Funny story about the hotels in Port Elgin. One of the PM's I work with sold his house to move back out East, and needed a place to stay for a week while wrapping everything up here. It was July of last year, and he calls the Super 8 in town and guy on the phone goes "if you want a room with a...

Gotcha. If its in fairly decent shape they probably aren't out much. Motels/Hotels are still $400+ per night here in the summer, so there is a fair amount of money to be made on AirBnB. Lots of places up in Port/Southampton still selling for $800k-1.1m. Mainly new builds in subdivisions but...

Bruce Power is still keeping the market in Port Elgin fairly hot. Hard to say if $800k is a lot or not based on where it is. If it was waterfront it was a steal. If it was a 1970's home 2km from the beach, probably out $200k.

Still progressing my custom keyboard. Case and plate design is fully done and printed. I've printed it using some clear PLA that I've had open in air for 5+ years thats now super brittle, but seems to be holding together. I've spent a lot of time soldering over the last few days. Still not...

Field engineer in the business of cutting apart nuclear reactors and rebuilding them. I want to get in on the DNNP though. Thats where the future is.

I haven't broken a shear pin in a while, but I was on a streak with my dad's Craftsman that just about every other time I used it I broke a shear pin on it. Both of the neighbors had their water shutoffs in the middle of the driveway, which were high enough to catch the auger. You'd think you...

If you go on Youtube at all, there is a guy named RR Buildings that installs a lot of stone veneer onto some really fancy looking barns/shops. He's a super talented builder and if you watch him install it he has a lot of tips and tricks. I think the product he uses is Versetta Stone.

Back to my drawer project - fresh off the CNC router is this drawer front. This is the design I came up with for it, now that I see it I have some ideas for what pattern I would like better, but I only have so much oak so I'll live with it. I want to fill in the grooves with black epoxy, but...

I don't really see the need for an e-stop. Its so rare I've ever stopped a job mid print, even more rare that I'd have to do it so fast that using the menu would be too slow. I'm a big fan of the drawer. This thing came with a bunch of allen keys and flat wrenches to adjust everything, and its...

This thing is awesome. Well worth the money

I messed up ordering the heated bed matt and the replacement I needed was another $60usd and 2-6 week lead time from China, and couldn't find it anywhere else. Plus I ran into a bunch of other fitment issues that I could fix but I'm so ****** off about the bed matt I've given up. Just going to...

I guess I should start by saving I don't know anything about programming and have all my knowledge from youtube and nor have I actually done it yet, but it would appear all you basically need to do is upload the layout (either from QMK config or keyboard layout editor) into QMK firmware and...

I'll give everyone a hint at how well today went in repairing my printer: I've got a new printer in my cart on Amazon...

Yeah keycaps for a mechanical keyboard. I've got yet another side project of 3D printing and hand wiring a split mechanical keyboard, and am moving keycaps sets around between keyboards. What started my 3D printer bed swap was I couldn't print the case for this keyboard without it warping...

Another side project that is now 90% done. I wanted a drawer for my standing desk but no one sells anything that fits nicely/uses all the space. I had to buy some Blum drawer slides but had enough left over baltic birch ply and edge banding to get it all together. Not the cleanest thing I've...

Thanks for the offer. I work with a few other guys who have printers, so I have them to reach out to as well. If the aluminum parts turn out well, they'll be a lot better than the plastic ones at least. On the bright side I just put a brand new Starrett blade on the bandsaw that works 100x...

I've had a hell of a time with my 3D printer the last few days. My bed has had a bow in it for a while, probably since I got it, and I've been debating just buying a new printer for $750 or building a new bed for $100. Probably the wrong choice but its now ballooned into $300 in materials (1/4"...

If you made me ride when it was below 10C or raining I'd sell the bike.

Every person I know who has a Tundra went to the dealer to buy a Tacoma, realized how small they were and how poor the mpg was, and left in a Tundra. A Tacoma is like a Jeep Wrangler - you have to want to drive one. Ram is a low income persons' truck. Really any CDJR is. Super high MSRP and...

Rob Ford - more than enough to eat at home John Tory - not enough to eat at home TBD Mayor - just the right amount to eat at home???? It's the modern day Goldilocks and the Three Bears
