Yes its the same, there are more uhauls/families/people moving outa BC then there should be, most of the trades people have left, young people get out of school and hightail it out of BC. One would think this would make for jobs in BC but no the stores just close their doors. Van might be OK but the rest of BC is going down the hole in many ways.

Yea its the same here, lots of people leaving Ontario which you would think more jobs but no.... I've handed out over 60 resumes in the last 3 months and have gotten 2 calls back in my job search. Toronto IMO is a write off now... the city is just to big now, and Ottawa's not far behind. I can't stand being near Toronto now the city is just filthy.


BTW mind if I send you a pm with a quick exhaust question?

Took the lawn tractor down to the creek and got a nice sized section all mowed. (with my son on his electric John Deere tractor driving around the whole time). Can't mow the "beach" too steep for the mower.

Looks like weedeating this weekend.....If I get another weed eater that is

No need to ask give'r pm's are always respond to. I have not been out west in a long time, I don't think I would like what I would see.

You break the weedeater too?

Get a real piece of equipment. Get Echo or Stihl from a dealer. Husqvarnas are also only good from a dealer. Echo is the only piece of equipment I would buy from a box store anyway.

The weed eater has been down a long time. Actually it pissed me off so bad I ran it over with the 4 wheeler a few times

It was old, my grandfather bought it from a local Good Will type store.

I just haven't replaced it yet.

Tell that to the homelite POS I have sitting in my backyard.

They're light and simple but VERY light duty.
