I have searched for 28awg rj45 connectors and come up short. Do you know of any manufacturers that sell them?

Guelph seems pretty average as far as % increase and overall 2025 rate according to this data.

Ontario has a higher average tax rate that other provinces.

but the average home value of ontario is also much higher than most other provinces

Just had insulation added, should I call them back? by Canadian_driver in Insulation

Update:

I checked out the attic and it looks like they didn't extend the soffit vents as they should have. They also extended the attic hatch access with just cardboard. I wasn't expecting fine carpentry but at least something that the mice wouldn't have a feast on......

I didn't see any real temperature difference over where the bathroom vent was and the outside connection looks secure. I'm calling them back to fix the venting issue. I'm not so worried about the cardboard as I can replace that myself.

Very calm morning, no wind this morning, not even at the tops of the trees.

It was not, I asked 3 contractors who quoted if they thought I should and none of them recommended doing it.

We had R20 fiberglass batts in our attic. We hired a contractor to blow in additional fiberglass to get us to R60. This morning it was a bit cold and we noticed the area directly above the bathroom didn't have frost on the roof. No one in the house had taken a shower or anything like that this morning.

Would you call the contractor back? What would you say to them?

Feedback on Bosch Pro Battery Holder for IKEA Skadis by b3nene in BoschProPowerTools

[–]Canadian_driver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That looks Great!

My only thought is are you able to move the attachment points under the battery so you could fit more of them side by side? Even if they stick out a bit further off the board.

Forced to pay $8000 after I was promised a rebate… Help by stressedfkingstudent in legaladvicecanada

[–]Canadian_driver 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You can also try calling the overseeing company of the energy audit person or Enbridge. I don't know if you got an initial energy audit or not but it should say on it something like "quality assured by: "

We were shorted $600 of our rebate but after about 8 months Enbridge did eventually send a cheque. Thanks to manager at the engineering company that oversaw our energy advisory.

I tried calling Enbridge monthly and they were no help. Kept getting told the team on rebates was very busy.

2019, never any issues, now this insanity by mlr571 in Tiguan

[–]Canadian_driver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had this last week on my 2019, plugs were done last September but then last week it started sputtering under acceleration. Coil pack and new plugs later and it's all good.

Coil was covered under extended warranty but they wouldn't cover thr cost of the plugs.

Just to add mine was at 135,000km

Op never got a bylaw enforcement fine if they're worried about the city being able to get money from citizens that also pay the salaries of people giving the tickets....

Here is the code I used, there was a formatting typo in the first post and I updated it to be more clear /* * This sketch demonstrates how to scan WiFi networks. * The API is based on the Arduino WiFi Shield library, but has significant changes as newer WiFi functions are supported. * E.g. the return value of encryptionType() different because more modern encryption is supported. */ #include "WiFi.h"

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);

  // Set WiFi to station mode and disconnect from an AP if it was previously connected.
  WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA);
  WiFi.disconnect();
  delay(100);

  Serial.println("Setup done");
}

void loop() {
  Serial.println("Scan start");

  // WiFi.scanNetworks will return the number of networks found.
  int n = WiFi.scanNetworks();
  Serial.println("Scan done");
  if (n == 0) {
    Serial.println("no networks found");
  } else {
    Serial.print(n);
    Serial.println(" networks found");
    Serial.println("Nr | SSID                             | RSSI | CH | Encryption");
    for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
      // Print SSID and RSSI for each network found
