It's an airport bus (900) and that is the luggage rack... assuming you were not on the way to or from the airport maybe it is being used on another route.

If you are running a new wire you can decide 120v or 240v as the motor does both. As it is temp I may lean 120v 12/2 on a 20amp breaker. That extra 120v plug may come in handy, plus you only use one spot in the panel. 20 amp to cover 15amp load (80% blah, blah...), and having the motor trip the...

One can get into the weeds regarding the type of breaker etc.... As usual @oioioi sums it up. A little deeper, if the draw is actually 15 amps, breakers and circuits are typically rated at 80% load so 20 amp breaker (20X80%, 16 amps), 12 gauge (20 amp) wire and you are set. 12/2 unless a...

Buy the tool only and run it with your RIGID batteries via a battery adapter....

I tend to use a rope saw for those situations, just cut it from the ground. If you have a good one it is fast once you get the technique down (but don't drop the branch on your head!).

When family or friends come from out of town and we are going out to eat where to go is always a debate for us, we are paying. IMO we should go to something higher end that they don't typically have at home but that always results in all the Toronto is so expensive cliche (or small portion...

Years back my wife accidentally paid the 407 by mistake (online banking) when trying to pay another bill (clicked on the wrong one). And to top it off, it was for a car/account that was long gone and she noticed weeks later... I basically told her good luck getting that money back (I expected...

To be fair when winding down something like this you need some staff to stay to the end. Most people if they know they are losing their jobs with no severance in a few months are looking for a jobs now and there is a risk you end short people before the last days. How do they solve that?? As...

The Bay used to have a pretty full watch section back in the day. Nothing too highfalutin but the usual suspects Hamilton, Tissot, Movado, Seiko, etc.... plus some of the total fashion brands (Boss, Kenneth Cole, whatever) and a very good selection of quality workhorses Timex, Citizen, etc...

We got hit late fall/early winter with the bad chest cold that was going around. It took over a month to get rid of the congestion. There was also a bad head cold...

For casual no specific timeline trips and pre smart phone we started our day fairly early and around 4PM we would stop and look for a motel/hotel. If they were booked up (or too many $$$) at that exit we went to the next, always had a room before dinner. There was some pre planning if we were...

For those looking to get together with friends at home instead of eating out. AND save a few bucks... Years ago we used to do cooking nights, all were at my place but the chef for each night rotated through the group. The chef planned the entire meal, they bought/brought the ingredients and...

From a marketing perspective it is too bad they didn't get another year or two and drive the buy Canadian, it may have helped... although owned by US and products come from overseas but I said marketing not reality... There are no surprises with this but we did note during xmas shopping that...

We go out to eat on average twice per week. Some weeks more some weeks less. We have a good range of places (pubs, ethnic, fancy) all walking distance (few blocks) and we typically range from $70 to $150 for my wife and I with drinks but it can go much higher at the nicer places (less often) or...
