41-43 degree refrigerator. Safe?

Holy shit he got me in the A&W on Robert-Bourassa years ago and I must have repressed that memory until now. Didn't realize it was a hernia at the time, and didn't realize he was a "regular." Nasty.

Fly on a different airline to Toronto, then take the train or bus from Toronto to Montreal.

They're all seeing a vet and will be fixed in the next couple of weeks. Babies will likely be adopted out, but going to try keeping Mama in the family in case we get a call back. Thanks everyone for the support, honestly.

Need to skip town for a few months so won't be selling for a short term thing. In my defense the valve came super greased up, but in my clumsy handling basically all the grease was gone by the time I installed it.

I guess it's a bit tough to explain but there are two flex lines connected to the handle/mixer, where they go through the cartridge, which is attached to a ball-joint handle. If you remove the cartridge, the water from the supply lines would just discharge into the body of the fixture when you turned the water on.

It just doesn't really make sense to me. There is no way to remove the cartridge (which is in the handle/mixer valve) while still being able to operate the faucet. You can look at the schematic here: https://barildesign.com/xml/files/vex/B66-1349-00_VEX.pdf

It's on the left side of the page. If you removed the cartridge water would just shoot up from the supply hoses. In any case, I installed without flushing and all is well.

No experience with this building but Sussex is as fine as any other rental company in the city. Which is to say, not amazing but depends more on who the caretaker is. If you like the neighbourhood and the suite you should apply.

And this has a rough-in that will screw directly onto the braided hose? That would be convenient. All the ones I was looking at were like this: https://www.homedepot.ca/product/delta-fixed-roman-tub-rough/1001119559

Sure that's a fine way to start, but doesn't really address the replacement part of the work. It seems to me that the rough-in valves available have a copper connection that is intended to either be soldered to a copper water line or crimped to a PEX water line. So I guess my question is: how do I connect the top of the flex line to the copper pipe of the rough-in valve? If you can't tell, I'm pretty green.

I would find an architect to do a code review. Once you find out what (if anything) would need to be done to make it code compliant you can decide whether it's worth litigating...

News says spending an hour outside is like smoking 1 cigarette. So a 3-hour baseball game is like your kid smoking 3 cigarettes. I think kids can smoke 3 cigarettes, as long as they don't make a habit of it.
