Hey, I'm using the hand saws as this is a downstairs project, it's to cold to do this in the shop with the skill or band saws.

No room for a table saw and don't have a scroll saw but I've got pretty near every other saw known to mankind, have a saw for every occasion and they all know how to follow a pencil or scribe line. Lol

I do such a wide variety of things that there's tools here that seem redundant but they all have their purpose, that's why I have so many apparent duplicate tools.

Got the suet cakes there also at $1.39.
That sounds like a lot better deal than Peavey Mart so that's where I`d head soon. Good that the birds like it.
Standing and leaning kills my back, walking isn`t much better.

Enmax showed up today and upgraded my hydro meter, got to reset my clocks.

These bird houses are a lot of work, will be glad when they're done.

Enmax is our city owned gas and power company, the rates are the same or better and its another way of paying towards potential tax increases. Every dollar they make is a dollar away from higher taxes, some people refuse to go with them because of that.

Saskatoon has has it`s own electrical distribution company for parts of the city, weird as it operates almost side by side with Saskpower in Saskatoon.

We've got a couple of private operators but the city's rates are the same and it means only 1 monthly bill instead of a utility bill and a city services bill.

It's a city run utility. One time something happened one time that their rates ended up being higher, that raised quite a flap but got straightened out somehow.

A lot of times these municipal corporations buy energy or fuels by term contracts at set rates and they get burned by rate changes, it happened to the city when the oil prices went bust a few years back. The city was paying about 40 points over rate for its fuels for a few months.

Happy Thursday Mornin'all. Woke up to -25C with wind -37C, Ouch. Back to above normal for the rest of the week, and next week. Since I fell off a ladder last winter, my back, and knees have been a problem. Some days are good, some are bad. I never had lower back problems before. Have a great day guy's.
