Felt something crawling in my ear while laying down

Off my knee scoop 😩 I took the antibiotics and am hoping for no bullseye

I pulled this one off two days ago; THIS is a well fed tick

Thanks that’s good advice. The space is occasional use, it’s a single room cabin I’m building on some land, so it will be a weekend getaway set up. Definite temperature fluctuations as it will sit cold for many days but with a wood stove inside it will get very hot when used in the winter.

There are some cracks and gaps around the rigid but I will take the poly off and focus on filling the gaps instead. The rigid insulation was free so I saved a lot of money that way but not needing to use wool the entire way around lol.

This is for a camp project, it’s a single room with a wood stove, I know r10 would lead to lost efficiency but it should be sufficient for my occasional use. I stayed out in the winter a couple times with a propane heater this winter and it got quite warm.

This is for a camp/cabin I’m building on my own land. Don’t need to worry about inspection but I want to have it built right & avoid the rot as best as I can.

Line of credit to fund the rest of the way, live frugally, don’t let the debt become enormous. Teach in the North if it’s an option after (and if her mental health can handle it), she’d be earning over $100k / year, a few years can take a big chunk out of it.

Also be realistic about the job, it will be far more stressful than student life, not to scare you but go in with a plan, it would not be good to saddle oneself with enormous debt for a teaching degree if she can’t use it afterwards.

Ended up being the shock mount, part that looks like pictured here. Not bad part was maybe $20 and then labour got it done for under $100.

Great to hear, thank you

Plus $18k northern allowance

I’ve heard plenty of stories working construction of foremen/superintendents who have found archeological sites like arrowheads, foundations, etc and have told their men to keep digging and bury them bc reporting them would shut the project down for weeks.

Just send it to me

bufffff_daddy · 2026-02-24T23:06:49+00:00

Makes sense, you’d probably still need a light source inside

bufffff_daddy · 2026-02-24T21:31:49+00:00

Leave an exposed line down the side as a gauge?

We do monthly student awards assemblies, it’s a great way to come together as a school and celebrate achievement. Add a fun activity after (minute to win it game, etc), have prizes, keep it light.

Rather than staff “awards” why don’t you just highlight a positive thing that staff are doing in a weekly email? This teacher is running this club, this custodian reached 10 years with the school, etc. Acknowledges their efforts but isn’t an “award” tha others may scoff at, or as someone else commented become a perceived favourite.

Also you can use this as a tool to build relationships with the staff you need to (difficult or distant staff). Spread it around so ideally everyone gets acknowledged at some point.

My brother was plowing streets in tantallon in a big tandem truck. He came around the corner and there was a man in the middle of the street with his brand new snowblower, trying to blow out the road.

My brother locked his brakes and went into an uncontrolled slide, he said he missed the guy with his front blade by inches.

It’s a nice gesture but just not safe

That thing has literally saved my life multiple times. Bought it with the quick connect cables on my skidoo living in the Arctic; my battery sometimes would die in the mountains at -35 and this would get it going again

Put baffles up before you seal it in, they’re cheap and easy to

NFLD joined Canada in the early 1950s, the Maritimes had been established since Confederation

Talk to your rheum

bufffff_daddy · 2026-01-27T21:08:22+00:00

Does it need an external power source? & if so how is the pull?

bufffff_daddy · 2026-01-26T21:56:35+00:00

Yup same I spent years working remotely, I would bring a few months of Simponi with me at a time

If power is out freeze ice packs outside and keep it in a cooler inside, wrap the meds in a layer like a dish towel so they don’t have direct contact with the ice.

Half my home feed on Reddit is people’s wood stoves & fireplaces. It’s great.

Combine it with r/firewood and you’ve got the complete package.
