Up here there is a guy every 6 months that gets fried trying to steal copper out of substations; I guess the same down south

I'm well aware of how noisy they can be, especially when your year old dog thinks it is APPROPRIATE to bark at them at 4:30 AM(which is when it starts getting light this far north) But, it's still cool to see some nature out here in the boondocks of Alberta....

These robins nest at my house, on the windowsill of my garage every year(last 5 years or so). I wait till they're done with the nest and then clean it off. They rebuild again in the spring. I was worried that getting that close they might not come back, but they don't seem to care. steve

A personal mess This is my house that I'm in the process of redoing. You guys will notice many things that are obviously driving me nuts, even though I'm not a plumber. Also, what are your collective thoughts on the best way to move that vent pipe into the wall so I don't have to reach around...

Thank you sir, I'll give it a try. I'm looking for a pretty compact unit because my old house has small bathroom and I'm trying to wedge in all the fixtures nicely while still being able to provide a nice soaker tub for my fiance. It's a bit of a challenge in the space department.

Does anyone know where to find a Toto supplier in Alberta Canada? Have been reading how recommended they are on this site but can't find a retailer. Any help would be greatly appreciated
