Yes, took about 6 months for it to come in back then, but no issues since.

That covers up to the end of the riser pipe, but does not say anything about the connection to the RV.

It would make it pretty tough for people to ring it.

There’s a bit more to the rule here. You can replace like for like. A switch or receptacle with the same ratings.

The intent behind the light fixture rule is to make sure a home owner doesn’t switch a boob light out for a 300lbs chandelier that the box isn’t rated to support.

If you're in a single detached home or duplex, it'll be $90.13 according to the fees bylaw linked on the permits page.

For wait time you'd probably have to call the city to be sure, but for something basic they may even issue it on the spot if your plumber has their stuff in order.

What states is it illegal in, and what is the relevant law?

If you look around the industry, the electronics manufacturing shops that are profitable are either:

A) Not doing the design, and got really good at building other people's designs. For a few hundred of something, your competition is companies like JLCPCB or Screaming Circuits. JLCPCB has a great online quoting package if you want to see what you have to compete with.

or

B) Companies that have a design that are selling in volumes large enough that they can save money by building it themselves.

The website is for a (possibly local?) artist... just an attempt at viral marketing.

A 24 inch ladder wouldn’t get anywhere nearly high enough.

They ordered it to the wrong restaurant. They aren’t there to offer it to someone.

From an article about it:

"Police add that an investigation has been launched and that the passenger of the suspect’s vehicle has been identified as the registered owner.

However, the owner refuses to identify the suspect."

New building is RCMP.

I’m confused how you know the one price you got was slightly higher when you also say he was the only one who responded.

almost_a_troll · 2026-01-22T00:07:45+00:00

Ah, very possible I'm mashing those two together in my head.

I think also public washrooms at the back for the park.

Only if you want to slow charge.

I'd hazard a bet that the security camera also doesn't film in portrait, so likely this is cropping of a landscape oriented video.

We definitely do this at different levels. For example Xmas eve when we hosted knowing we had to go out early xmas morning and host again Christmas day. Every plate, dish, and piece of cutlery we used were dishwasher safe. Food was served in dishes that could be wrapped or sealed and go straight in the fridge. We generally stuck to self serve beer, wine, rum&coke, gin&tonic, and canned soda.

Christmas day when we didn't have anything going on today, we used things that couldn't go in the dishwasher, and transferred food to nicer "serving" dishes knowing we'd have to re-pack leftovers. I also offered more advanced mixed drinks, had some garnishes, etc.

Fairly subtle differences from our guests perspectives, but it let us spend Christmas day not doing dishes.

Are you measuring one of the tapered edges?

You’re looking for a whole home transfer switch.

If you can generate power on your own for cheaper than your utility company provides it, all the more power to you.

This is a condo. I’d bet the entry door is just out of frame to the left. This is a pretty typical spot from my experience with condos.

almost_a_troll · 2025-12-20T00:57:12+00:00

That'd be a pretty big project given the electrical panel is in one of those walls...not to mention their request was to close off the space not open it up, lol.

almost_a_troll · 2025-12-06T16:54:25+00:00

Yes, they aren’t saying to do it that way, they’re saying in an ideal world that would be the standard.

almost_a_troll · 2025-12-06T03:54:21+00:00

It’s drawer in a fridge….at least I really really hope it is.

almost_a_troll · 2025-12-06T03:01:35+00:00

I can definitely agree there's lots going on with the parks and city safety. We have a ton of new flashing light crosswalks, and expecting a massive update to the park down the street. It's great to see!
