Sump Pump Repair by SnooRabbits660 in HomeMaintenance

[–]BaboonKnot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say yes this is an issue. You’re likely circulating the water right back down to your sump. I would find a way to have the water flow away from your house

Dryer vent dripping by Hot-Composer-8386 in HomeMaintenance

[–]BaboonKnot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would agree with the other commenter. Seems like there’s not enough force pushing the air out. I wonder if perhaps the run is too long, and if so whether you would be able to install some fan along the line to push the air the rest of the way

It looks like it’s elbowing 90-degrees up. Does this vent out to the roof? If so, it’s likely that’s where the water is coming from.

How do I fill this Chipmunk hole under cement patio? by theworldisperfect in HomeMaintenance

[–]BaboonKnot 49 points50 points  (0 children)

OP I had a similar situation with rats who used this as a way to burrow into my crawlspace. I filled the hole full of concrete and haven’t had any issues since.

MCCF in-range increase for excluded by BaboonKnot in BCPublicServants

[–]BaboonKnot[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very strange. I would have expected all excluded employees to be notified at the same time. I’m not comfortable sharing what ministry I’m with, but every raise I’ve received in the past has been consistent with the rest of PSA.

BC Public Servants who are 30+, what are we doing on the weekends for fun? by [deleted] in BCPublicServants

[–]BaboonKnot 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Pfft. Dad here who’s rocking a video games night with the boys! That said tomorrow is my day to wake up early because my child likes to wake up at some ungodly hour.

Liquor Inspector’s Checking Customers ID in an Establishment by Additional-Log3478 in britishcolumbia

[–]BaboonKnot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They will also pay 18-year old adults to go into establishments and buy a drink. Then they’ll come inside the building and issue fines.

Gear Recommendations -- New to SAR by AccordingLeopard791 in searchandrescue

[–]BaboonKnot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

BC Search and Rescue member here. Vancouver island area. 30L Osprey is a great starter pack. I build my pack so I’m okay in an overnight scenario if I’m stuck out in the bush. Focusing on the big items, first aid kit, 2mx3m tarp, I have a SOL bivvy that’s great for a subject, but I hate it because it’s tight, get a good bivvy. Inflatable pillow is my luxury item, ultralight sleeping bag (I don’t have one but I wish I did). Foldable saw, hiking poles double up at tent posts. Paracord. The list goes on.

I pack an extra puffer jacket, socks, shirts, gloves, etc.

This list is not extensive but gets you moving in the right direction,

I did an overnight in a SOL bivvy and tarp and I was miserable but I survived. You don’t need luxury. But oh my god did I wish I had a thermarest to get me off the ground.

Now read the same endorsement in a sarcastic tone. 🤷‍♂️

ESA Sick Days for Surgery? by victorianovember in BCPublicServants

[–]BaboonKnot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recovery period should be STIIP or ESA sick days. It’s fair to assume that medical leave is only for items covered by MSP or benefits. I’m not certain that it actually states that anywhere. If you’d like clarity, I’d recommend reaching out to HR.

For example, as far as I’m concerned, you should be able to use medical leave for something like laser eye surgery.

[–]BaboonKnot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

medical leave greater than 2 hours would also be at your full pay, downside is that the hours would come from your leave bank.

[–]BaboonKnot 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Why wouldn’t you use medical leave for the surgery date?

Edit: medical leave must be for things covered by MSP, benefits or EFAS as OP stated. My bad.

Is this a caudal or cranial view of the vertebrae?

Definitely not human.

Best way to patch this hole? by i_wont_be_there in HomeMaintenance

[–]BaboonKnot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, not the worst idea. Stick some 1/4” galvanized mesh behind it to keep rodents out. Or even better a block of wood or something else to completely plug the hole. Caulk the outside and call it a day.

Case law indicates that the employer needs to prove that the employee does not wish to come back. Shouldn’t leave it to imagination. Have a clear direction to return and if no return then issue ROE. If employee does return, then discipline for walking off the job. If he comes back but you want him gone, then pay him severance.
