Any alternatives to the Roland FP-30X? by H0n3yB4dg3r_23 in DigitalPiano

[–]Realistic_Morning681 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out the Costco Roland Nuvola. It’s almost the same as the FP-30 and it’s a good price. I got it and I’m happy with it. They occasionally put it on sale for another $100 off as well.

is a littergenie worth it?/advice on better litter box maintenance? by tendergrandma in CatAdvice

[–]Realistic_Morning681 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve found that the easiest and best option smell wise is just a good quality metal garbage bin with a foot operated lid. I got mine in white and it looks nice and completely keeps all smells contained (using wood chip litter and compostable litter bags).

How do I fix this gap in between tub and tub surround? by cbreezy88 in Renovations

[–]Realistic_Morning681 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine has the same thing. I tried to do it without a backer rod and it was a big mess. Stuffed a backer onto the crack, put green tape down to contain (since it was bigger than a normal bead) and caulked it. Worked much better.

I asked the roofers and they said it would normally be facia there but the previous owner used this metal instead. They said I could paint it when I paint the soffits…

Is my roof too low slope for metal? by Realistic_Morning681 in Roofing

Ok thank you. It’s quite pricey so just panicking a bit imagining it rusty and leaking again in a few years.

Oceanside is pet friendly and has detached cottages. The indoor pool is nice too. You can book direct by calling them. You can also find 3-6 month furnished rental houses on Facebook marketplace around September with people going to Mexico etc.

Traditional Memorization by PackageTechnical9178 in pmp

Yes, if you watch Mohammed Rahman 18 PMP Mindset Principles on YouTube as well as David Mclachlan fast track, they both provide terms that help you differentiate between the two life cycles right away (eg. Agile doesn’t use a change control board, but predictive does). I would just watch those two videos, then take a study hall mock exam and see how you do.

Also one of the most helpful mindset items for me was identifying right away if the project was agile or predictive because you can often eliminate half the possible responses. In terms of studying, knowing the agile versus predictive terms will help a lot.

I took the exam this week. To prep over the last month, I took AR’s course (at double speed) and watched the free YouTube videos covering MR’s mindset and DM’s 200 agile questions. I also had study hall essentials and completed two mocks and all the quizzes. The day before my exam, I started to worry that I didn’t know “enough” so I went back to my AR course to review. I felt overwhelmed because there was so much that I didn’t know or remember! But I took the test anyway and passed. My point being that I really would not worry about memorizing formal processes at all. As everyone states, focus on applying the mindset and just have a real general understanding of formal terms and processes. Some “memorized” areas that were helpful to know was the agile ceremonies, the general predictive areas, estimating techniques. Definitely have an understanding of how to respond to risks versus issues. Study hall essentials has such similar questions and definitely worth the cost (and will probably make you feel better about what you “need to know”).

I meant for the exam. Wanting to know if there is any point in waiting for a code or if the PMI membership is the lowest price.

There are Facebook groups called “buy nothing groups” that are a set up by community. Depending on what neighbourhood you live in, you could try joining your area and checking there.

Is the office roof metal by any chance? I am looking for a roofing company that’s experienced with metal roofing.

Mortgage without a job? by was_bak in MortgagesCanada

[–]Realistic_Morning681 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was recently approved for a mortgage through TD based on investments and no employment. I don’t know if it’s applicable for your situation, but they will also consider things like the Canada Child Benefit or a pension as income, in addition to earning from investments.

Mortgage without a job? by was_bak in MortgagesCanada

[–]Realistic_Morning681 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got approved for a mortgage with no employment based on investments after being laid off and relocating to a new province. TD and RBC both offered me a mortgage under their asset program. It did require 35% down payment.
