Fab something like they use at provincial camp grounds?

 

[stevebradford]

I worded that poorly.

I need an enclosure to fit three wheelie bins per unit, garbage, compost and recycling. Preferably doesn’t look trashy and with a roof so recycling like cardboard doesn’t get soaking wet. Might pull the trigger on a few of these even though I think a bear could easily mess it up.

Most I know who live in the woods have dogs or burn their garbage and don’t have problems but that’s not an option here. Just wondering what people are using out there.

There are a bunch on the interwebs. The good looking ones are not cheap.

What do you guys use for bear proof garbage enclosures?

My one tenant got chased around the house trying to scare off three bears that were ripping in half their locked plastic wheelie garbage bins.

I like that brown one with the 3 cans in it.

 

[stevebradford]

Yeah me too, for 3000$ American it should be likeable!

 

[seapotato]

Yeah me too, for 1700$ it should be likeable

For 1700 it should shave and turn those bears into sausage.

Do you like these tenants? Bears could be your escape clause

There you go.

Pop out the seats, custom paint, you'll be the talk of the neighborhood.

Won’t affect me they say! I’m gonna keep on driving.

Well another reason town people won’t be driving much in the future is they will spend most their time going nowhere, idling. As the population gets denser, vehicles are confined to fewer roads a single road or lane closure to repair any and all of Victoria’s infrastructure that all lies underneath our roads or an accident will congest or even gridlock most of the city.

I’m seeing it almost once a week now.

Carbon tax is going to be 61 cents a litre in the new year with the increase.

Also don’t bother trying to go to or leave Victoria at the moment again..

I went down a bit later than planned on Thursday to see Nick and grab a wrench. Langford mayor LOVES the fact it’s the fastest growing city in Canada. Trudeau needs us as a dumping ground for new people no one wants. Greenies say ‘no one drives any more, they take bicycles’ meanwhile 4 highway lanes into 2 highway lanes with 3X population and the FIRST thing new people buy is a car, cause back home the terrorists/government
( whoever we hate today ) blew them up! I give up. FYI I didn’t vote for anyone currently in charge. Gotta go, sale on ammo at Cabelas!

Simple solutions to your problem in those pictures. A: drive in meridian. B: drive on other side of the highway Lol!

I'm glad I live pretty close to work and don't face the Western Communites crawl every day.

We don't need a median, we need a proper paved 6 lane highway. Screw the grass in the middle,
pave it or make it high speed rail line. Screw the environment, pave it all.

The westshore crawl has always been slow for the 23 years of the every week day commute I been driving it but it’s way worse in the last few years since the mass expansion of housing.

I do the commute then I deal with the silly townies fighting for parking to work on their s*** while fighting off crackheads. Few see as much and deal with Victoria as I do.

It’s total s*** and not going to get better, I can’t believe people want to live as they do. The only reason I haven’t left is it’s making me money and I’m eyeing up retiring.

That's the mission, the end game. Same.

The only reason the CEO is fear mongering rate hikes is he figures he’s worth more. Wants a 3 million annual salary’s and bonuses. These ferries are raking in profit. Any nitwit with half a brain could take that money and ensure we have a sustainable fleet. But they’ll piss it away on some foreign builder instead of a proper bidding process and how about maybe make them in Canada. Not Poland or wherever the heck they made the last batch.
Live by one decree and lie an excessive degree. Typical Canadian policy. Then pay themselves billionaire bonuses cause they think they are so clever - idiots.

I came across this article about these new revolutionary "fast ferries" from somewhere in Europe. Someone should pitch BC Ferries the idea...

 

[bladedog]

Mmmm... fast ferries.
That whole debacle brings back memories of political ineptitude.

I didn't like riding in it. Cold beer can atmosphere.

Bagged up some debris from the boulevard tree. I’m going to need to get creative… the cubic yard bag is stupidly heavy.

We have traffic minute here in Courtenay and I still want to run over people. Best of luck!
