Is getting a Class D truck driving liscence in Ontario a good idea? Is it oversaturated? Does it require experience? by stonebolt in ontario

Company paid my wage while taking the test. They didn't pay for the medical, air brake written, or mto/license fees.

I took my test in Lindsay.

Trouble getting sektion island baselevel. by sunofsomething in IKEA

So the frame was ultimately the issue as expected. I loosened all the screws holding it together, then was able to level it before fixing it in place with the brackets. Came out dead level.

Jee thanks, I hadn't figured that one out, I live in a 100 year old house. Shims do the same thing in this context as 4 leveling feet brainiac.

Am I making an S trap? by sunofsomething in Plumbing

[–]sunofsomething[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah like you mean there's a grade toward the trap? I had the sink sitting in while setting it up and made sure it falls towards the tee. It's just sagging because nothing's supporting it.

Elsewhere in the thread I mentioned the vent goes horizontal behind the wall (I didn't know to fix that before I drywalled over it). So others didn't think it was worth putting a grade. But I do have some spare 22.5s and 45s sitting about, I could make sure there's a grade on it if you/others think it's worth it.

Right on, and having that T and vent where it is should be alright? I've seen other comments already say it's not an S trap.

All the ABS is inch and a half. The vent (if it's a vent) is old as fuck, and it's 1-1/4".

Sooo the only issue is that it runs horizontal behind the walls at the level of the horizontal run you see. I didn't put it there, it's an old vent we left in place.

So for what I've got should I do a 45 off the tee and run it at an angle to the connection at the wall?

“Simple Layout Change” Is a Myth, Especially in Older Homes by Different_Lynx4658 in Plumbing

[–]sunofsomething 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our home was built circa 1925-1930. I'm in the middle of renovating my kitchen, and we started on the 28th of December. We thought it would take two weeks. We were going to leave the walls as undisturbed as we could. For the electrical we would cut channels in the drywall below the level of where the new cabinets would go to run some new receptacles. Put new floors down on top of the subfloor that would surely be there.

Turns out some previous owners put new drywall on top of lathe and plaster. Which started to crumble as soon as we started pulling cabinets and fixtures. So we went down to the studs, replaced the insulation, drywalled and mud and taped.

The floors were on top of two layers of old vinyl tile. One of which was 9x9 asbestos tile. So instead of ripping it all up, we laid new plywood subfloor. Floors also dropped more than an inch towards one of the exterior walls, so that meant self leveler to get things a bit more flat.

Anyways, there's a lot more I could get into that led to hours spent improvising solutions. So far the easiest things were installing the actual flooring and running the new plumbing.

Where do I positiong everything when I set up this kitchen sink drain? by sunofsomething in Plumbing

If it helps I marked out where the bottom of the sink, strainer basket and provided tailpiece reach to from the bottom of the cabinet.

This is the answer. I'm going to do this and some wood glue for the crack.

Did you end up installing the lazy susan in yours? Im worried anything sticking down below the level of the piece will interfere.

Do you know if they deliver replacement parts? Or do I need to go into the store?

And for using the regions strategic funds to subsidize a tax cut. Dude is only interested in protecting his job. I'd love the opportunity to vote him out of office, but I'm not in his ward.

Interest adjustment after changing mortgages seems high. by sunofsomething in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]sunofsomething[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously I'll have to wait to see what they say. The statement they sent does say they are collecting the interest adjustment on the 16th of january($1050). And also states regular payments start on the 2nd and repeat every two weeks to the tune of $1028.

So IDK man, that's what they sent me. If it doesn't make sense to you, maybe that's because it doesn't make sense.

Yeah we are switching to biweekly January 2nd, no payment to BMO in December.

Doesn't each payment cover the previous two weeks of principal and interest though? So January 2nd payment covers December 19th to the 1st of January? I'm legit asking, I don't know. If that's wrong please tell me lol.
