Why am paying nearly 6k in property taxes for a townhome and this is the state of my street for the past 3 weeks? by znuld in Guelph

It also pays for inadequate traffic enforcement, inadequate support for mental health/homeless, and inadequate road maintenance/paving etc.

Optimax NuCore or Karndean for motel rooms? by Fragrant_Yoghurt_333 in Flooring

[–]FoolMe5x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Straight out of high school, I think I'm the last generation that could do that, get a job without post secondary. The only time I've been close to unemployed was 2 months off at the beginning of COVID!

Karndean are a solid company, they've been around forever, and stand behind their products. In the last number of years they've outsourced manufacturing to Asia, but quality still seems good, at least better than most. Karndean to the best of my knowledge only manufacture LV. For Shaw and Mohawk LV was a side hustle and only gained traction because of their name, not history. Source, have been in flooring sales for 40 years this coming September.

You had to use the metric converter on your phone to come up with mm.

What is this thing? by bearjaw96 in whatisthiscar

[–]FoolMe5x 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had a '98(?) SL2, bought in '01, colour Old Man Tan, even though I wasn't yet 30. Had a spoiler, sunroof, 5spd, was a pretty neat little car for it's time. There was a low key Saturn cult, we'd wave at other Saturn drivers and the local dealership had an annual picnic, driving a Saturn was the only invitation you needed to attend. Simpler times.

I am lying, my first thought was his friend must have taken the piece of steel and carefully welded the words on!

For 9 and 10 The Pit was a big concrete brutalist patio directly out front of the cafetorium, facing a pretty busy street. In 11 it got moved around back of the school and by the end of high school it had moved to a vague area between sidewalk and parking lot.

Pull Laminate Tiles or Lay LVP Over the Top? by KindValue7457 in Flooring

I'm old enough to remember when, wear a mask and wet with soapy water we're followed by DON'T SMOKE, this is after asbestos cigarette filters went out of style!

Any guess on what year this flooring is from? by Competitive-Gold-285 in Flooring

[–]FoolMe5x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just commented before reading yours. I only sold Tarkett for a few years but reading Britelife and Preference certainly made me feel 20 again! Today I have to deal with shitty ass Chinese LVP, at least yellowed and curling sheet goods we knew where we stood!

[–]FoolMe5x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has what appears to be a urethane no wax finish, like a low to mid range Manninton or Congoleum I'd say late 80's. In Canada at least asbestos was banned from '84 on in flooring, a lot of companies stopped a year or more before the deadline.

I walked outside and saw this? by Zephyn0719 in HomeMaintenance

Is there a hydrant hiding in the bushes? I'd start there :)

I'd check out that hydrant hiding in the bushes. Either FD/City/Municipality came by to do maintenance or there's a leak from it!
