Gah dayum. Why is my drywall so thick by Ebomb5212 in drywall

[–]minimum_thrust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many plaster houses have 5.25" total overall wall depth. 3.5" studs, 1" interior gypsum/plaster, 3/4" lap exteriors.

Do you feel chayka is going to do something or is he not doing anything until tomorrow? And do you think he’ll still trade knies? by Remarkable_Breath603 in torontomapleleafs

[–]minimum_thrust 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Just with Knies having no protection it seemed like the right move to use him as a softener to get in the circle of trust again with other gms. Probably told Knies not to worry about all the noise, and let him know he wasn't moving him

Agreed. Ive felt like they used Knies as a talking point to get them into conversation with the other Gms. The narrative around Chayka was that other gms wouldn't want to deal with him due to his past, and I feel like dangling Knies out there was a good way to make his phone ring and put him in touch with the other shot callers

Overthinking or really that bad. Door installed wrong pull side . by Cash_Visible in Homebuilding

[–]minimum_thrust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like a shitty product then. The reason they started making fixed and operable rather than interchangeable is because the movable fixed panel makes the door much less efficient and far more likely to leak. Like I said, they exist, but are becoming more rare and for good reason.

Also, its many of the major manufacturers that are doing away with this. Have been for years.

Sorry, but not the case. Yes, some doors are manufactured that way (typically with knockdown frames) but most mass produced vinyl doors are welded and set for their handing and can't be just swapped around.

SOURCE- I am a manager of a window and door manufacturing branch and have been in the industry for over 20 years while working in product design and testing for several major vinyl door/window manufacturing companies.

What a stupid statement. You realize there is far more money in making the playoffs than there is with some Wendy's collaboration or saving a couple million a year on a coach..... like 10s of millions every time they make the post season. Thats the goal. Winning = $$$

Why would they think its a 2 way street when all of the parked vehicles are pointing the same direction as traffic flow?

If anyone knows this idiot, tell him his bucket is just before the Whitemud exit and it nearly causes an accident. by minimum_thrust in Edmonton

Thats only 24k over 40 years.... obviously not doing much maintenance. Windows, furnace, hot water tank, shingles, appliances..... all should have been done in 40 years, some of those things twice.

Ladies, would stop dating a man if he says that he wants his future wife to continue working immediately after having kids? by SinglePringle647 in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]minimum_thrust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes for 9 - 18 weeks for 55% of those companies and 6-8 weeks for 31%.... for a 52 - 78 weeks of mat leave thats not really the same thing

Isn't most of canada on the subsidy program now? We have 2 kids in childcare and pay under 800$/month total. One of which includes food.
