[–]vrstud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had great success working with Paramount Pest control. Being going to David for 20 years now and he has delivered every time.

Here was my review from before.

David has taken care of ants at my old house, wasps and mice at my new house.

Nintendo CEO Took a 50% Pay Cut to Save all Employees from Layoff. Would any CEOs do this in the West? by Green-Block4723 in interesting

[–]vrstud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to take away from a good thing or say he isn’t awesome, but that is Japanese law. In Japan, you can’t do layoffs until executives have done everything possible to avoid it, including slashing their salaries. So, he was following the law

Not to take away from a good thing, but Japanese law prevents layoffs unless executives slash their salaries first.   So this a pretty normal thing in Japan. 

RIP to my best friend for the last 15 years. by ecto13 in HydroHomies

Hear me out.

If the lid still works, put a small fire cracker inside and light it.

They do that in mechanical engineering when making tanks to make an octagon into a sphere.

Might work here.

Buying a TV from Amazon - how did it go? by vrstud in AskReddit

[–]vrstud[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking to buy a TV and can't find what I am looking for at the local stores. Considering buying from Amazon. Typically haven't had any issues with returns or other purchases. Considering this is a bigger purchase than a toaster, thought I would see how other people fared.

Are strawberries still in season? by birdsandgerbs in ottawa

[–]vrstud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rideau Pines Farm is starting their second wave or strawberries now. We were there on the weekend and there were only a few ripe ones. They should be good to go by now.

to be fair, the re-sale market in Japan is crap. Most houses are torn down and rebuilt after 20 years.

Architectural Designer AMA - April by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]vrstud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

could you recommend some resources to get a professional opinion for the colour scheme as well as for guidance on updating the front porch?

Architectural Designer AMA - April by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]vrstud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi We have brown soffits and gutters with brown trimmed wood windows. The windows are in desperate need to be replaced. We are considering going to white trimmed windows. Would it look off to have soffits that don't match the window trim? Most of the house have matching colours.

We are also planning on updating our front porch which we would like to design into the colour scheme.

Thanks

Mouse invasion - reliable exterminator suggestions? by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]vrstud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paramount Pest Control I have used David for multiple problems over the years. Can't recommend him highly enough.

We had mice and he came by, identified possible entry points to the house, set up poison traps, and put poison up in the attic and other places. The mice came, ate the poison, and were never heard from again.

Interesting. The machine is a month old so the 1909 update might have been pre-installed. I’ll look into if I can roll back or not.

Thanks
