I was at Ikea and happened to park across from the EV charger spots. Saw a lot of cars cruising past those empty spots looking for parking. Why do the EV spots have to be right at the front door? Driving an EV doesn't mean you are mobility impaired or struggling with little kids. Other than the...

North east of Kenndy and Bovaird. I used to be there.... till the cops started showing up on dirt bikes.

Like you, I'm getting my dad a Nest b/c my house experience was good. I'll setup and program it for him. The advantage with the Nest is the simple user interface for temperature adjustments. Just turn the big outside ring to change the temp. Don't have to mess with touch screen and menus.

Did you check the charging port for built up lint or other crap. Use a toothpick to clear it out.

Check the Ecobee or Nest site. They both have detailed install instructions. Typical thermostats are low voltage (24v) so no issue there. 1. Find the power switch at your furnace and turn it off. 2. Open you existing thermostat and take a picture of the wiring. Make sure you can read the...

My friend just got his Ecobee 3 yesterday. I have the Nest E. I would say the two are similar to the PC and Apple comparison. Ecobee shows you a lot more info and seems to have more options for you to tweek and play with. Whereas the Nest is packaged to make the user interface as simple as...

I got good referrals to these two companies when I was shopping for a furnace. Four Seasons Comfort in Brampton. http://www.fourseasoncomfort.com/ Applewood Air Conditioning in Mississauga http://www.applewoodair.com/site/home Ended up using Applewood. I think I get $50 if you end up buying...

Water and physical protection are 2 different issues with different solutions. BX/armored cable provides physical protection. Not rated for wet. There are rated cables for use in wet locations. These may or may not included physical protection. NMW, Teck cable, etc.

Spent a great day at MSLM yesterday. First ride in 3 yrs. Got there about 2pm while it was still snowing. Enough new soft snow that I wasn't riding on the "ice cap" that we usually find in Ontario. MSLM is better for me b/c I save an hour on the return trip, short lift lines (even during...

Baseboard heaters regularly turn up at the Habitat Restores. Usually $10~$20 ea.

Mt. St. Louis Moonstone has $4.50 lift tickets this Friday Dec. 22. Just have to bring along a food donation.

The NEST E doesn't have a programmable fan feature. Just a manual activated, timed operation.

You offered... I have an airtight fireplace insert (home) and another freestanding airtight wood stove (cottage). Where can I find info on rebuilding them into high efficiency, secondary gas reburners (without using catalyst )? Concept seems simple on the new units. But havent seen info on...

Good tip! I have to try this. I thought the fan would only be for the summer. And the NEST software is like crayon drawings compared to your Ecobee screen!

One thing not mentioned so far about the new smart thermostats is the built in "people home" sensor. In addition to your programmed heating schedule, it is also checking to see if anybody's home. If nobody is home, your schedule is automatically override with a system shutoff temp. So furnace...

I just got a nest installed last week Tuesday. South Mississauga. My sister called to join on Monday and she has install appointment for tomorrow (Thurs). Oakville area. Installer has to take 2 pictures of the old and the new thermostat. 1. Thermostat on the wall 2. Thermostat wired to wall...

Some dealers ask to see your own bike insurance before they will let you test ride. Applied to both dealer bikes and demo days when I was checking out Ducati.

Your lucky if you're not paid in full already. Lost my bike last Sept. Policy end date was May. Refund was not worth chasing. Edit: So I didn't cancel till the renewal came in. Price went from just under $900 to $2300 ! 100% at fault b/c bike slid off road and nobody else involved :(

Don't cancel your SV insurance policy. Just let it run to end of term before you cancel. That policy could cover your new bike test rides and getting the new bike home. You won't get anything back anyways.

About a year ago I went to HD for steel braided hose. They didn't carry them anymore. They had a shiny silver braided hose with plastic braiding on it so it looked like it was steel. I'll take another look the next time I'm in HD.
