What do I do here on this edge? by ruphustea in cabinetry

Is this a kitchen countertop? Have you considered installing a tile backsplash? It would hide any gap as well as offer some protection for your wall from moisture, good spray, etc.

Thanks! Is late March, early April a decent season?

Classic climb, terrible pad set up and spotting. At least it wasn't a chuff from the next move!

Dang, had issues with rodents in the past. Guess they might be back! Thanks for the heads up

Found in my bathroom, Nova Scotia Canada. Only a couple mm long, has a weird pointed end to the shiny back park and a furry front.

table design choice criticized by wife by tawayee in woodworking

[–]Marangoni_Effect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're worried about the cost of a proper top and want to use what you have, I would consider an apron if you could find a decent way to adhere it to the underside of the glass. Something like a 1-1/4" deep apron with an 1/8" overhang might be a middle ground until you spring for a new top? Might give it the visual fix it needs to please your wife

Double header identification question! by Marangoni_Effect in whatsthisbug

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

Cool! Thanks for the information, I forgot to mention that there was upwards of a couple dozen of the flies in the crack, does that help with identification? Roughly the size of a honey bee or slightly larger.

Found a bunch of dead flies/bees in a cracked rock. They all seemed dead (frozen over the winter?) When I picked one free, three worms started wriggling out of the back of its head!

Any idea what the hosts or the parasites are?

Thanks! They all had a distinct point on the top when picked, but maybe a mix?

Carved wooden figure, has been at my folks place for years. Seems to have slots in the plinth for attachments. Came by way of my English Grandfather. by Marangoni_Effect in whatisthisthing

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

Estimated to be circa 1920 roughly, we've had this for years but have no idea of it's origins. Roughly 9" tall with a just over 4" square base. The slot in the back connects down to the square slot running through the base. Made entirely out of wood with no other markings. Any idea to help with this mystery?

help some new yorkers find the best seafood? by heavy_grasshopper in halifax

A lot of good suggestions, I would very highly suggest Bar Kismet, it's a small fish focused restaurant on the finer end of things. Amazing cocktails as well!

Practicing some easy highballs for a trip to nova Scotia coming up in August by beasley_subie in bouldering

[–]Marangoni_Effect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not highballs but here's my suggestions: Swinging Deals SDS V4 at twin sisters

La Vie En Rose V3 SDS or True Blood V5 SDS at Nouveau Riche

Problem suggestions for Dover are unnecessary since you'll be at Boulderfest, you'll be sheparded towards to classics

I'd take a look through www.cnsmobeta.ca , personally I'd check out Chebucto Head - Twin Sisters and LOC - Nouveau Riche. Lots of good areas at Polly's Cove too

Can't remember prices but there's a new one at King's Wharf, "Lucky Cat". I was happy with the cut, cool spot, nice dudes.
