Bylaw only go by dB not frequency. The neighbour's downstairs renter has an apartment closer to the hot tub and isn’t happy but doesn’t want to rock the boat with his landlord.

If it was on at night it actually wouldn’t be an issue. I can't hear it in the house but I can hear it when I'm in my yard though during the day. I asked her if she could schedule the pump cycles for the overnight period and she said no which was odd as I thought the biggest temp dips would be...

Since the new neighbour moved in a year or so ago I hate hot tubs with a passion. She put the damn thing near my fence and it hums for ******* hours every day in the winter. The frequency gets right inside my head and makes it feel like it’s going to explode from the pressure She says she...

In Central and South America I've seen things I'd love to reproduce here but I'm not sure it's possible. In Panama City I watched entire streets of people huddle around TV's outside to watch a boxing match and in the old town in Cartagena when the sun went down people would sit outside and...

Auctionitis!

We used to pick up solid wood furniture and refinish it. No one wants to be bothered with stripping old varnish and sanding and restaining it etc so some stuff is cheap or free. We picked up a massive harvest table like this for cheap. Stripped the old varnish off, sanded, restained it and...

If you're super duper unlucky it may have glaziers putty on there too.

What sort of paperwork did that involve?

Not doing a multi head mini-split heat pump/ac I don’t think. Will do 2x single units as that’s more efficient and gives redundancy in case of downtime with one unit. Plus we can spread costs out. Getting some quotes shortly and will see what those are like vs me installing the thing myself...

Take the doors off the hinges and transport those separately.

Holy ****. I'd fancy one of those but new they are hovering at $200k and used around $130k upwards for something with 100k kms. Wow, I never knew they were so pricey.

I have a fountain in my garden that I bought years ago. It’s cracked in places, it fell over once and broke a bit off. I fixed the leak, patched it all up and it holds water and looks fine. I keep doing this every year and probably will continue doing so until it decays. Once the water is...

ADHD diagnoses are way up among the demographic that most uses social media and I've read respectable reports that suggest maybe it’s not ADHD in every case but just a habit now of consuming small pieces of information such that anything longer or more complex is rejected.

Dexter - resurrection is amazing. I’d forgotten how much I like all the Dexter series but this one blends the blackest of black comedy with the thriller genre even better than the others.

Unfortunate. No idea what was happening but it seemed quite close up to the end?

We were gifted a vintage bottle of champagne once but it had been stored upright. Thing was flat as a pancake. I was very disappointed as I like a good champagne. On its side the cork will stay wet and will clog up the pores that could let air through and make it swell to fit the neck. On...

I get the feeling that a white roof is going to be a bit more useful in climates that don’t get ******* frigid for 6 months of the year. I thought about it for our flat roof for a bit then weighed up the effort/benefit ratio.

I have a large organ. The website has a picture size cap though.

Yes but soccer = 2x45 mins. Thats it. Done. Cricket on the other hand……
