Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸<p>I was happily eating a PBJ sandwich while reading an email from a potential surveyor when suddenly I spat it all out…</p><p>“Hi Chris,</p><p>The original stakes for your lot were set in 1912, so yes you will need iron pins placed on your corners. The estimated cost to replace the four iron pins and file a posting plan at the land title office is about $5000 plus GST and disbursements. </p><p>Let me know if you have any questions or wish to proceed.</p><p>Best Regards,</p><p>-redacted name-, BCLS<br>—— Land Surveying Ltd.”</p><p>So, no, then.<br>(fyi: I have a standard suburban city lot 45ft x 125ft. I just wanted to know where my property lines were for the fence…)<br><a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/diy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>diy</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/homeimprovement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>homeimprovement</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/landsurvey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>landsurvey</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/property" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>property</span></a></p>
Joe Heafner<p>The two middle sections are each on a part of a gate whose frame is made of hollow circular steel pipes. I want to raise the slats vertically, which means drilling new holes in the wood, but NOT in the gate frame. How can I make sure I put the screws in the right place on the slats to use the existing holes in the frame? (BTW I will fix the wonky spacing in the leftmost panel, and the slats ARE vertical; the vignetting from the camera makes them look slanted). <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Fence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fence</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/HomeImprovement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HomeImprovement</span></a></p>
Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸<p>It’s already 25°C and I am dripping with sweat… but a slight modification had to be completed! Made a shelf in the main <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/poolpond" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>poolpond</span></a> area to hold a milk crate, which will hold one of the pumps. </p><p>I decided it was critical to have circulation from the bottom of the pool including taking water from the bottom to send to the filter. But since the main pump area is in the intake bay/skimmer I would have had to bring a pipe up and over the wall and down into pool. (The pumps must be submerged in at least 6” of water at all times)</p><p>This would be inefficient and potentially have air lock problems… so I pulled back the three layers of liner and cloth and excavated a little nook in the already semi hidden back corner. </p><p>This will have to do. :) the sun was already coming over the house. The rubber liner gets very hot 🥵. Glad it didn’t take too long.</p><p>There will be a rock or some sort of wall below and in front of the crate to further support and hide it.</p><p>Oh, and now that the liner and stuff is all back, the 🐜 ants can go back to their regularly scheduled ant-ing.<br><a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/diy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>diy</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/backyardpond" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>backyardpond</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/hot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>hot</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/ants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ants</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gardening</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/homeimprovement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>homeimprovement</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/portalberni" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>portalberni</span></a></p>

deewani<p>PSA: Helping an auntie replace faucets. To our surprise many of the retail/big box versions of popular brands now have black plastic/acrylic trim for the included pop up drains. Talked to Kohler this morning and basically you have to get the distributors models direct from them, your local plumbing showroom, or similar websites and they cost a lot more. You cannot trust the product pictures so check reviews for customer images. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/HomeImprovement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HomeImprovement</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Plumbing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Plumbing</span></a></p>
