🏡 Happy European Neighbors’ Day! Let’s Fence Off the Drama and Build Bridges Instead! 🌉 A few days ago, we celebrated European Neighbors’ Day, a perfect occasion to recognize the diverse tapestry of communities around the world. As a fence manufacturer, we know a thing or two about boundaries, but hey, let’s not fence ourselves in too much! 😉 In the spirit of fostering camaraderie and good vibes among neighbors, here are a few friendly reminders: Chat Over the Fence: No need to shout across the hedge or rely on carrier pigeons. Take a stroll, wave hello, and maybe even share a cup of sugar. Who knows, you might discover your neighbor makes a mean lemonade! Respect the Property Line: Just like a well-built fence, boundaries are essential. Let’s respect each other's space and privacy while keeping the lines of communication open. Neighborhood Watch, Not Stalk: While keeping an eye out for each other’s safety is commendable, let’s leave the detective work to Sherlock Holmes. No need for binoculars and trench coats! Fence Upgrade, Anyone?: If your fence is looking a bit worse for wear, perhaps it's time for an upgrade. Our team is here to help you build a boundary that not only keeps things secure but also adds to the charm of your neighborhood. So here’s to European Neighbors’ Day, where fences are for marking boundaries, not dividing communities. Let’s raise a toast to friendship, unity, and maybe a bit of friendly banter over the garden fence. Cheers! 🥂🏘️ #EuropeanNeighborsDay #FenceHumor #fence #fences #fencemanufacturer #FenceEtiquette

Scotland’s magnificent natural heritage has the potential to make us physically stronger, more confident, more productive and readier to go the distance to get the things we really want. To make this possible we’re going to draw on a range of traditional outdoors skills including: Building, lighting and maintaining a campfire Using traditional tools such as axe, knife and bucksaw. Cooking on a fire: Soup, stew, bread, meat. We’ll also throw in a desert! Shelter building; individual and group versions There’s another reason we’re doing this. We’re going to have some practical, no BS discussions around the campfire, the way men have discussed things since for about a million years. No ceremonies, no gongs, no rituals and no pressure to talk. We’ll look at important things like being physically and mentally resilient. We'll examine some ways in which you can use the outdoors to quickly reset your mental baseline and make yourself physically stronger. It’s as important today as it was when Robert the Bruce led his troops onto the field of Bannockburn. https://lnkd.in/ePBEtbmf

Really important message for all residents - but perhaps even more so for landlords and fire risk assessors. We've recorded temperatures of over 1000deg for a 4-wheel bin full of recyclables - this is not a small fire. Bins should be secured at least 6m away from building openings, or within a suitably fire-resistant structure. #fireriskassessment #flats #socialhousing

For today’s #throwbackthursday, I’d like to take you all on a trip down to the Fraser River. It’s a historical landscape of sorts, one that you can easily “visit” by Skytrain, just between the Columbia and Sapperton stations. It’s also one of my favourite scenic landscapes in the Lower Mainland, one that I see on my commute every day. The first photo, circa 1865, was likely taken just before (or after) the Columbia Detachment (the Sappers) were recalled elsewhere after several years of work (first landing in 1859) – with their camp dismantled. While we can only imagine what the lands once looked in their original condition, we can essentially see the full extent of the Sappers' work near their original landing: the lands are cleared and partially graded with a dirt wagon road with power poles installed along the way, paired with a boardwalk over on the left side of the picture. There’s even a liquor store in the shot, a vital asset to any burgeoning B.C. community. One of the reasons why I wanted to share this story today was to show that sometimes, despite all the changes around us, sometimes things “stay the same.” The sandbar-like islands are what originally caught my eye – formerly home to a temporary camp, they are still forested (and now unpopulated) to this day, surrounded by log booms bound for destinations unknown. It’s almost the exact same view as it was over a century ago, and remarkably, it's one that you can even still enjoy today.
