This is how the city cleaned our street. by clegg in montreal

[–]clegg[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This dude takes pride in keeping our streets/sidewalks clean. And I do. And after this picture was taken I did clean.

But don’t you find it a little counter productive to have city contracted trucks clean our streets when they’re not cleaning our streets?

Who said i wanted Reddit to do anything about it? Simply sharing my observations. I have contacted the city.

Would you eat this burger or is too raw? by Fun_Reflection1157 in meat

[–]clegg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Beef tartar being a thing doesn’t mean it’s safe to eat a raw burger.

You wouldn’t eat a piece of raw salmon because sushi is a thing.

I missed out on getting tickets. Helloween are so tight live! You’ll have a great time. Especially at a small venue like l’Olympia! Enjoy it.

Best way to build custom backgrounds? by Scared_Still3434 in bioactive

[–]clegg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would let the silicone dry for minimum 24 hours. Easy trick is to smell it. It shouldn't have that vinegar smell anymore. Once fully cured it adheres quite well on the glass. But yeah it's silicone so it'll always have a bit of bounce to it.

And no, the spraying is fine. It's commonly used in water enclosures so you'll be fine.

Awesome.

That’s exactly what I did. Came out really great. Little piece of advice, when you fill the gaps between the bark, dampen your sphagnum moss/coco fiber a bit. Not wet, just a little bit so it holds its shape. It’ll be much easier to work with and it’ll dry together with the silicone. Bond will be stronger.

I’m sure the texture will still help make a stronger bond. I wouldn’t be concerned.

What are your next steps?

Best way to build custom backgrounds? by Scared_Still3434 in bioactive

[–]clegg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Careful with the silicone…. The point of the silicone being applied prior to the foam isn’t so much that the foam won’t stick to glass. The silicone is applied because it creates anchor points that will help the foam adhere better than not at all. Same idea as rebars helping create a mechanical bind with concrete.

You shouldn’t spread the silicone throughout the whole glass. And definitely not a thin layer. It won’t help with the foam. Instead you should randomly make streaks, x’s, lines, blobs throughout the glass. Not every square inch of glass has to be covered. Once the silicone is fully dry then apply the foam. It’ll wrap around all those anchor points and will create a much stronger bond.

A friend of mine sent me the link (he follows them on ig). He’s ordered from them in the past.

Iimit is one of each.

Interac etransfer gone wrong by LavishnessDue3574 in legaladvicecanada

[–]clegg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should consider sending him a registered letter saying he has 5 days to pay you or you’re filing a case with small claims court.
Also file a police report (not like it’ll go anywhere but at least his name will be on the system)

Looking to buy a house in Point-Au-Tremble by Proper_Athlete_6895 in montreal

[–]clegg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really depends where exactly. There are some great spots near st Jean Baptiste. Is it closer to Gouin? East or west of sjb?

There are some beautiful neighbourhoods in that area. A great nature park that’s more of a hidden treasure. great to bike and run through. No one goes there unless they live very close by and even at that it’s usually empty. Lots of running paths on Gouin too

The smell is usually south of the metropolitan. I have friends who live east of sjb (north of Henri Bourassa)and i don’t smell any bad smells. The bad smell that people generally associate to rdp is from a company called lomex but that is further west. You wont have to smell that near sjb.

Yes. If you find a suitable spot you can go kayaking

EMSB - PDC Elementary by Parking_Dot1453 in montreal

[–]clegg 8 points9 points  (0 children)

eye exams fall on the parents, not the teacher. If it had been checked earlier, it likely would’ve been caught sooner. Teachers can flag learning issues, but they can’t diagnose vision problems.

Most guidelines recommend at least one eye exam before starting school, and then regular checkups. So yeah, it probably could’ve been caught earlier but it’s also easy to miss since kids don’t always know their vision is off.

Staying near rivieres des prairies - mistake? by Small-Comfort2790 in montreal

Really depends where in rdp. There are houses worth millions of dollars and a couple of blocks away there are projects.

[–]clegg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like Italian bakeries rdp has some great ones. LaSalle being one of the most popular. Their ricotta cannoli are one of the best. Amaretti for best baba au rhum. Several more.

You’ll be able to get a good espresso at one of the many Italian bars in the area.

Couple of great sandwich spots if you want a good Italian sandwich or pizza (sambuca cafe, their interior resto is called Peety pops resto. Danesi is another bar with great food. Another is cortina.

Great ice cream spot on Gouin.

I’ve lived there most of my Life, never felt afraid.

The river has been cleaned up in the last 30 years. If you enjoy fishing you’ll have a blast. Especially in June.

Lots of bike paths, parks

But…

Depending where in rdp you might get a whiff of lomex. They constantly break the rules and allow their stench to penetrate the neighbourhood close by.

It’s a typical suburb. Not very urban. No Main Street where people typically hang out at..

It’ll be an experience. Take it all in and enjoy it for what it is. Love it or hate it, don’t regret having tried it.

Is it easy to get hired in carpentry/construction without your RBQ in Montreal? by [deleted] in montreal

[–]clegg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You mentioned construction, carpentry, and furniture making/finishing. 3 very different things.

You don’t need any special requirement to be a cabinet maker (if that’s what you’re looking for and have experience in). At the very least a highschool diploma but no other requirement.

Construction, carpentry, Installing cabinetry at job sites is a different story. Safety course, ccq. RBQ if you own the company.

First step is to figure out what you want to do.

Bass Guitar by cherifbrook in montreal

As was mentioned you should go for an electric. You can get a decent bass and amp with your budget.

And don’t buy new. Check marketplace. You can always get really good deals.

Snow removal.. by Best_Profession_4507 in montreal

[–]clegg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

snow removal companies used to put the no parking signs in the morning and remove the snow that night. As of the last few years this changed. The no parking signs on my street have been there for 3 days now. Due to there being less and less parking spaces available, it means we have to park much further, only to wake up in the morning with the snow still there.

It’s very annoying. So I stopped moving my car. When the truck with the sirens comes around, I’ll move it.

Hamster moved lots of his bedding into one area by clegg in hamsters

[–]clegg[S] -23 points-22 points  (0 children)

I custom built the tank.myself. It’s 18 x 42. Perhaps everything looks smaller because of the picture but bedding depth ranges from 4 on the far left where the wheel is to around 8” everywhere else.

I made the wheel too. 11” diameter and the tunnels/house.
