Did the sales order have "subject to financing with deposit refundable" on it? If not, then you basically have given them an iron clad sales contract. It's the oldest trick in the book for vehicle sales people. They tried it on my son a couple of weeks ago. He called me from the dealership...

The Millard trial is preparing to start soon. Apparently it is being expedited. It seems quiet now, but that's only because the guy is just sitting in jail waiting for trial. In short, nothing to report. We've been following this closely, as Tim was my wife's cousin.

One problem that I know of when using unconventional financing that a broker sometimes lines up is flexibility. A friend of mine used a broker and wound up with Zurich life insurance as the mortgage holder. He then bought another house and it had an earlier close than the one he sold. Zurich...

If your credit is OK and you are dealing with your bank, then you need not enlist the help of a broker. Shop your mortgage around to the major banks and go in armed with knowledge about what the best rates are.

Maybe designed for this guy?

It may seem crazy, but prices here are competitive compared to other countries. Just take a look at LA, London, Paris, or Rome. Prime real estate carries a premium. Vancouver is a nice place to live and real estate in Vancouver proper is in high demand internationally. It's all relative. If...

It's a relatively easy process to get a permit. I do it all the time. It would be a mistake to skip it to save "hundreds". Think about it, you're getting a service which makes sure your contractor is doing it right.

I've had nothing but success with Toyota. All the way back to my '87 Celica. My '07 Tundra refuses to break or wear out. 240,000km, not a squeak or a rattle. It never ceases to amaze me and its been paid off 4 years now. Just my experience.

Those Qataris that terrorized Beverly hills were only too lucky that they didn't hit somebody. I'll bet that drugs or alcohol was involved there as well.

Agreed. Trust no one.

I wouldn't want to be him today. Drunk driving, grandfather killing child killer. I try not to judge, but three kids under ten years old is hard to take. If you're an old drywaller like me, you know the name. Marel is the largest drywall company out there and only one part of the family's...

But at 300lbs you could roll with it. As long as you don't get caught in a tumble.

I saw a group of SS riders heading up the Bayview extension coming home from the game last night. I was expecting them to hammer it after the Rosedale Valley Road light. The road does beckon there and its easy to open 'er up. But they were just booting around, having fun and enjoying the ride...

Geez... Potentially damaging the brand there. Even without the wobble, I can't imagine the Harley winning in a head to head competition with the Beemers for the CHiP's. Maybe time for some young whippersnappers to redesign the HD, with heritage in mind but trying to incorporate modern performance.

For three weeks is teeing it up worth it? Being a landlord, I can tell you that being nearby your rental is important for the many things that do crop up. In my mind AirBnB is for a house that you yourself do not occupy, unless in part. I can't imagine someone in my personal home while I'm...

4000.00 seems low. Maybe too low. I would get at least one more price, but three is better. I helped a friend do his basement bathroom a few years ago and it was about 10,000.00. Not fancy either. The plumbing alone was 4000.00. I've managed about 20,000,000.00 worth of construction so far this...

My current project has them throughout. Made by Teknion and I understand that they're quite popular.

I usually only custom-make stuff at home because it allows me to make something that looks like it belongs there. But I have to say that on my last two houses, in some cases I bought cabinets and made them into built in's. You may have seen them do this on a lot of the HGTV programmes. It's...

This one is a commercial unit for a television and web based production company. They use it for colour correction in whatever production programme they're making before they put it on TV or the web. To make a 98" picture of that quality that will last costs big bucks. Definitely not something...
