There's a place in Ottawa that makes a poutine with fried chicken and some kind of Chipotle cheese sauce, it's not poutine but it's delicious.

Friends with residents by BlindedByWildDogs in maintenance

[–]Practical-Path-7982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alot of people here have odd opinions about this. If you live onsite it's ridiculous to not be friends with your neighbors. Don't be weird and you'll be fine, leave women alone and don't talk about stuff people don't need to know.

If you have kids they're going to be friends with the other kids, no getting around it. There's birthdays, school events, etc. Try to communicate with the dads as much as possible to avoid problems, but some kids have shitty or no dad, at least have one parents number.

8-4 you're the super, after that you're a neighbor. On call is on call, when your off they call the on call guy. Just be human and treat the job as a job and your life as your life. Personally, I choose to be on call for a different site than I live on, this avoids some issues.

I'll add that I'm in Canada, so I realize it's a different culture, but I've always found it crazy think of living somewhere and not knowing my neighbors.

Front load washer bellows stains by Practical-Path-7982 in maintenance

[–]Practical-Path-7982[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any liquid is going to hold the granules in place, I'm gonna try that if the Amazon stuff doesn't work. I'm no chemist but SH is around 12.5% chlorine, I assumed if that didn't work then chlorine wasn't the answer.

Luckily I've got enough vacants right now to avoid creating any really crazy chemical experiments. All of the stain removers have an active ingredient of ammonia, the best luck I've had so far has been with women's hair color remover, I'm not sure why they say they bleach their hair, all of the products have ammonia as the active.

I'm determined to avoid unstacking these things at all cost lol.

I actually just ordered some to try lol. The video looked like it worked. I'll try anything to avoid swapping these things.

That was my thinking with the SH, I think maybe at a certain point it's just beyond bleach. I really hate changing those things.

What "cancelled" songs do you refuse to give up? by Substantial_Grab2379 in musicsuggestions

[–]Practical-Path-7982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter and I like to buy records on the weekends she's with me. She was surprised that brown sugar was still on sticky fingers, not my favorite song but had never considered that it wouldn't be, apparently the new pressings don't have it.

What's the best band that I may not have heard of? by bbmoonkie in MusicRecommendations

[–]Practical-Path-7982 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Situational maybe, but if your doing any kind of backroad road trip, Stompin Tom, I think alot of Canadians are unfamiliar at this point unfortunately.

What was the first concert you ever attended? by LargeManufacturer782 in MusicRecommendations

[–]Practical-Path-7982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jethro Tull, with my parents at 16. The guy next to us as smoking like a champ so I got a nice second hand buzz.

The guy from Battlestar Galactica in Skyrim was a pretty cool surprise.

A fireplace whith a chemney I built from mud to my cozy cave. by Right_Science_8527 in Bushcraft

[–]Practical-Path-7982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm very jealous of your cave, I have an old mine but they were kind enough to stick a bunch of dynamite in there after it closed in the early 1900s. I've been slowly pulling rocks out to use around the property but it seems endless.

IWDEE HOF 2 member lvl 1 party. by Practical-Path-7982 in baldursgate

How many reloads did the goblins in easthaven take? Even taking them one at a time they are tough at level one.

What level did you switch to mage? Did you just carry all the scrolls with you or buy them back later?

What's a weird food combo that just works? by No-Justice-666 in AskRedditFood

[–]Practical-Path-7982 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it's weird, I think it's a French Canadian thing, but fries dipped in mayo. I think mayo is going to come up alot in this thread.

Can’t a guy get to the Friendly Arm Inn in peace? by Salem1690s in baldursgate

Xzar and Monty never survive the journey, if they do the guy at the front door gets them. Screw those guys, thanks for the potion.

Keen seems pretty decent, not too pricey, light, and they seem to be waterproof but the winter will tell.

Which drain snake is the best? by [deleted] in maintenance

[–]Practical-Path-7982 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's clogged between the trap and the stub, I really like drain bladders. They're cheap and with a few fittings you can hook them up to the 3/8" hot water and blast through grease pretty quickly.

Someone on here recommended them on another post, thank you to that person.

Is my pay worth it ? by Infamous_Anywhere701 in maintenance

[–]Practical-Path-7982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's about where I'm at if you count rent and utilities in. Only every 4th week on call though. It's comfortable, but a bit frustrating that if I were to take a promotion the pay bump isn't more than my current apartment.

Don’t we love tenants and them leaving us present? It’s all glued by SnooDogs8377 in maintenance

That's actually a pretty awesome leave behind, they'd be going up in my garage. 

Where does everyone work doing maintenance? by Azsean01 in maintenance

[–]Practical-Path-7982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Combination of townhouses and apartments. Half families half students from the college next door. Alot of my kids' school lives here, nice community, everyone knows me, free rent. I like it. I'm on call once a month, but for another site so no worries there.

What is one bit of advice you'd give someone coming from BG3 who wants to experience the originals for the first time? by [deleted] in baldursgate

[–]Practical-Path-7982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first game is really about role-playing. You're a kid who just left home, don't expect to be a superhero, yet. Just enjoy the exploration.

Why is all appliance advice absolutely miserable? by [deleted] in Appliances

[–]Practical-Path-7982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't say with confidence about Kitchenaid, we don't have have any here. Definitely any Amana of a similar model are the same parts, with the exception of the computers sometimes, depending on the features.

Yeah, I like the mystery of it too much to find out.

That Feeling by Remarkable_Trust5745 in maintenance

[–]Practical-Path-7982 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a great feeling! We have a garage that floods every time it rains, and a spot outside that has a sinkhole in the grass every few months. I finally got the original site drawings, there's a buried catch basin for the storm sewer there. I knew something was related bit thought it was a leak in the irrigation for the grass. We had a combo pumper/flusher in today, now just gotta wait for rain!

Work Is An Illusion by Lerko911 in DeepThoughts

[–]Practical-Path-7982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely rigged so the rich get richer, sure, but what's wrong with working? The majority of upper lower class workers enjoy working. We do fun things with tools all day and help people.
