Ho fun rice noodles are one of my favourites, but I've never been able to find them in stores, either fresh or dry... In St. John's, I've checked Dominion and Just Goody Mart, and can't even find dry ones. They're the white, thin, wide rice noodles. Anyone know where to find these?

Our deck is a bit of a mess. Lots of spots are down to the bare wood. Some spots have stain, and I think paint was used in some areas.

I'm planning on pressure washing it, sanding it, and putting a solid stain on it.

Any recommendations on what stain works best in this climate? I heard I should get an oil based one. Is that true?

Hi there -

I have an LG dishwasher (LDF5545ST) that is leaking from the bottom. Anyone have experience with this model? I can't find any videos and very little for forum posts about this kind of issue. I was hoping there would be some obvious gasket to replace, or maybe the motor wouldn't be too expensive (but it's like $300).

LG has a flat rate for a repair, which is $270, so I may just go with that.

Any advice?

I'm looking to do some basic electrical work in my house: swapping out switches, receptacles, and light fixtures. I know that some cities allow these types of things to be performed by the homeowner, but I haven't been able to find any kind of bylaw for St. John's that allows this. All I've been able to read is that any electrical work needs to be done by an electrical contractor.

Can I do my own work? Do I need a permit?

Interested to know what the shipping times are like for things like bedframes, dressers, tables, ordered from Amazon, Wayfair, or places like that... for delivery to St. John's. Wondering if I can trust the shipping estimates that I see on Amazon, or if they'd be wildly off.

Also — is it possible to order bigger furniture from Ikea? I'd read there was a depot in Mount Pearl, but all the big stuff on Ikea says "Currently unavailable for delivery".

We're in the middle of moving here from Winnipeg, and have a lot of furniture to get sorted out!

Hi all - I'm trying to confirm the spoke lengths on a 1970 CB100. I've looked up the parts on Partzilla.com (Front, Rear)

So I have a few questions:

  • Looks like each wheel has two different spoke lengths -- 4 different lengths in total. This is normal for spoked wheels, right?
  • Is the first number (eg: 12x173) the gauge of the spoke? What unit of measure is that?
  • Is there a good source for metric length spokes, or is it just the same to find one at a similar length in inch

For the past couple weeks, whenever I run throught he Vault of Glass I have not been getting any loot from chests or after beating the Templar. The only things I get are the spirit bloom chest, and the reward for killing Atheon. My understanding is that this should reset every week, and that I should be getting loot - so it seems there is a problem here.

I tried it on Hard mode and got to the first chest which was empty...

Anyone else encountering this? I haven't been able to find anything related to this. I've posted to Bungie's help forum: http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/89075053/0/0

Thanks!
