    Central Air ( AC)

    Usually when the compressor is gone the unit should be replaced. When you factor in the extra time and cost of refrigerant (new ones are precharged) you won't save much repairing. Then the whole thing is new and warrantied. Sent from my SM-G981W using Tapatalk

    Central Air ( AC)

    Correct about costs and supply. For this time of year it is already worse than last year. 2 years ago $3500 was average for a 3 ton installed, now 5000 plus is more like it. The only brand I would avoid is Goodman. The biggest problem with other less known brands is that parts could become an...

    Trump Impeachment

    If they decide it is legal it opens up a Pandora's box. Now any past president can be impeached for any reason. As soon as the Republicans are back in control they could certainly impeach Obama, his actions are far worse than Trump's.

    Did some playing with my gear today

    I did some playing/testing/practicing with 4 beacons too. A Mammut Element, 2 Pieps, and an old SOS. They all worked although the SOS is by far the hardest to use. One thing I did find is that when I hid 3 and searched, regardless of which one I searched with, it always locked onto the Mammut...

    Lake Docks

    Check to see if you can get a permit for where you want it to go. The laws have changed for this year and many people will lose their access. It would stink to spend good money and then have the carpet yanked out from under your feet.

    Question for the Plumbers

    Re: Question for the Plunbers If it is the small valve that you manually turn to light the pilot is what you mean I don't think they are serviceable. I would replace the entire gas valve and not try to repair the old one. That furnace looks ancient from what I can see in the picture, you might...

    Not to split hairs but Bonnyville elevation is more like 1850 ft.

    Spotter for Water Skiing in the Covid-19 era

    The rule for pulling anyone is that there is a driver (obviously), a spotter, and enough room for all the people being towed. If someone gets knocked out or requires immediate help the spotter must be able to enter the water while the driver stays with the boat. Same idea with room on board for...

    509 x6 Ignite vs abom?

    Ignite has been flawless so far. A bit pricey though.

    Flame Sensor in house furnace!

    Lots of good comments here so far. Let me add this: 1- NEVER touch the ignitor if it a hot surface one of any style. That is one that glows orange as opposed to clicking a spark. They are very fragile and cleaning is not necessary. A spare is a good idea and should be specific to the brand and...

    Shock rebuild

    Last I heard from Bruno is that he is closing the shop in Edmonton but is continuing to work from his smaller shop in Stony Plain or Spruce Grove, I forgot which. The cell number from a few posts back is still good.

    Hockey players with hurt feelings?

    Pro sports is lost on me too. Not just the NHL but the NFL too. I was a huge fan of both. I have thought for years that the best game in town, especially for the money, is the Golden Bears, or the Dinos if you are a southerner. Most players are the second or third best players from WHL teams...

    Need some help with a sled recovery - Sun Peaks

    That reeks. I'm too far away to help with the recovery, but I can say this. Nytros are not prone to blowing belts so something is up. Check your clutches when you can, and make sure snow is not getting into the cavity where the belt is. Maybe bring duct tape with you in case there us a hole, and...

    Modular homes vs conventional

    Your first comment sounded like a double wide trailer. That is not really a modular. A modular looks like a house when finished and with some builders it is hard to tell the difference. Remember there are significant costs in site prep, basement, heating, plumbing, and electrical. Make sure the...
