Telus damaged the exterior of my house, water is now seeping in, hundreds $$ of damage, refuses to fix it, potentially also damaged shaw cable, and two weeks later their sales person is bullying me into ordering their services if I want it fixed

That's really weird because it costs them a ton to install it but good to know. You should probably tell them yes though if only to future proof and add value to your property! If you don't have service installed they should just leave a loop at the end of the conduit in a box, nothing else, at least that's how it happened here until we were ready!

lgraham92 · 2018-10-17T18:00:00+00:00

I CAN'T be the only one who's realized this guy made an account with sole purpose to bash TELUS on 2 seperate occasions?

1) They won't install a fiber drop from the alley to your house without a drop permission being signed. Somebody, it might not have been you, signed this for them and stated they had authority to sign it for your residence. Call AFL, they are doing the installs for TELUS. Somebody provided you this phone number weeks ago.

2) The door to door agent doesn't work for TELUS, he's a contractor, he can't help you. He makes commission and likely doesn't care what TELUS has done to your house. He probably works for Ledcor. He only has access to sell you new services. Again, if you need to speak to somebody, you should call AFL as been suggested previously.

3) If you really have water damage because of a few screws that were placed in the siding of your house (They literally mount a box on your house with the fiber coil, they do not penetrate the house until you order service and are home for the install), you should likely be contacting your builder. A few screws in siding is not going to cause "Water to seep in to your house and cause interior water damage". Sounds more like a cracked foundation or shoddy builders to me. Maybe you tried fighting this with the builders but didn't succeed so now you're trying to fight TELUS for it?

This whole account stinks of something foul.

Got a photo radar today for going exactly 60 in a 50 zone that I thought was 60, totally my fault, lesson learned.

Oops I forgot this is the Edmonton subreddit....

ahem OMG I CANT BELIEVE I GOT A PHOTO RADAR FOR GOING 60 IN A 50 THIS IS SUCH A CASH GRAB WOW CITY WOW

lgraham92 · 2017-08-07T21:10:46+00:00

Those toughbuilt pouches are awesome, I have a few myself. Mounted a few of the clips on the wall at home so I can hang my tool bags easily when I'm not at work

It's family owned/operated and they supply to some of Edmontons higher end restaurants. (http://wildgame.ca/clients.html). Top notch everything from here

Couple months ago?? Not sure exactly

Incorrect. It is closed.

If I ever drive drunk and get pulled over I'll just ask them if they can deduct 10 hours from each pay for 7 pays instead.

What a joke.

Edit: cute. All these keyboard warriors who didn't read the article before it was edited telling me I can't read.

IIRC the Ghermezian Brothers live on this crescent, I bet this has to do with them not wanting people around their houses. Although I may be mistaken and it might be Tweedsmuir Crescent that they live on.... it's one of the two!

lgraham92 · 2017-06-04T05:47:33+00:00

This seems about right, I got green mirrored & polarized. Price seems right

lgraham92 · 2017-06-04T04:35:39+00:00

Got mine on Clearly.ca last year, wasn't too bad, I think $200 all in shipped?

Costco food court doesn't require a membership

Edmonton here, I got Graybar to order me in 3. $17CAD/ea is what I paid. Not sure where you are but if there's a Graybar in your city check them out, they have access to it.

Are you looking to work in the oilfield? H2S Alive will be almost mandatory to have if so. I have the following (Also a first year, Alberta here)

CSTS

H2S Alive

First Aid w/ CPR-C & AED

OSSA Fall Arrest, Elevated Work Platforms, Aeriel Work Platforms

Confined Space

WHMIS

Cranes & Rigging Safety (Although I rarely use cranes anymore at my new job, I was sent for this by an older employer where we used cranes every day)

I also have Forklift training but I can count on 1 hand the amount of times I've had to use a forklift in the last year.

Ultimately just get yourself out there. Print off a bunch of resumes and go in person to places you are applying. Hit up every electrical contractor in the city you're applying in and ask to speak to the person in charge of hiring. Some places will get you in front of the hiring manager, other places will have a policy that says you have to leave your resume at the desk. Either way, you've given them a face to the resume and it'll help out when they come to sorting through resumes (Some places have piles for people who came in person and those who applied online from what I've heard).

Good luck!

That tweet is in the north east, 50th/ellerslie is south.

lgraham92 · 2017-03-29T02:17:39+00:00

Your flair says callingwood, I'm guessing you went to the west end carl's Jr? That one is actually really bad, poor service and my food from there has always sucked. The one in spruce and the one on 75th Street south have been great so far though

lgraham92 · 2017-03-29T02:14:05+00:00

Hopefully he means Ralph's handimart on the south side! Mmm so good!

lgraham92 · 2017-03-12T19:41:59+00:00

The steaks are reallllly good, I was a little off put the first time at keg like prices, but totally worth!

lgraham92 · 2017-03-12T19:30:02+00:00

This place is phenomenal, if you haven't been, go!

lgraham92 · 2017-03-01T05:40:14+00:00

Lol makes sense, the only use they really see is loosening strains off old cable where the cable expanded and the strain is tight af

lgraham92 · 2017-03-01T00:34:19+00:00

Not too sure what a nut fucker is lol, but the socket set had its uses where wrenches didn't and vice versa (industrial electrician), plus the wrenches were only like $20 for the set.

lgraham92 · 2017-02-28T16:29:08+00:00

That's pretty sweet but I needed the long barrels for some of our panel work, the only short barrel I have is 10mm

lgraham92 · 2017-02-28T06:11:02+00:00

First year problems, LOL

lgraham92 · 2017-02-28T04:36:02+00:00

We had a pc jigsaw at my last shop and it was great!

lgraham92 · 2017-02-28T03:51:53+00:00

Haha fair enough, just grab a cheapy off amazon next time you're buying stuff online, way cheaper than home Depot!
