A buddy does it. Because of the shared spaces it is a rooming house and LTB has little to no say in the matter. It depends on access to facilities. With the right access the roomer is considered and occupant, not a tenent. Rent out three bedrooms instead of a three bedroom apartment for about...

Sled dogs come in various breeds, Samoyeds, Malamutes, Siberians. All are lovable. White dogs are like black cars, hard to keep clean.

Around here a groundhog would need a ladder to get his head above the snow, so what's the call? During peak sow a rabbit cut across the back yard but all I could see was its head popping through the snow very foot or so, like a porpoise. FWIW I tried snowshoeing for the first time yesterday...

240 volt plug in Similar to this, 20 ampere circuit is running 100% but rules were meant to be broken. P.S. Poor seals also allow in critters that chew stuff. I noticed my seals were also leaky.

My garage has 2" of FG in the outside walls and an insulated door. It's toasty warm when I run a 5Kw heater and never freezes as it picks up heat from the rest of the house. Like yours, a bedroom above and two warm walls. When I had an industrial unit with next to no insulation I set the...

A select few have moved to Forest Hill and Rosedale. :(

Sadly, the hype often results in little hope as people fail to realize the stage of the supposed cure. Then there's the embellished version as the article gets passed on. Someone finds a new berry growing somewhere as says it might be a cancer cure. The info gets passed on that they're going to...

If you make the dungeon look nice does it make the rest of the house look less nice by comparison?
