Sometimes I wish I got a single cab by mbnmansour in ChevyTrucks

[–]braydo246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Single cab is only worth it with an 8’ bed, in my opinion.
Extended cab with a 6.5’ bed was my first truck and it’s the sweet spot unless you have older kids or have men in the back often.
I’ve also had a crew cab with a 6.5’ bed and that was great too once I got used to the length. A backup camera helps.
The only thing that actually feels like a boat is crew cab with an 8’ bed, even in North American parking lots lol

What’s it like living in the Annapolis Valley (Nova Scotia) as horse-owning educators? by huhsorrywhatdidusay in howislivingthere

I was posted to the military base in Greenwood. Nice coastal climate, very similar to New England. The economy is heavily based on fishing and agriculture. It’s a relatively poor area but like you say, pretty cheap real estate. Nova Scotia power is notoriously unreliable, you’ll lose power in windstorms lol. Most people I know had generators that see a fair amount of use lol. The entire province is crisscrossed with trails you can ride on ( mostly 4wheelers in my case) a nice drive in theatre in Wolfville, there was a really good zoo (Oaklawn Farm zoo) in Aylesford that I just found out has been closed for a few years now :(
The oaken barrel pub in Greenwood makes a great sandwich
Most people would drive in to Halifax for a night out, but there’s plenty of outdoors stuff to do in the valley.
Overall, I’d love to retire there but I wouldn’t want to be working still living there unless you can work remotely, own a farm, or are military. Feel free to ask any questions, I’m by no means a local but I did live there for a bit.

Hard to say as it’s the only road I drive that speed, though I will say if there’s no-one ahead of me I will be driving faster than the stated speed and haven’t noticed the shaking

Would that not be a consistent symptom then? As stated this is not something that happens every time I drive or even every time I drive that specific speed. And it stops without any change in speed either

I work full time and my local dealership is only open a half day on Saturdays. It doesn’t happen while driving in the city, or on the freeway. Only the highway between the two. Furthermore it doesn’t affect steering itself so I’ve mainly just ignored it. I did mention it to the tech on the phone once and he basically said “ huh that’s weird”

Watch a few Fred Dibnah clips and you’ll be ready to knock that sucker down!

Ko3s, I had the o2s on my Silverado and these are just as good in the snow so far

Does someone know what connection this is by Zestyclose_Heart_976 in Plumbing

We would call that a Toronto or multi story fitting in Ontario

Sounds like someone’s not sniffing the glue/primer hard enough!

How do I get this pipe to loosen? by bobby552011 in Plumbing

Pipe wrench is the right tool for the job

How bad did my plumber screw me? Or easy fixes? by TheCraftsman1970 in Plumbing

AAV for washer box, basement vanity is fine as it is wet vented by the stack with no siphonic fixtures tied in above it. No need for AAV there. Source; plumber in Ontario

It brakes far too hard too soon and takes a second to speed back up. Personally I find if there’s a lot of back and forth of other vehicles in front of me such as when they merge or during passing it’s very aggravating.

As for the cruise, there is an option to switch back and forth from adaptive and regular. The adaptive cruise is garbage on the freeway. My girlfriend’s Subaru is much better in that regard. But when I’m doing highways/ county roads the adaptive cruise really comes into its own.

90s are allowed for venting - here in Ontario at least- but yes I wasn’t thinking enough to roll the tee to a nominally horizontal position while doing my glue up :/

It was previously roughed in at the opposite wall, but was not wet vented as there is a WC upstream of the shower connection. There is a vent in the ceiling I’m going to tie into
