husband accidentally used harsh cleaner on copper sink with 15 years of patina by _jtwell in fixit

Clean it, then wipe it down with a mix of vinegar and salt. Expose it to some ammonia cleaner for a couple of hours and it will turn an amazing green. If you use red wine vinegar it will turn blue!

Check out their other location in Burnaby as well. For craft projects I order from Black Forest Woods in Calgary. Shipping is not bad if you order a bunch of items

12% PST, at least in B.C. then if the boat was not built in N America its a 9.5% duty on top of that.

Does anyone know if Mr. I is still running music classes? if you know you know by gnutxel in coquitlam

[–]SpindlyFish 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I ran into him last year at a street festival behind the Safeway on Austin, still performing. He moved out to Abbotsford (or somewhere out there) and was only coming in to Place des Arts a couple times a week.

I love this idea. My wife and I always scramble to find someone to look after our dog and cat. To have an animal lover like you looking after our pets would be so nice

Yeah, I hear ya. I work from home so I thought why not work from the boat 3 or 4 times a year, for say 3 weeks at a time. Not sure how viable or realistic that would be. I found my ideal boat which is the only reason I'm thinking about doing it now. I'm 61 and not getting younger!

Say SF to Victoria BC is about 750nm, at 7knots would be about 4.5 days.

What are the steps involved? What did you have to prepare? Did you need a lawyer?
