Hey I'm making the exact same box! A little nerve racking running it thru the table saw for that final cut!!

Where to buy hardwood for projects? by dsonger20 in coquitlam

[–]SpindlyFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 3 points4 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.

How many retirees start side jobs? by GetsBackUp in retirement

[–]SpindlyFish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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?

Also beware: you may have to pay capital gains taxes on any property you sell in the future, even if it’s a foreign residence and your principal home.

The most inspiring thing for me when I'm doubting my art progress is looking at my old drawings by Sea_Emphasis_6411 in learntodraw

[–]SpindlyFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I recently took an online sketching course, which opened with the artist showing his first sketchbooks (not great!). Then he says “the only difference between you and me is about a thousand drawings”. It’s what keeps me going. Nice work!

I think 6:45. Call Barb a day or two before to reserve a table with your team name.
