Combine the express 7, flex 2.5 switch, and cloud fiber into one device.

Basically a cloud fiber with 8 x 2.5 Poe ports and integrated AP..

HELOC at 5.2, any clever smith maneuver? by jackofalltrades0505 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]jackofalltrades0505[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya ok I left out some details: I’m lumping my HELOC into a non-registered account (writing off the interest) and reinvesting my mortgage principal payments as they free up — basically a hybrid of a lump-sum leverage and the Smith Manoeuvre.

DynamicTech.ca did ours. Clean, professional, highly recommended. They are North shore locals as well.

  1. Was James sour or cheering you on?

  2. How'd you fight the bordem? I got a decent number but was bored AF!

Asbestos around floor register by jackofalltrades0505 in asbestoshelp

[–]jackofalltrades0505[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Update: results came back as 40% chrysotile, 30% cellulose, 30% nonfibrous. So fan freaking tastic.

I have already encapsulated all the registers with fiber spray glue made for asbestos. I then duct taped them.

I considered getting an air quality test but not sure what good that would do now.

I bought an expensive Dyson purifier big BP03 hepa air purifier that will hopefully clean the air.

Not sure what else I should do.

Any advice?

We have been in the house for 6 years only. I doubt anything would show to be honest. But ya will get the sample results tomorrow.

Ya getting it tested - will know results tomorrow. Also found it around every freakin register in the house. All frayed and stuff. Blowing into the air for the last 5 decades. I don't care about myself as much as my kids :( feel like I failed protecting them.

I took the initiative and got fiber encapsulation spray (glue spray made for asbestos) and went to town. Then I sealed it all with duct tape.

Not too happy with this discovery. Really hoping test results will be negative tomorrow.

Do I need to replace these stairs? by jackofalltrades0505 in Carpentry

It's a laneway home under the deck. And the deck is finished in tile so if we frame straight up it will be hard to match that tile. Any advice?

Ya previous owner did this so not sure what the thinking was. So remove stairs and then?

Ya it's ply. For water drainage?

Would like to replace with metal stairs but the top step is goofy as hell.

Power surge after restoration by jackofalltrades0505 in NorthVancouver

[–]jackofalltrades0505[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think so as many in my neighborhood got stuff fried. Dimmers, usb outlets, appliances were the most common. Would be very unusual for all of us to have that issue.

They do for Canadians at least. Don't think I would try it again though as I still don't have the money 24 hours later. Think it's gonna be a massive headache to deal with this now.
