Pics please! My wife loves big large tables. Shes already got new ones picked out for a new house. Thankfully that phase seems to have passed!

Fixed the heat. Fixed the squeak. Just added another item to MP Contracting Services! Now wife wants me to upgrade the entire laundry…..

Just drill into it, use it, take it out, and plead ignorance.

What did you decide on @Relax ? Should I start shoveling around my trailer?

Was thinking googly eye but camera works too as an option!

Ok....installed the new heating element and it was working well last night. Heated up the laundry, no issues with codes being tossed up. The install wasn't too bad just a bit more annoying than the disassembly. Only issue is there's some rubbing noises coming out of the drum and the rear...

I'm waiting until spring to replace my current one. It keeps chugging along, but it's time for something newer when the weather shifts. This thing must be at least 20+ years old and works like a charm (except for the damaged auger housing). @nobbie48 sold me a good unit, the damn thing won't...

Ugh....truck's a write off. Found a tiny hole in my front emblem...gotta call insurance I guess.

That’s Bout right. ECLRT is a new line so they can do basically whatever. Owned by MX, operated by TTC, and maintained by TTC/Third Party depending on what needs maintaining. MX is the asset holder. SSE/ECWE/YNSE are all similar but as they’re tying into existing TTC lines they need to...

nope. It’s a common failure point. Considerable charring when I opened it up but didn’t check with multi.

It wasn’t the lint and wasn’t the exhaust. I just bought a new heater element for $60 so hopefully that’ll do the trick. Phase 1

This sums it up pretty damn well!

The problem with the contracts is that they’re built for a P3 or DBF, or PDB and Infrastructure Ontario keeps coming up with new names for new types of contracts that no one is aware of in Canada. The hammer was a DBB where all the risk was on the owner. Then it swung to a P3 which transitions...

This is a life goal of mine...being able to walk away when it's time, and not stress about having to work into my retirement years. Maybe I'll hold off on doubling my mortgage...(Plus the sellers didn't agree to our 1.5M thank Christ!).

@GreyGhost basically summed it up almost perfectly. Too many cooks in the kitchen, and too many people wanting their 'mark' on the project as part of their own internal little legacy. I have personally spent hundreds of hours on nothing more than pacifying stakeholders which required...
