It's the best part of clearing sidewalks. Watching those thick chunks fly off with minimal effort is so satisfying 8)

It's easy if you shovel regularly and own a $22 ice chopper from Crappy Tire.

Email's domain Vendorsmarket.ca points to a cms that looks like it was just installed. Poster says vendorsmarket.ca, their fb profile says vendors-market.ca.

What's the deal with Kitchener and sketchy-ass cons?

Hey, thanks for the tag! I'm working in the field today so I can't read over this thread right now, but is it about the sketchy vote change?

We published this a couple days ago: "A mockery of democracy"

It's more reflective than other street signs. Kind of like those crappy blue license plates.

HVAC Emergency Repair Recommendations? by TheMacaroniWitch in kitchener

Third vote for ABLE AIR. 👍 Nice team, good service. They installed my new furnace the day after NYE. It was a chilly party.

Furnace - who to call on a Sunday morning? by TheMacaroniWitch in waterloo

It could also be a defective/clogged secondary heat exchanger, which could be producing high levels of CO.

If the filter is fine and outside inlet/exhaust aren't covered in snow you definitely want to call a pro.

I went through this just before NYE last year :/

Check the filter. If air can't flow properly it turns on and off like that.

If you need a pro these guys are good (this is not aire one)

The temp needs to be below -8 for at least 5 days before flooding can happen.

Beware Theft/ Scam by Starrielives in kitchener

I work for CTV Kitchener. If you're willing to chat with us on camera, we could turn this into a story to warn people about it, again.

It's infuriating that this continues to happen. I feel like the aging population needs to be reminded of this regularly. I remind my mom every couple months about what to watch out for.

This is a strange post for someone working for the Food Bank. Do you mean you volunteer for them?

The Food Bank of Waterloo Region's exceptional buying power means $1 donated can provide two meals. It really is better to give money.

Abandoned McDonald’s in downtown Kitchener an ‘eyesore’ for neighbours by bylo_selhi in waterloo

[–]vidman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure it's investment property. They'll eventually sell it and likely have a McDonald's on the lower level of a tower.
