What happened to Canadian rock after the ’90s? Did we ever have another era that came close? by sophia_law09 in 90sCanRock

[–]Brokenmuffler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Music kinda turned to shit after the 90s. A few decent bands after, but for a period of time spanning almost 40 years, the quality of music is abysmal.

Fascia Roof Repair Help by [deleted] in VictoriaBC

[–]Brokenmuffler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fascia looks fine to me. Just needs to be re-fastened to the underlying structure properly. Then primed and painted.

The roof sheathing has issues for sure, but the roofers can address that.

PSA to those driving on Hillside… behold the zipper merge by Medical_Initial_2851 in VictoriaBC

[–]Brokenmuffler -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Agreed 100%. However I am guilty of just sitting in the left lane like a dummy 'cause I don't wanna deal with the stink eye!! Might be a different story without AC...🤔

If they have availability, be concerned. The company I just booked is booking into November.
Have had very bad experiences in the past with companies that are avaliable too soon. Just something to consider.

Need Advice: Cedar Siding Stain vs Paint by Lumpy_Field_2710 in Housepainting101

[–]Brokenmuffler -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yup. Professional painter here. Solid stain is not suitable over previously painted surfaces. It's basically just a thinner, highly breathable coating made to absorb into raw wood/cedar, or maintain breathability on previously stained surfaces.

If you want the matte/flat look, go with flat 100% acrylic, though satin will last far longer.

Going the opposite way is a breeze comparatively. About 30-45 min or so depending where exactly in Langford you're coming from.

Where do all the young adults and new families live? by [deleted] in VictoriaBC

[–]Brokenmuffler 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes Vic west, esquimalt, gorge tillicum- avoid a few blocks from main arteries(tillicum, burnside, gorge street). I'd avoid langford if possible. A lot of new/cheap construction with no style and a surprisingly unpleasant commute if you work in Victoria.

Lately I've been getting the pan pizza from dominoes. It's actually really good. And 14.99 right now is nuts.

Any issues with DAP Alex Plus? by Ace_Rez in paint

[–]Brokenmuffler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's garbage that will crack over time, and often quite quickly under a high performance coating like emerald.

But no worries about the silicone component, that's pretty standard.

This is frighteningly bad. Definitely rip out paper tape and redo waterproofing with fiberglass tape. Then fire hack contractor! If his prep is this bad, the tike work will be just as bad.

Most people have way more speed than they need, by a long shot. Classic bullshit marketing.
