    Appliances brands?

    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...

    Local Auto Thefts

    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.

    Appliances brands?

    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...

    Anyone make jerky?

    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...

    Anyone make jerky?

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

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    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...

    Inflation

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

    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

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    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?

    Electric Truck - Anyone have a Ford Lightning or Pre Order a Silverado EV?

    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...

    Torque wrench 5ft/lb - 80 ft/lb

    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.

    Torque wrench 5ft/lb - 80 ft/lb

    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.

    Torque wrench 5ft/lb - 80 ft/lb

    Why would it damage a click torque wrench? After it clicks the spring is not getting any additional pressure. Sure when you get in to breaker bar with extension territory you can damage the wrench, but for loosening over torqued wheels I can't see a problem.

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    I am looking for suggestions to protect the tarmac driveway when working on the car. There's a (good) chance rust, oil, brake fluid will leak. Something like an oversized shoe tray would be awesome. Any sugestions?

    First step in privatizing healthcare?

    Why is OHIP incapable of paying the nurses the market wage directly? Do they only speak contractor and intermediary above $50? What's that $100 nurse billed at?
