    Fixed or Floating Electrical Rates

    Ever since the new 900MW Cascade power plant by Edson came online prices have been gradually dropping. Where the bottom is, who knows, but over the next few years as AP’s new H2 plant and DOW’s expansion eventually startup, these will be large consumers of power, so prices will go up again. I...

    Winter vacation

    All inclusive is nice if you want the safety net of a resort. Usually still have the option for some excursions, but very touristy and $$ for what you get. If you’re looking for adventure and can be flexible and go with the flow a bit more, book flights and get a booking.com account for...

    Rv living

    I’ve known a few rig managers who lived in their trailers towed around northern Alberta through the winter. No skirting, but I’m not positive what all was heat traced or how often they’d refill with propane. Arctic Fox and Roughneck were the go to brands it seemed. Sent from my iPhone using...

    Jasper is on fire!

    Supposedly that marked up photo is of where the crews were to focus their efforts last night, not what actually burnt. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Mid-Sized SUV's

    Anyone have anything good or bad to say about Mitsubishi SUV’s? Is the extra warranty they offer compared to others worth considering for peace of mind? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    telus vs Koodo

    Telus has much better packages than what they advertise online, you just have to call and ask. Even if you work for a larger company, often they have unadvertised discounts. You just need access to an email address for the company when initially setting it up. $60-$65 per month for unlimited...

    Any condo owners in Panama.

    I spent some time touring through Panama early last year. Boquete was a nice area. Lots of retired expats there. Weather was cooler and windy, almost too much so for me. Driving from David it’s a continual climb up the volcano mountains to get to Boquete, so kind of depends how far up you go...

    Fencing red deer area

    I second Heavenly Gates. I did the supply only and looked after install myself. Don’t cheap out on the foundation or whatever you’re going to anchor them too. Any slight movement on the hinge side will be amplified in the middle. The gates themselves can be straightforward depending on...

    Farmer talk

    I’d first check to make sure 1 of the hoses comes from the discharge side of the water pump, before the rad. If both hoses go back to the block there won’t be a pressure differential to create flow. Usually the pump will be enough alone to push out the air. It’ll take some time and a few...

    Credit Cards

    I’ve had this card for years and look annually to try and find another that would be better, haven’t found one yet. Cash back is best for me and this is consistently the best card overall I find. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Utility services

    Fixed rates have worked well for me for many years now. I use to be with Encor/Epcor, but switched to ATCO and have been happy. I’ve rarely seen the floating rate prices cheaper than the fixed price. The monthly administration cost is also significantly less when fixed. This is for electricity...

    Garage Humidity

    I have a reznor UDAP forced air heater. It works well to circulate the air and evaporate the moisture, just need a way to then get the moisture out of the air. Ventilation fan would probably work, but seems very inefficient. Would also need a fresh air inlet for it to work otherwise the exhaust...

    Garage Humidity

    I have a floor drain and excellent slope, so no pooling water. When it’s cold out and the vehicles come in fairly dry, it’s not an issue. But when it’s warmer and vehicles in/out daily with some snow and slush on them, the humidity gets up there even with little to no physical puddles on the...

    Garage Humidity

    Curious what everyone finds to work the best for reducing humidity in your garages? I’ve had a 50-pint portable dehumidifier for the last number of years and it has worked well, but recently isn’t performing anymore. It seems to be an issue with the compressor that isn’t worth fixing. Looking at...

    Diesel shortage starting dec 7 2022

    Alta Gas has their new RIPET facility operating now too. For years all the facilities around Edmonton generating propane as an offstream and almost having to pay to get rid of it the market was so flooded, now they finally have an economical option to sell into. All going to Asia. It’s raising...

    Diesel shortage starting dec 7 2022

    Has had some challenges over the years for sure, but it’s proven it can produce more than design already. Had a good sized turnaround this fall, so hopefully they fixed what they needed to and can stay online for a long while now. Compared to Shell, Suncor, and Esso, NWR is just a small drop in...
