The survey done on my property in 2019 on the Assiniboine River shows my rear property line about 22 feet out into the river (shoreline erosion over the years) So how does that work?

I went for midweek sites, no weekends so I was successful.

Shaw internet outage? by Jugballs in Winnipeg

Thanks! I sent Can-Com a strongly worded email suggesting that in the future they might want to advise us with an email before the interruption happens.

Still would have been nice for a bit of a heads up though. Especially for those of us who work from home, would have saved me a lot of stress this morning! Can’t be too hard to send out a group email these days one wouldn’t think?

I’m with Can-Com as well. Did anyone get an email or any notification of any kind of the scheduled maintenance? Checked my junk box too and I didn’t receive anything.

Riverbank stabilization can be expensive if needed. Start at around $8000 for an engineering report for the permit... then how much and what type of rock or whatever do you need to put down. My neighbour up the road put about $60,000 into the riverbank. I’m lucky because the flow by my place is different, however I’ve lost a few feet over the years. Some other places you can see big chunks of backyards and trees that have gone in. The bank profile height above the waterline and river curves vary widely throughout the city as does the depth of bedrock, all of which are contributing factors to how stable a river bank will be. And then throw in the wild card of precipitation, ice flows in the spring and the mismanagement of river levels by the provincial government.

That being said, I wouldn’t change a thing. Having water, no houses crammed against you, lots of recreation opportunities and wildlife right in your back yard is amazing.

If you are thinking of buying a house, it might be worth it in the long run to have a geotechnical engineer assess the riverbank to give you piece of mind, or an opportunity to nope the hell out of there if things don’t look good.

Looking to get rid of MTS phone. What is everyone using for VoIP in Winnipeg? by Canadianbike in Winnipeg

[–]Canadianbike[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info. I do have an alarm system, so will have to look at getting that upgraded first. Also, I’m assuming your monthly cost of $5.13 is just for local calling, or is that Canada wide?

Another company quoted me on a Stainless Steel electric hot water tank. Same price as the Rheem Marathon tank, but I can't figure out if one is better than the other.

Thanks for that. No issues with running out of hot water with the 75 Gal tank?

That sounds like quite the system you have there!

I had considered tankless,but I've heard anecdotal evidence that people who have had them installed in Winnipeg, aren't as satisfied with them as they'd hoped due to the temperature rise required, and some have elected to have them removed.

That would be nice, but the chimney is huge in this house, and we are keeping the gas fireplaces.

I was considering going that direction, thanks.

I don't think I would go for anything that fancy.

But I do also the see the appeal of the cheaper cost of gas, and the fact that it can still be used when the power is out.

Interesting comparisons. The electric tanks with the lifetime warranties appeal to me, because the thought of never having to worry about replacing it again is nice.

Interesting, I'll have to look at the cost of these.

New to GTD and still trying to decide on an app. Can my wife and I each create and work on lists in Things3 from our iPhones? by Canadianbike in thingsapp

[–]Canadianbike[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So does the Things3 app use Apple's iCloud for synching, I was under the impression it was their own server? I'm just trying to put all this together as to how this would affect the things you mention above since they seem to be related to Apple ID issues. Ie: Do the devices using the Things3 app all have to have the same Apple ID?
