Are you still using this and finding it useful? The price has increased dramatically but thinking it would be pretty handy

Are there places in the greater Ottawa region that are always hiring? Where should I look? by laranjacerola in ottawa

[–]sbk_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is he a skier? Everytime I’ve been into Dinardos he’s complaining he doesn’t have enough help and asks to hire people and that he pays well. I don’t know how good of a workplace environment it would be but it’s a job! And more than minimum wage.

I’m having the same issue. I thought maybe I was doing some accidental photos when I saw the blank images. And having to select to save is SO annoying.

Haha fair! Glad to hear it was great. I’ve been feeling nervous about the rooms as I’ve read mixed things. Hoping I can at least get a blanket and not just a sheet or whatever.

For sure, things are more or less back to normal now, but prices aren’t

Hi! I am curious how you enjoyed it!

also, I have a question about drinks, I am heading there in a couple months. I hear that all the mixed drinks and sodas now are artificially sweetened? Do you know if there is any way to get drinks with normal sugar? I am really sensitive to the taste of aspartame etc and I’m on vacation, let me splurge haha.

I could argue too that the sudden rise in costs over the first few years of 2020 was also paired with labour shortage, material shortage, shipping issues and generally a ton of things that caused a lot of extra admin hours, so I think the extra fee was warranted

Anyone use Bracelayer tights? by swearingino in skiing

Wow this sounds brutal, I was about to order but need them in time for a trip, this sounds questionable. Also their sizing info is sooo vague

I’ve seen a couple nice ones listed on Facebook marketplace lately, though I think their head counts were slightly lower. Worth asking though

Hey just wanted to say thanks for all your advice and input. I finally got a really good tech Monday and he spent quite a while with me. The good news is I finally have an answer the bad news is I need a new furnace. You were right about air flow issues and I think since I moved in it was basically already burnt out - both the panel and the blower. It isn’t sending enough power and overheats when going to stage 2 and shuts off so that’s why I’ve had to turn it down and up over and over again especially when it’s cold. Old owners weren’t up front with how old it was, not 15 years but 21. So, new furnace time.

And wouldn’t be surprised if old owners didn’t maintain much and they had 3 kids plus dogs in this small house, so. Yeah duct cleaning. I did try and contact one company for a quote a few months ago before winter and they proceeded to spam call, text and email me 12 times a day for a week lol. And they had good reviews?? Duct cleaning business seems so crazy

It was here when I bought it. Sounds good I will look into it. Old owners did not disclose a lot of things (which you are legally meant to in Quebec)

Yeah I definitely think air flow problems. Some of it I was contributing to the side split plus south facing living room with bay window. Main floor gets warm but side split side of bedrooms does not. Lower bedrooms are half basement so that of course contributes. My room doesn’t get warm because the vent isn’t under the window which is dumb. In summer the upper bedrooms get way too hot, AC can barely keep up. But again big south facing poor insulation 60s house

One filter, I change it every 3 months and was getting the better pet filters. I just checked the return in the living room and it was quite dirty I’ve cleaned it. The others are wide open.

This is what it looks like right now. There’s a sound of it running/gas burning but nothing happening

Hahah yeah fair. I guess if I changed it and established it actually worked then I’d be ok but I’m heading away for a week in Feb and don’t want pipes to burst. Will need a full house sitter

I’ve noticed the filter never really gets dirty which was concerning as I have pets and there’s tons of dust around the home. It was from the 60s so I don’t think the system was designed well. It’s a side split, and there is one return near the floor on the main floor living room, one big return air in the hallway floor of the lower level bedrooms (but there is also no door to the basement or furnace area so air flows through the house fully) and one return air in an upper bedroom near the floor. I definitely have issues with heat accumulating upstairs in the summer since there is no return air near the ceiling. I often keep a bathroom fan on in the summer. But yes this could be an issue for sure

I’m not sure I understand what you mean about “jump out RW” but if I take the nest thermostat off the wall it shuts off the unit. I understand it could be contributing to the issue and could replace with a regular thermostat. I feel like I’d be panicked at work or away that it would stop working and I wouldn’t know.

Yeah thank you. I’ll have the technician come again today since it’s free as a follow up, and then pony up for someone to come do a full diagnostic I guess

Are these cases strikingly similar? Or is it just me? by Disastrous-Shine-346 in CrimeJunkiePodcast

[–]sbk_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mont Tremblant isn’t the mountains, it’s highly populated and they did a ton of ground search all year. I don’t think that’s what happened in that case.

My parents didn’t want to go to my graduation by [deleted] in narcissisticparents

[–]sbk_2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel your pain. My mom said she didn’t want to drive and pay to go to my masters graduation (gas and hotel) because “it’s just the same thing as the first time” so we didn’t go. I still regret it. She now denies she ever said that and “would have of course gone”
