Potentially going there for work. Can you suggest a place to live?
Dont want to bunk with 6 other guys. What is reasonable? $1500 a month for a small suite? More? PM me please. |

I pay $1430 a month here in the crack towers..
Its ghetto, but i spend most my life working anyways. With rent@0% avaliablity, you better have some stellar luck on your hands.
Check out Ft mcmurray today@ www.fortmcmurraytoday.com
You might be better of renting a room. |

| My buddy had a room or two left in his house that he just bought when I spoke with him last week. If you're interested I can check with him to see what's available. |

Yeah please do.
If I do go up, it would be working with Suncor. Therefore, a place close to bus that takes me there would be ideal.
Also, internet access, non-smoking would be great.
Definitely not into a party house or drugs.
Looked into FM today and saw some possible rooms for rent.
Suggestions welcomed.
Thanks. |

Thanks guys.
To keep me entertained, probably would like to find a gym that is close by, and some interesting shops :-) |

This is Fort Mac your talking about. There is absolutely nothing interesting in that town except for showgirls (which has the nastiest chicks ever). There is a gym downtown you can go to and thats about it. I did the Suncor thing for 2.5 years and had to leave that town. It was driving me insane plus I didn't get to drive my car much because it was in Edmonton. I'm also assuming that you are not going to be a commuter on your 6 days off back to Calgary?

I figure I will give it a try for 6 months. I have an 00 ITR in Calgary
and might sell it. Work is basically 5 days, 8 hours, may be some OT. On the weekend I might fly home every couple weeks. Will see. I haven't signed the contract yet.
Hey any grappling school there? Or full contact martial art places?
Too much to ask for? ;-) |

You get sick of flying back just for 1.5 days off. I would just relocate to the Mac and be done with it. I'm assuming that you are a contractor to/at suncor and not a Suncor employee.

| Haha I would think thats too much to ask for, I didn't see any up there. There are 2 gyms (I went to the one near the supermarket, in the basement). I liked the days away from that place, any time at all, even when I bused back. |
|

| I was gonna just fly up, and bus everywhere. Is that feasible? A guy told me it's good idea to have a car there. I don't want to take my ITR though. |
|

| Bus? I dunno about that...you can walk though. I say buy a beater for up there, you'll be making enough cash and it's really nice to have a set of wheels up there. |

I drive up ever 6 days, but I'm lucky I stay with my parents...:blue:
I have been doing it for the last 4 mths & it hasn't been to bad.
But I live in Ft mac for 15 years, I had to get out. |
|
|
| d.maczko |
yep, nuff said ft mac sucks unless you love your money
i used to live there for 16 years, then i finally got out and came here. much better.
there is nothing to do there on your days off but drink and party, gets kinda boring after every cycle.
good luck |
