I cannot refuse entry to anyone. Zero exceptions. If someone does not have shoes, is missing a shoe, tries to come in with fuel etc I remind them of the policy. Then I call a supervisor and they make the obvious call. Company policy as it stands is that we cannot refuse entry to anyone without...

Thx for the insight. I actually have no problem with mangement ensuring that the operators are doing their job properly. Public sentiment on social media is way skewed that we are the problem. Many posts blaming the driver saying he was probably not wearing hia mask. Let's leave the science...

Upper brass working from home. Supervisors have offices at all the terminals and computers in their SUVs. I have no beef or issue with the acting Supervisors. I was promoted to "Lead Hand" and did that plus routing, dispatching etc at Flanagan Foods before I went to Public Transit. Glorified...

It is like a dark comedy. Comments on Facebook and Twitter are overwhelmingly blaming the bus drivers for not wearing the masks enough! Response was mangement has not been mask enforcement on the buses. Instead the supervisors keep kicking drivers out of the lunchroom when they are done eating...

Thx for the kind response. Yeah, I could look into leave of absence. However, I think the situation is not going to improve much over the next 12 months. The only fly in the ointment is that my benefita get nuked after a month. My wife's ms medication is $2000 a month when she needs it. Her...

We have another driver with a Covid positive result. No news to the public or media. Only the drivers who took over a bus or handed off a bus to the driver were contacted. No effort made to see who may have had lunch with him or her or perhaps did a ride share etc. Crazy... So now they are...

Okay... I technically have a "hot tub" now; well a Softub... The ironic thing about this is I checked them out year after year at the C.N.E. along with the other hot tub vendors that would be there. At our old house the Softub 300 was the one tub that I thought could work in our tiny yard. I...

Good advice. I will only do it then if it leads to a hot tub. Just the same I wonder if a 220 V 40A hot tub can run on the existing 40A service? Some of the smaller 220V tubs are rated for 30A or 40A service. At least many of the smaller Jacuzzis can. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

I have no problem with that budget; so long as it is done right and everything is safe. Just the same I am going to look at a used soft.tub tomorrow. I may go that route and still upgrade the power to the shed. If we get the soft sub and my wife enjoys and uses it then I will upgrade to a...

My wife is nixing the idea of me touching any electrical. Don't know why; my life insurance premiums are paid up. After 18 years of marriage and 26 years together you would think she would have had enough by now. Thank goodness for her bad taste in men. Our electrician is being a bit flaky...

R.I.P. Another of my heroes gone. First Neil and now Eddie. My sincerest thoughts to Wolfgang and the rest of the family. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

Lawnmower handles the heavy stuff no problem. If you do a lot of it the battery will just get depleted quicker. The lawnmower has tech that if the lawn is patchy that it recognizes a lighter area and slows down to save energy. Hit a thicker are and it ramps up the power. Our neighbors lawn was...

This is interesting timing... I bought a battery powered snowblower tonight and I was going to start a thread about battery powered home outdoor equipment and get some feedback. Then I saw this thread and I thought I would post my impressions about 80V ownership. This is my second 80V...

Kind of weird to provide an update with today's news but here goes... Electrician came over. He is the same one who wired up our new shed last year. Our "new" place does not.have a garage so we essentially built a one car garage in the backyard where the Bandit and beer fridge live. At any...

Thx for your input. I will look into this specialized gravel. I was just going to get a whack of regular, plain old, gravel to put.into the bed of my truck. It sounds like this is a better solution. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

Okay. Thanks for the advice. I did our front walkway at our old house just digging down, tamping/compacting and that thing barely moved over 15 years. Okay. I will just dig down 6", use gravel, tamp, sit, the pavers or a hot tub floor system after. Pavers are way cheaper. The floor systems are...

I'll bet they charged for that service. I was looking at digging down 6". Making a form with treated lumber and then subdividing the form horizontally and vertically. Then gravel into form. Pack and tamp. Level. Then pavers or floor system on top. Should I put a screen down before the form to...

Good point although I don't wish any ill will on anyone. Just the same Inhave seen a few boom/bust cycles in my time. I would love to upgrade to a larger, non hybrid, trailer but not going to buy sight unseen as so many other as RVs are essentially sold out at this point and many RV...

Sadly most of the refurb folks I have spoken to don't have any tubs. There is a dealer in the Hespeler village (Cambridge) that usually have a decent selection of refurbished tubs and they are out of stock. I am going to just continue to plod along. Get the electric and pad done and a tub will...

Thanks for the insight and response. Will look into this more. Going 3 ft away from the wall is not a problem. Then put in a little walkway there or put a little bed there with some plants or something. If moving it over 3 ft or so would work then that is a good idea. If I were to move it...
