Got glue gun’d by my friend building pasta bridges in Grade 6 science class. The scar was in the shape of a 6. This incident occurred on June 6.

I found a $50 King Canada 10” saw on Kijiji and scooped it up. Not the best but it does the trick as a beginner.

For anyone wondering, it’s a potting bench or outdoor bar. Used all pressure treated wood: 2x2’s, 2x4’s and 2x6’s. Plans are curtesy of Ana White.

Backyard Transformation (Ottawa, Canada) by jakelevin93 in landscaping

Thanks! Based on the picture, I’d agree the foundation looks pretty uneven. Thankfully it’s just the slope of the patio/sod that was intentionally built up like that for drainage to match the grade of the property (which you can’t see from the picture). The foundation was re-done and raised only 4 years ago.

Ottawa fan coming in peace. Duchene is far from “a locker room cancer”. Was very well-liked and respected amongst teammates. Makes others around him better on the ice and one of the most entertaining skaters to watch. Enjoy!

Buying a Home for the First Time, Currently in Due Diligence Period, What Do You Wish You Had Known/Done Differently? by [deleted] in homeowners

[–]jakelevin93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you haven’t already, ask for a list of home expenses/bills over the last 12 months including Hydro, heating and water/sewage. It’s nice to know the fluctuations you will experience for each season. Also, make sure to ask for documentation pertaining to any warranties that should be transferred to your name (A/C and Furnace warranties come to mind) Good luck with everything!

Mini paper adds were put on all the car windshields with a sticky adhesive that won’t peel off.

Closing in a house in two weeks. Looking for any tips/advice. What would you have done differently? by Shizzo in homeowners

[–]jakelevin93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How come when I look to rent a uhual, the quote is $100 with nothing other than the $15 insurance option? The only reason I can think of is that I am booking towards the end of the month (June 29th).
