    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    Open walls are still usable. I would leave paneling on one side of each wall if possible for privacy. If you can't, no big deal, stuff batts in or staple up some super 6 or tyvek temporarily. Easy to remove just before inspection. Insulating interior walls cuts down on noise and given the small...

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    I have a composting toilet for the pool. Expensive and not ideal for your use case. I'd investigate a cartridge toilet. Basically gives you a dried out cow paddy to throw out. Could go in the bunkie when you build it and live in basement as emergency capacity for now.

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    I was referring to the auto divisions in Canada. Nissan also has other divisons that may suck less.

    Gasoline Dirt Bikes and E-Bikes All Over GTA Streets

    In short, no. E-bikes were never banned. Many of the DUI mobiles/motorcycle reps are not ebikes by definition, they are illegal motorcycles (no proper VIN, no insurance, no plates, no registration, improper helmet, etc). All powered scooters are illegal in Toronto. Cops just dgaf.

    Impaired Driving Penalty Changes

    It is not based on having a drink, it requires a DUI conviction. If you are driving over 0.08, it doesn't matter if a sober guy is partially liable. The DUI driver made intentional choices and now gets to live with the consequences.

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Wow. That's different. The old leafs (and similar turds like Mini/golf/smart/etc) were barely competent as in-city run-arounds. I still wouldn't really want to own a Nissan though. Nissan and Mitsu are circling the drain imo.

    How`s your house pricing doing?..

    In a similar law of unintended consequences, a GTA municipality used to have a good tree cutting bylaw. You were allowed to cut two trees a year for any reason. More than that required paperwork. The councilors led by stupidity decided to change the bylaw to one similar to toronto where every...

    Where to get a puppy?

    Our rescue requires a martingale collar to pick up the dog. They are soft choke collars with a built in stop so they don't get too tight. The training place we went to required a harness with a ring at the front of their neck. Fred does ok but is not perfect with either. We used a haltie for...

    How`s your house pricing doing?..

    If the town/historical society truly believes they are worth saving, the property owners should be responsible for paying current market prices for modern repairs (eg shingles or standard casement windows) and the town/historical society should foot the bill for the historical portion of the...

    How`s your house pricing doing?..

    The interesting question is how much structural spending they built in. Things like taking out 10 year sponsorship/naming rights deals on unrelated facilities continue to hammer cash flow even after incoming money dries up. Colleges has always been much less likely to grant tenure so there are...

    Where to get a puppy?

    Still have any of gramps old supplies? One of my university profs had a 5 gallon bucket of mercury in his garage. I couldn't get him to give me some. He's got to be dead by now. Not sure what happened to the stash.

    Looking for Spoked Motorcycle Wheel Straightening in Ontario

    Can't you see his picture? Major pothole or curb. Rim inverted at impact location. Aluminum rim would be garbage, steel may be salvageable with some effort.

    The new lawn tractors are junk.

    You might have been better with a standup. Your current beast has a huge footprint.

    E bikes rampaging Toronto streets

    I haven't seen that. If you have a suspended license for a criminal charge (which could happen with a DUI), you can't operate one. If the license is reinstated, I think you can operate anything. " If a driving prohibition was imposed following conviction under the Criminal Code, that driver...

    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    Bad tow truck drivers count? Dirt bikes seized from hooligan kids in brampton. Tow truck just piled them on a flat bed and strapped them down. What kind of BS is that? https://toronto.citynews.ca/2026/08/14/3-teens-charged-for-reckless-driving-of-dirt-bikes-in-brampton-peel-police/

    E bikes rampaging Toronto streets

    Brad Bradford ranting about "mini-motorcycles" aka DUI mobiles. He wants them licensed and insured. Good luck with that. I don't disagree with his opinion but realistically, insurance is not going to happen. Allowing police to immediately seize bikes in contravention makes sense. That will...

    Or the wheels are actually going 100 kph and this rider is pulling off a huge slide. I doubt it is possible to get out of the situation in that pic without crashing.
