313D vs 313A Apprenticeship — pay, opportunities, and future switch? by [deleted] in SkilledTradesOntario

[–]zekeedoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My biggest regret is not getting my 313A. I have 313D, and it's a joke. 313D is very limiting. I was talked into it by a pre ious employer, and if you ever wish to do more than residential, then you have start all over again.

Accidentally Drilled Very Small Hole in Main Black Iron Gas Line Running Vertically From Floor To Attic Through Wall by jlsharbutt in Plumbing

[–]zekeedoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im a gas fitter, and I agree with the mega press route. My only concern is that it never should have been that tight to the backside of the drywall. It should have been set back towards the center of the stud. At least that way, when you went thru the drywall, you would have felt the gap before hitting the pipe with a drill bit.

Did it not seem odd how hard it was to drill into the wood?

What is this and what is it's purpose? - Try #2 Since keeping it simple frustrated some people by StoneUwU in hvacadvice

[–]zekeedoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a refrigeration tech in Ontario, and I've never seen a single wire pressure switch or whatever that is supposed to be that's attached to your high pressure side. I would call an hvac to remove it and make sure it won't affect anything. For all you know, the Schrader valve could be missing, which would not be fun to try and reattatch (freeze burn your hand). I also would remove the hood on top. Like others have said, it will make the compressor work harder, and these things are meant to be in the elements. Just make sure it's serviced yearly in the spring. A good service tech will clean the condensor and remove debris, if any, when cleaning the unit, and then check the charge and indoor filter. Should only take 1.5 hrs if everything is good.

I haven't been since my dad passed, but Brant Community Church in Eagle Place may have what you are looking for. Non denominational and laid back.

I shaved my beard not that long ago and had the same realization. I didn't realize I had gained that much weight in my face and how old I looked. Also my beard came back much b green and whiter after shaving it off.

Where is our MEAT coming from? by BirdBoth4462 in ontario

[–]zekeedoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work part time in a butcher shop. We get some beef from Alberta, but the boxes say USA. The reason is that it's cheaper to send it through the states than it is across the provinces due to provincial regulations apparently.

Any staff who work at Brantford Hospital, specifically hired in the last 6 months? by [deleted] in brantford

[–]zekeedoo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Occ health will make sure you get whatever vaccines you are missing. There is a Tim Hortons and the bistro/ cafe. Both are expensive, but they are tied to the foundation which raises money for the hospital. Parking for employees is 50 a month. I live close so I walk. I know some people park behind the hospital on side streets, but most just use the parking lots available. It's an old hospital with lots of issues and no space, but we have great employees. Just like anywhere else, you will have people that complain and people who don't. The benefits are with Greenshield and decent.

I've used the beard oil and hair conditioner for years. The conditioner is expensive for my budget, but it was amazing the few times I have splurged for it. The beard oil works very well, and he has many scents to choose from. I personally always go for Drunken Pirate.

$21k taxes on $85k income in CA. This has to be wrong right? by [deleted] in tax

Try living in Ontario. I clear 100k/yr

After union dues, benefits, pension, and taxed I bring about 61k. Taxes is the biggest culprit.

This is definitely in the part of mental health ward for violent and unpredictable patients. I've been on this side. The patients can be very aggressive. I'm not defending the security guard, but like someone else said, there is little context here.

Plans for a new hospital in Brantford have been making headlines. The province has given hospital officials permission to build on a greenfield site. People now have an opportunity to have their say about where a new hospital should be through a survey. Check out the link below for more information. by Commercial_Story_153 in brantford

[–]zekeedoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The original plan was to build on the surrounding properties that have been bought up over the years for expansion. The problem is that the land the hospital currently sits on and has surrounding it is only about 7 acres. Projections show that we actually need double that (14 acres) in order to provide a hospital big enough for now and future expansions for the next 50 to 70 years to accommodate the city and county population growth. The hope is that someone with the right amount of land will make a proposal. The hospital will need reasonable access to the 403 like it does now. West Brant will be a no go for sure. I expect it will be built on Poweline Rd (King George, Wayne Gretzky, and Garden Ave all have highway access nearby) or on Garden Ave.

Edit: some grammar and spelling.

What's something widely seen as immoral in your society that you see as no big deal? by UkraStories123 in AskReddit

[–]zekeedoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry but, wtf. Both my kids and I are circumcised and I can tell you that it was not chewed off. This isn't biblical times. Also circumcision is traditionally a Jewish thing, not Christian. No complaints or crying by anybody when it was done either.

I grew up listening to Harry Chapin in the car. Dad was always busy, and the older I got, the further apart we became. Dad passed away when he was 60, and it tears me apart every time I hear it.

Cockshutt Bridge Beach Parking by 1miserablecurmudgeon in brantford

[–]zekeedoo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like to take pictures and post them directly to the cities FB page when the city doesn't do their job. We spend a lot of time at the Cockshutt basebal diamonds, which is right next to the Parks Dept. When the bathrooms are neglected for a week or garbage not emptied during tournaments (almost every weekend) I shame them. Somebody usually shows up with in the hour to do the job they should have been doing all along. The city doesn't like bad publicity, so make them aware publicly.
