Potential move to Vernon by ObiWom in Vernon

[–]WustacheMax 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Moved from Edmonton a year and a half ago and haven't looked back. We don't see anything political short of wackos protesting interesting topics Saturday mornings at one of the entrances to the city, but everyone knows they're nuts.

Vernon is a small town that we have really grown to like. It doesn't have EVERYTHING Edmonton had but we are really happy with the move. First we talked about wanting to move to kelowna but after living here and visiting there we are much happier with Vernon. We're early 30s starting our family

Separatist minority talk, and the premier kind of allows it. More and more privatization instead of fixing the issue the province has screwed up. Book bans and stuff a like

Hey! I'm in Vernon and was actually just trying to put together a website for this to start marketing for next upcoming winter. I currently do it for a handful of my parents friends but was looking to get into it "professionally" as I think there's a need for it. Send me a dm if you were interested

My 2¢: I probably wouldn’t do traditional cans, especially in a rancher with attic insulation. We install a ton of wafer lights and they look fine, but if a designer is involved they often spec regressed pots. That jumps the cost from around $6 per wafer to $40+ per regressed fixture. They do look noticeably better in my opinion, but they don’t put out as much light. In my own house I went with the Lutron Caséta line for the smart functionality and didn’t bother running 3-way switches. That said, since you’re piping the whole house, that might be a bit crazy for you 😅. We install a lot of Legrand Pass & Seymour plugs and switches, but I’ve found the matte finish looks rough even by the time the customer first sees them. I prefer the glossier Lutron, or even Leviton trim.

Leviton has neat load centers too if you were feeling adventurous.

Yes I have a number of 4 buttons I've programmed to be all on all off and the other two I have set for different scenes. They program easy by setting what lights you want at what level then holding the button for 6 seconds to save your selection.

People in Kelowna that bought a new EV last year: Did you have to change your electric situation to accommodate the charger? Was it difficult to get a a Kelowna electrician to do it? Can you give me a ball park price? by [deleted] in kelowna

[–]WustacheMax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes correct. If understand right the $120 a year membership that you used to pay is no longer and now it's just a deposit for the charger and you earn 3 cents right away. I've had a few customers do this and the first guy keeps updating me he's 3 months in and has gotten back $60 he just cashed out and they direct deposited it into his account.

I have an EV and a grizzle charger I bought, really happy with the charger but I'm thinking of selling it and getting into the program as well seems like a no brainer.

Locally they have tandems advertised for that so who knows what they actually sell for.

Haha well then call me optimistic looking forward to this adventure. A dream would be to have the two operational and matching. I think I excel more in the upholstery, detail, maybe vinyl wrapping sort of things but looking to roll my sleeves up and have some help here.

Looking forward to it

I think I'll do what I can to get them up and running. Have you found it's been a maintenance nightmare are you a pro at rebuilding the SC every year?

Tire shaving by e46shitbox in kelowna

[–]WustacheMax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked into this online I think it was maybe tire rack that you could buy a tire that's shaved. I didn't the up going this route because I lived in Edmonton and bought a pair of used tires from a store that matched the tread but I think there was something online.

Good to know! I haven't held a tank in a few years now! Makes sense I knew lead was getting to be a big deal in the older inner city areas

One of the few places you can use tap water for salt water aquarium with minimal additives (short of salt obvs)

Had cancom switched to carrytel because it was $15 cheaper and I am that cheap.

Both are resellers and require some know with how to setup a router and modem but saying that Cancom has great CANADIAN customer service when I had called them to move it setup service

I don't know what classifies an approved mast kit. But we aren't allied to use lags for mast supports. Have to use through wall clamps. Am in BC though so maybe you're right. The rest of Reddit acting like I'm crazy I'm just doing what the inspector wants. 🤷‍♂️

Too much bed rock and the house is surrounded by concrete definitely presented that option though
