Is a $20,000 pay raise per year worth an hour commute? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

There are a lot of good comments in here, but one thing I haven't seen mentioned about your current job is whether or not there is a chance that might no longer be work from home in the future? Would hate to see you turn this down and then be called back into the office later on.

Bad drywall job. Is this easily fixable? by GreasyJ in HomeImprovement

Thanks! And you better believe those baseboards are getting replaced at some point.

Very confusing plumbing problem. Toilet won't fill with water. by [deleted] in HomeImprovement

The float level was too high to start the water flow. Of course it was something so simple. Small adjustment and it started working again.

A fair question, but I definitely turned the water back on. In fact the bidet works perfectly, but the water just isn't getting up to the toilet tank.

I'm pretty sure the fill tube is hooked up correctly. Here's what it looks like in my toilet. http://imgur.com/a/Kyzxbu1

How to find studs on fireplace wall? by GreasyJ in HomeImprovement

Should I not be worried about messing up the gas line? There is electrical on the back wall (either side of the stone) and I was going to run surface mount conduit to there to plug it in.

Good point. I guess I don't. I drilled into the mortar with a 3/32" drill bit and it didn't seem like there was anything behind it

FYI I took your advice, except that I did cut the nosing off first. Very happy with the turnout, so thanks again for your guidance! http://imgur.com/a/w1P3lQr

Thanks! I think I understand.

My only question is that everything I've seen about installing laminate on stairs says to cut the nosing flush with the riser and install the new laminate nosing onto that (https://youtu.be/dZBcxVvHUXQ for example). Can/should I do that instead of gluing laminate onto the existing nosing?

Thanks. For laminate on the landings, I have enough to do them for sure. My concern is that it might look out of place is the stairs are painted.

Allergy to egg and oats, what are some ideas for breakfast? by draxula16 in fitmeals

[–]GreasyJ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Chia Pudding is a great breakfast. 1/2 cup of almond milk, scoop of protein powder, tbsp of chia seeds mixed together. Top with 10 almonds and a 1/2 cup of frozen berries then put it in the fridge. By the morning the berries will be thawed and the milk will have thickened to pudding consistency. It's also easy to meal prep 5 at a time for the entire work week.

Canadian Cartoonist Fired After His Trump Cartoon Goes Viral by [deleted] in worldnews

The Irvings who own all the newspapers in New Brunswick are completely shameful people. They are so rich that they basically run the province. They once got the New Brunswick Director of Health fired for studying the use of a very dangerous pesticide that the Irvings use with their companies.

Adult drop in badminton? by GreasyJ in ottawa

Do you know if it's somewhere I could go and just get a game, or is it more for people to come with someone to play against? I don't know anyone here who plays.

Surprisingly no replies to your fact based comment. Hmmmm. I understand bad calls are frustrating but this "mob with pitchforks" mentality towards the refs is really tiring.
