That would be the gold standard and before I did something expensive and permanent like an SDU I'd do it. Surveys aren't a couple hundred anymore though. For his fence, the siting would be good enough for me. Once I knew where the PL was, I could then decide whether to roll dice with fence location.

Ugh...can't I just pull a Kevin and paint over it?

Plan is (for costs of course) to replace the worst posts now...and then re-use the panels with decent wood.

As time, and funds, allow I would continue to replace posts and fence panels as I'm not in the mood to drop 10-12k in wood currently in a single shot.

I've got about 30-odd posts to replace, with about 10 of them falling over.

My biggest issue is Kevin went onto City of Mississauga land, and now I don't know how to deal with this as the shed he built is too far out...if anyone knows where I live keep it hush hush because I don't feel like having CoM inspectors coming around.

My excel skills continue....

Green - Kevin fence
Red - neighbour fence
Blue - potential resolution
Grey - Road
Green Box - Kevin shed

I'm quite sure Kevin (green) encroaches onto CoM property...

Downside to blower/vacuum is when vacuuming, you beat the hell out of the impeller. I tried an aliexpress replacement, we'll see how it holds up.

I didn't have a great way to measure the change in airflow. Rpm dropped from 7500 to 6500 so it's obviously working a lot harder now. Redline is ~7200 rpm so this should help it live longer.

My customer today worked for a very large roofing company as a salesman...We were talking about how expensive hot tubs have become and how many people are financing them...he mentioned half the jobs he sells are financed these days....if that tells you anything about the population not having an extra 10-20k in their bank account for a once in 20-25 year home maintenance item..Plus the ones that may put it on a line of credit for a better rate...

I have seen prices for shingle roofs from 20-80K in the last few years. I sure as hell don't have >50k in cash waiting to pay for a roof.
 
I just bought the Costco portable hot tub . At nine hundred bucks it’s less than the sales tax on a proper fiberglass tub . I can buy a new one every two yrs and be cheaper than Arctic spa after twenty years .
If financing a roof is under five percent , sure sign me up , otherwise I’ll pull this from somewhere else . Homeowners without twenty five k cash does not surprise me in the least . The number that are about forty five days from cooked if the job is lost is staggering

Got a link? Is this 110V or 220V?

My understanding is that the 110V are effectively useless as it takes days to heat up.

Not sure about most here (except the obvious ballers) but I sure as hell don’t typically have 10-20k laying around in cash ready to go.

Life is expensive, it’s getting more expensive and the vast majority are living paycheque to paycheque.
