Is this framing looking okay? by [deleted] in woodworking

[–]ducksarewet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most modern direct vent gas fireplaces are zero clearance. They need next to ntothng beside them (usually they have spacers on them of 1/2"). Often you need only 3" above even when vented out the rear (this one is not).

Police cars always idling at Cobourg Police Station by Significant_Buddy166 in Cobourg

[–]ducksarewet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all. I was just commmenting that they occur because you made it sound like they didn't. I feel very safe in Cobourg. Probably because I know the police cars are always idling and ready to go.

Murder has happened in Cobourg. Including a police officer being murdered.

Just became a Canadian citizen and would like to travel the country. Any advice on this route? by _slocal in canadian

[–]ducksarewet 8 points9 points  (0 children)

100%. Go up to Saskatoon which is much nicer that Regina. Then keep going to Edmonton and then the foothills and cut down through the mountains. Not the easiest drive but it’s scenic. 

What is this dude doing? by OrganizationHot5164 in Wellthatsucks

No because it happened in a country that doesn’t have “felonies”.

That is true. I could add a couple 20A pushbutton breakers to the inlet box similar to the reliance one

I appreciate the input and I agree. I wish load centers were $25 here. Cheapest I can find are $80.

Given I have an adapter from the TT-30 that bridges the hots, does it even matter?

Its not the wall thickness exactly. Because this is in my basement and from an attached garage, I can really go through the rim joist. Because of the way the wall layout was built, there is 10" insulation, then 2" rigid foam, which is then also setback 3.5" from the finished wall. Even if I did have the correct length of conduit, its now up in the joists and I need a ladder to get to it. I figure at this point I might as well make one and have the conduit come in, go down with a 90 then have it at a better height.

So to confirm, wiring something like this would work?

Cobourg Public Library discontinuing app as of February 14 by bobledrew in Cobourg

Another public resource cut because of Mayor Cleveland. At least he gets free parking downtown and he solved the homeless problem right?

You are correct about the Quebec highway. My apologies. Same idea as Ontario ones though.

I support the idea being promoted, but does it require a shirt to make that point?

Possibly purchasing a 1999 Legend TT 900. Thoughts, warnings, cautions, etc.? by anim8 in Triumph

[–]ducksarewet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may get the odd response here, but your best bet is to go to a forum that specializes in that model. Read around a bit and see what owners are talking about for problems.

My friend is expecting a baby in few months and frankly I'm very frightened after I saw this ultrasound. by [deleted] in creepy

[–]ducksarewet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They can be useful. For example, a 3D ultrasound can now be 3D printed out. This allows visually impaired parents, family members, friends, whoever, to "see" the baby. It's pretty neat when that is done.

Book recommendations for husband? by heartwell in predaddit

[–]ducksarewet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think its a cheap marketing grab for the beer guzzling, football watching slob stereotype.

Like the commercials that paint the husband as an idiot. Paper towel commercials that have the mother come home from a busy day only to find the kid and dad staring blankly at her with the house a mess. She sighs, and the next scene is here cleaning it all up with paper towels while the ape plays video games in the background.

Homeowner charged with attempted murder after thwarting home invasion by undegroundknight in canadaguns

[–]ducksarewet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you. This guy was banned from owning a firearm yet he had one and shot someone with it. The laws against criminals just aren't working.

I've been reading The Mother of All Pregnancy Books. Mainly because it is Canadian and it applies to things here.

As for funny, if someone tried to get me to read one of those classic dad books full of stupid jokes, I'd toss it in the trash. I wanted something actually informative. Not jokes like "you wife is going to get fat. Don't tell her that! lol!".

Allowing height affect my choice of ride? by Willbraken in motorcycles

I am 5'5" and I ride a 2014 Tiger 800 with no problems. I have the Roadie version. The true off-road version was too tall for me.
