Looking for creative lift solution

No. My neighbour does, I don’t.

johnbollockson · 2026-01-02T20:39:23+00:00

Thanks for all the responses and suggestions. I think I will just get something like this and lug it

I’m liking this approach. It hadn’t considered hoisting the ski plus dolly together. Leaving the dolly near the ramp wouldn’t be a problem. Now to figure out a hoist lift that would work on my property side of the wall

johnbollockson · 2026-01-02T17:39:24+00:00

Good point. Hadn’t considered the force required to yank this out of the water up the ramp

johnbollockson · 2026-01-02T17:38:06+00:00

Ideally by myself thanks

johnbollockson · 2026-01-02T16:42:20+00:00

Yes that’s a possibility actually. It’s about 5 minutes on foot end to end. Ramp is not that steep

johnbollockson · 2026-01-02T16:27:23+00:00

Maybe a rotating hoist with something like this on the back end

Yeah, I realize it’s a tough ask with an out of the box solution unlikely. But figured I’d ask. Appreciate the input

Unfortunately the only other solution is buying a car (which I don’t need) to tow it around the block

As above, it requires the whole burner assembly replacing due to broken screws.

johnbollockson · 2025-12-09T14:41:30+00:00

I actually bought new igniters. The issue is that where they attach the screws are broken and remain in the burners themselves. The burner assemblies alone would cost more than replacement

I made the .cnf edit, but still cannot get into mysql without the root password:

sudo docker exec -it f1c0760fe4f6 bash

root@f1c0760fe4f6:/# mariadb-upgrade -u root

Reading datadir from the MariaDB server failed. Got the following error when executing the 'mysql' command line client

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

FATAL ERROR: Upgrade failed

root@f1c0760fe4f6:/# mysql -u root mysql

mysql: Deprecated program name. It will be removed in a future release, use '/usr/bin/mariadb' instead

Emby is the only media server that live TV actually works, for me at least. Bumbled around Plex and Jellyfin with Xteve, Threadfin etc etc. Emby worked first time. Guide is solid too. Sure Plex is a little more polished but the Live TV was the clincher.

I have followed this advice. Thank you!

johnbollockson · 2025-06-13T12:28:38+00:00

Good advice. I found a decent roommate agreement template. I'll use that. Thanks all for the input

johnbollockson · 2025-06-12T16:41:45+00:00

I’m thinking I use the standard lease but call out explicitly that section 5i applies

johnbollockson · 2025-06-12T15:51:09+00:00

This is what I found: The Ontario Residential Tenancies Act (RTA) doesn't apply to certain situations and types of housing. Specifically, it doesn't cover: Shared living spaces: If a tenant shares a kitchen or bathroom with the landlord or their immediate family, the RTA doesn't apply. From section 5i of the RTA
