You could get a condensate pump and pump the water into a proper drain if you wanted to. That's actually how mine is set up. It drains into a condensate pump and then the condensate pump transfers the water outside onto the ground.


I’m putting a dry bar (no sink) in our dining room. Would like to have an icemaker but there’s no other drains in the room.

Sure but you have to drill a hole in your house.


Seems easier than drilling a hole in wood floors and slab to put in a drain.

Theres a catch basin i could route it to or tap it directly into the pvc which is under black slate rock. How much water are we talking/day. I was thinking less than gallon but sounds it ‘s more than that.

Icemaker

Posted by Tigers13 on 10/1/25 at 1:30 pm
This is probably a dumb question but i haven't been able to find a good answer on the internet. I want to install an undercounter icemaker against an exterior wall in my house. On the other side of the wall, I have a flower bed with stormwater drains between the bed and my house. My question, can route the icemaker drain through the wall and into the stormwater drain? I know it's against code but will it cause me any real problems? I don't plan on selling my house anytime soon....if ever. Thanks

re: Boxwoods turning brown

Posted by Tigers13 on 9/26/25 at 1:37 pm to
Cut the branches off that are brown at the base. You may have a soil issue if they all are turning brown. If it's a mix of healthy looking plants and dying plants, your best bet is to pull the dying ones....if it's blight, it will spread. I've had good luck with the New-Gen blight resistant boxwoods.

Dinner in Shreveport? - Zuzul Coastal

Posted by Tigers13 on 7/3/25 at 12:21 pm
We'll be in Shreveport tomorrow night for dinner. Found this place online and booked a reservation. Just testing if it's good or if we should look at another place. I'm not familiar w/ the Shreveport dining scene. We have been to Ki Taco but looking for something different.
Contrary to most travel advice, we did this trip earlier this year and loved it:

Land in Dublin and drive to Dingle
2 Nights in Dingle
Drive to Cliffs of Moher (Stay in Doolin)
Drive to Ashford Castle (2 nights)
Drive to Bushmill Inn (Giant's Causeway)
Drive to Dublin with a stop at the Titanic Museum in Belfast
2 nights in Dublin

Honestly, our least favorite was the Cliffs of Moher. Giants Causeway is a much better experience. Doing it again, I would plan another stop between Ashford Castle and Bushmill Inn......either Galway or Sligo.

If you enjoy Michelin star type dining, make sure to get a reservation at Taniere in QC. We just back from Napa and had dinner at French Laundry and Single Thread and I would put Taniere comfortably ahead of those two. Also, you get to enjoy the relative strength of the USD! :usa:
I dont think it should be reviewable. Hitters are taught to go to the ball on every pitch….theyre not expecting to have to avoid it. They’re swinging until the last split second, it’s every hitters approach….rule needs to be changed…it should only be called when blatant.

Go to the Fairmont hotel and hike around their lake and the property. We drove to Maligne Lake and hiked it.


What's the parking situation for these two areas?

Appreciate the reply, the Maligne Canyon is closed, thats what we wanted to do. So far, we’ve booked tix on the Skytram and plan to hike up to the top of Whistler and food tour in Jasper. Thinking about the Dark Sky experience, was wondering if anyone could comment on that. Is it worth it? It starts at 11:30pm-Thx

Jasper NP

We're going to have two days at the end of next week. Looking for some suggestions. The boat lake tour is all booked and we're travelling with children ranging from 8-12 years old.

Banff/Jasper - Big Group

Posted by Tigers13 on 5/20/25 at 9:19 am
We'll be in Banff for 3 days and then traveling to Jasper where we'll have 2 days. Our group is 6 adults and 9 kids ages 8-18 y.o., plus a 3 year old (which complicates things).

We're planning to do a private raft with Wild Water Adventures (the one that allows 8 yos; 3 yo will stay back w/ mom) one day while we're in Banff. Also planning to do a Glacier private tour with Ice Walks on our travel day from Banff to Jasper.

Looking for other suggestions that would work for our group. We'll have different levels of hikers so I'm thinking of things like Lake Louise, w/ half of our group just going to the lake and the other half hiking up to the Tea House. Not sure what my chances are for getting shuttle passes for 16, knowing it'll have to be two separate reservations; any advice there is greatly appreciated. Also intrigued by Yoho and that area if it's less crowded and easier to navigate with a big group. I always get great advice from here and appreciate everyone's input!

re: Sammy’s On Highland!

Posted by Tigers13 on 3/31/25 at 12:37 pm to
Le Chein is another really solid option if you don't mind driving to Denham Springs. I would put them above Sammy's and Lakeside and it's good for kids.
I seem to remember ours rattling from the level glass that was on the base. We popped it out and rattling stopped.
For a stroller, buy a Mountain Buggy Nano. It folds up to the size of a briefcase, it's light, and it has some capacity for storing diaper/wipes/shopping bags. We have 4 kids and travel a decent amount. Just got back from London & Ireland with it. It was one of the better child investments for us. If we're doing ride share/taxi, we don't use a car seat, just hold the baby in our lap, to each their own in this regard. If we're renting a vehicle, we rent a car seat with the vehicle.

re: Dublin and London

Posted by Tigers13 on 1/15/25 at 12:17 pm to
In Dublin, I would rent a car for a day and drive up to the Giant's Causeway, Carrik-a-Rede, and the Titanic Museum. It'll be a full day but well worth it. If you wanted to stay in N. Ireland for a night, get a room at the Bushmills Inn. I've done both, and would rate this well ahead of the Cliffs of Moher. The cliffs on Giant's Causeway are more impressive, scenic, and accessible.

In Dublin, Book of Kells, Temple Bar, Guiness Store.
For backpacks, checkout Gregory Boarder Traveler 30......also comes in a 40. Best travel pack I've seen with a split case design and an odor proof compartment for dirty clothes/shoes........or for the OP butt plugs. :lol:
