  1. My opinion of on demand water heaters. They are not instant...you have to have the water turned on for 15 seconds before they fire up. This may not seem long but I find that with that and filling the pipe with hot water..I watch a bit of TV before the shower gets hot. It is a long wait in the kitchen for hot water. You learn to turn the tap on and do other things while waiting. They also don't heat on a really low flow, which can be good because you can use the hot thats in the pipe if you plan things right. When the power goes out, you have NO hot water. With a tank, you can get a shower by candle light in the morning They are a bit pricey..I think its $40 a month rental but they bill you 3 times a year so its kind of a hit. I had electric before this but I think they are cheaper to run so that offsets the extra rental or cost With just 2 of us in the house now it must be better than having that tank heated all the time They don't take any space and vent out the wall As long as the power is on, you never have to worry about running out of hot water...great for company or lots of kids taking showers. Its a personal decision...my wife really wanted it and and loves it and I am used to it..but I'm a miserable old fart
  2. What....again?
  3. That thing looks really good...I had a red one for years..1984 I believe...kept it till 99
  4. Ask Mike Duffy about residency...I hear he is right up on that stuff now
  5. I wonder what the new owners of Hydro One will do
  6. So whats up now Mr Trudeau is saying the actual reason for delaying the 25,000 is because of the Paris attacks and he thinks we are all scared and wants to make us feel good...hmmmm ok..your the leader
  7. Possibly, he should stop and think a bit more before he makes promises he can't keep. During the election when he said it, everybody said it was impossible. I like how he just sent cabinet ministers to make the anouncement and was a no show himself
  8. 2 big election promises...25,000 by years end and deficit spending he flubbed the first one but he will for sure make good on the second I''mm off to see the wizard...errr...Queen
  9. Thats crazy..throw the key away
  10. Insulation and air leakage makes a huge difference. My last house was built in the 80's and this one is new...big difference in drafts and I have an air exchanger so windows really don't get opened...you can feel that the place holds heat, and my shop is insulated and built the same as the house
  11. If a tree falls on the line in winter, they still have to fix it. Unless you want to keep a fridge running when you aren't there. I would be going 2000W Honda generator
  12. 2 people, 1300' high rise its 2 levels so that really doubles, plus a 24x26 shop thats 68 degrees all winter electric is 75, gas 88, sewer/water 40, no equal billing thats this month, gas goes to 160 in the coldest months..actually. I think thats not bad I heat this place cheaper with gas than my last place with wood hot water is gas on demand
  13. Now Thats funny and now, our fearless leader...is...Off to See the Queen will we get a piroette
  14. Yes, its really quite sad that he couldn't pull through..oh well...better luck with the new plan
  15. Yes, all you need is a Passport from a friendly country you edited while I was writing
  16. Well, thats disapointing. I feel bad for Mr Trudeau. Barely 2 weeks into being PM and he has already had to cancel a huge promise due to it being IMPOSSIBLE
  17. So you're saying it really could be done in 5 minutes?...and that now that PM Trudeau has ordered it, it will be done I wish Harper could have gotten stuff done like that
  18. Who does CBC math...there are 37 days left for 25,000 refugees so thats only 675/day..piece of cake We land 3 -747's per day at pearson and we got it covered Big hugs all around
  19. So, Toronto Police have to stop profiling, but its OK for the Prime Minister,,,cause he is just trying to help
  20. Thats the Liberal govt that came up with the plan Conservatives sold out for money in the first place and now the fix is like its the hunters fault and they have to be put in jail by any means possible
  21. Who would want to go bear hunting when if you accidentally shoot a female with a cub or a cub you are going to JAIL for a year and paying a $25,000 fine
  22. I quit wearing my favorite snowmobile jacket and got a new one because it didn't have reflective piping on it. Got thinking about if I was broke down on the trail with no lights on the sled. When somebody comes ripping around a corner at 60mph I want them to see me
  23. My wife and her friend go for early morning walks....I work construction so its easy....I gave them both a visivest...orange with a big yellow reflective X on it...makes drivers happy
  24. only when the skeletons get up there
  25. They went through it in 1812 when we burnt the white house down too
