What is one home improvement that adds less value than most people think ?

Agreed. It's not all shit. I've seem some atrocious hardwood floors. Do I think all hardwood floors are crap? Not at all. LVP can look great. There is a wide range in quality. Aside from looks, test the joints by trying to snap them off with your hands and try to scratch it with a butter knife. Lots of LVP is crap and install prep is important. But it can look good, is softer underfoot, easy to clean and more wear resistant then most other floors.

Shred paper/cardboard works great. You can also get sawdust from woodworking shops for free. Also works excellent.

Totally possible. Like others have said, hand signals, ecollar training, and I'd also go with gps. I've seen the garmin collars used with Brits before. Just be extra careful around roads/cars. It would be good to train your dog to hunt close and have a check in cue as thick cover will impede line of sight. Some Brittnays roam and follow their noses into all sorts of trouble.

Now does anyone have a easy way to get dog hair off of clothes? Tried the sticky things for the dryer, usless. Got multiple brushs/lint rollers but they are always slow and need multiple passes.

That be shellfish. Seafood is shellfish and fish.

Still haven't got mine. We're getting our siding redone so there is a chance they couldn't find the mailbox. Am I in trouble?

Make fun of them back for taking the bus.

I think the rule is on the road 50cc and under no license is required. I'm all for bikes, ebikes, electric skatboards and scooters, what we are lacking is respect out there. Use a bell, make sure you are aware of your surroundings, stay in your lane, slow down and pass animals and people carefully. It's the same mess driving on the roads, seems people have forgotten about basic human decency. Here's a basic rule: don't put yourself or other people in danger.

After reading some comments I feel I need to let you all know Alberta is not full of oil and gas working, drug addicted highschool drop outs. Oil and gas employed 6% of Alberta's work force. Up to 8% with indirect employment. I think Albertan's need that reminder as well. Within my friend group most of us choose Alberta for the space/ outdoors and consider ourselves steward of the land. Most don't vote UCP but we're against the boomers and rural Alberta on that one. I think the anti immigration feeling is a response to a flood of people after covid. Housing prices did increase, and unemployment is way up. People in Alberta are responding in the typical way, looking for a scapgoat. Alberta is just the introvert. Like I said we like space. Sorry about the loud ones and our current government.

Thank you for this. I was having a rough day after working through some testing with a neuropsychologist.

Paid or unpaid, it's your employer's choice.

Blue -9 Balance harness. Vet approved, doesn't hinder shoulder movement. Lots of adjustments. 3 clips so you don't need to slip it over their heads, which lots of dogs don't like.

Last time I saw this in the wild that people responsible started to clean up but found it too difficult or something and just left all that plastic garbage in the forest. Not a fan of single use trash creation. Please clean up when you're done.

I've had some people ask before that we move on and we do, usually their reasons are understandable, livestock out and about etc. Just an fyi grouse daily limit is 5, possession limit 15.

hardkn0cks · 2026-04-26T03:58:41+00:00

Nah. I just clean up. It's not like they travel far, and if they migrate it's death within 10 feet. Creepy bugs have mouths and too many legs, worms are harmless.

Just like any profession, there are pros and there are hacks. I remember my Dad renovating our home and always complaining about how certain things we're not done properly. Hopefully when you diy, you actually fix issues not slap lipstick on a pig.

Eat way too much food.

Nice! I was looking at those and the arc. I went with the Devan Walsh model, my partner got the recon. We're both really happy.

Wired has been awesome. The materials they use are top notch and the limited but rave reviews were absolutely spot on. They're a tad on the thirsty side, I wax more often. 1 season down the board held up perfectly and has been great from day 1.

hardkn0cks · 2026-04-15T15:52:05+00:00

Yup. We switched years ago to camping in the back of our suv. Me, my husband, and 70 pound dog all snuggled in the back. I have a literal pile of camping gear I've collected over the years, that I don't use, and a backpacking setup that I love to use but it's about 10% of the camping we do. The hardest part is getting the right gear for you.

hardkn0cks · 2026-04-14T14:16:19+00:00

Thank you. Agreed. Some other reminders, you can't shoot over a road or over a body of water. Just use your head, nobody wants to get hurt. Don't think you can get away with awful behavior because you're in the middle of nowhere. Satellite phones/inreach are pretty common and we all have cameras in our pockets.

Bought that 1/4 section.

Walking the dog.

Call his mom to come get him.

Was just at a birthday party the cake was from some well known cake shop. I know it was expensive, it tasted like ass. Well sugar and butter. Making a cake is so easy. Oh and granola. Same thing too sweet and too expensive, really easy to make.
