For those looking to get together with friends at home instead of eating out. AND save a few bucks... Years ago we used to do cooking nights, all were at my place but the chef for each night rotated through the group. The chef planned the entire meal, they bought/brought the ingredients and...

From a marketing perspective it is too bad they didn't get another year or two and drive the buy Canadian, it may have helped... although owned by US and products come from overseas but I said marketing not reality... There are no surprises with this but we did note during xmas shopping that...

We go out to eat on average twice per week. Some weeks more some weeks less. We have a good range of places (pubs, ethnic, fancy) all walking distance (few blocks) and we typically range from $70 to $150 for my wife and I with drinks but it can go much higher at the nicer places (less often) or...

There is only one logical step forward, Canada Post needs to take over The Bay. /s

Depending on the size a couple of wood straps is all you need. Secured to the existing drywall on each side and spanning the hole. Secure the patch to them. I wouldn't take down an entire sheet unless I really had to.

Is there a range of blocked IPs? Starting a few weeks ago the site became unreachable from my home IP but I can reach it via cell, from work or from any other IP all with the same devices. Around the same time my home routers IP changed (from ISP work).

PSA.... check that the power is off even if you turned the power off. Bathroom reno in progress and I turned the power off to the room some time ago. I was finishing up the wiring yesterday in prep for drywall and I got lifted pretty good. Turns out my wife tripped another breaker and turned...

Check the gauge of wire it may already be sufficient for 50 amps (#6) but like others said it is unlikely you would trip the 40 amp breaker unless you turn everything on... Don't swap out to a 50 amp breaker unless the wiring can handle it. Also make sure the current wiring is grounded. You are...

Sadly the weight loss is (likely) mostly water weight (from dehydration) and liver glycogen reserves. Which will come back fast once over the virus. A pound of fat is ~3500 calories. Eight pounds of fat in three days is a 9,333 calorie deficit per day which is very unlikely. At most two pounds...

https://www.ctvnews.ca/barrie/article/muskoka-store-reopens-with-nostalgic-twist-one-year-after-fire/ Appears there was a fire sometime in the last few years and they reopened in an adjacent property. So was this the new store or the old fire damaged one? If the fire damaged one maybe the roof...

I hope this is actually something that catches on...

When using a tow rope or strap to pull someone out drape a blanket or jacket over it at the mid point. If one end lets go under load for whatever reason the rope/strap will now fold at the mid point instead of flying back and nailing one of the vehicles...

If I had the guts it would be short, short, short time... The multiple on the stock is crazy and has been for forever. As a car company they should be a $30 stock and with declining sales on the way down. At the same time even with all the pullback the stock is higher right now than it was on...

It is paid out with taxes deducted. As an employee every bonus I have ever received from any company had taxes deducted... But in the same context it could just be regular pay: They take $100 per pay and put it into the group RRSP pretax vs Same $100 pretax in pay that gets taxed at 50% and you...

My shot at the dumb question of the day... RRSP Contribution Scenario Lets say you have a 10K (for easy math) bonus and your employer offers to pay it out or to contribute to an corporate group RRSP. Also for easy math assume a 50% tax bracket for all math, no TVM, an RRSP that will be flat...

Are you more concerned that it is making the overall space colder or that it is making your feet cold? If it is feet, a good solution is rubber mats where you commonly walk and stand. If it is the overall space, is the garage heated?

I drink the Rockwool koolaide... I just get annoyed these days when what and why is difficult or impossible to find.

Differences between Rockwool Comfortbatt R22 vs R24... When I ramped up my renos a few years back I noticed there were two different versions for 2X6 wood with 16" spacing Rockwool. At the time I didn't think anything of it, I assumed one was old stock and the other new and improved (or just...

Pretty much this other than last legs. We have a Kobalt corded electric one and we had no issues with this snow fall and we have very little in the way of snowbanks as it spreads it out more. The secrete to using these lighter duty machines is to not let it get too high. Start closest to the...

I always use my CC for non cash over debit due to the "end user agreements/risk". Like many I have for most of my life paid it off each month and no real debt these days but of course mortgages etc. before. Unlike some here I wasn't always a baller and when I was in my early 20s there were...
