightened wheel nuts.

What are we betting on? https://images.homedepot.ca/pdf/%20Specifications_1000788224-pdf.pdf Look up how click torque wrenches work. It will make sense why using them as breaker bars(within reason) does not change their calibration.
