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

    FWIW I was at Home Depot Sherway yesterday and they had 4 X 4 cedar posts in the cull lot. 70% off so about the same price as PT. They were still strapped in bundles and looked straight so I don't know why the cull price. You had to buy the bundle of 30.

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

    Decades ago I bought a 20' length of 1/4" X 4" aluminum flat bar and cut it into a few convenient pieces. With clamps, it lets me cut full sheets into sizes manageable on the table saw.

    Document Shredding Cost

    How secure does the shredding need to be? I used someone near 404 Steeles and they ribbon shredded which isn't that secure. A bit of clear tape and a page is readable in a few minutes. DND on the other hand has shredders at every desk feeding mini confetti by vacuum line to a dumpster fill...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    I try to compare that with my late mother's habit of gifting her senior friends copies of her latest cassette of Blue Spanish Eyes, transferred to a 99¢ Walmart blank. Seniors refuse to see that they don't own the rights to copy. Ask them how they would feel about living in a commune where they...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    My ICE burns 8 liters per 100 KM. 8 X $1.75 / 100 = $0.14 / Km I gather EVs typically get 4 Km per kilowatt of charge so at $0.15 / KWH propulsion is $0.15 / KWH / 4 = ~ $0.0375 / Km, about one quarter the cost of ICE. There are tons of variables but for BS propulsion numbers at 20,000 Kms a...

    E bikes rampaging Toronto streets

    I bought my Goldwing from a guy in suburban Detroit, big lots nice lawns. One of his neighbors is a neat freak and scolded him because of lawn clippings on the sidewalk. He hadn't had a chance to get the blower out yet. A week or so later Mr neat Nazi has a snootful and is riding his mower...

    Reverse mortgage...redux

    The lament of the elderly: "If I knew what was going to happen I'd know how to plan" You're in pretty good shape compared to many. But what if? I know of five families with children having development issues. What will happen to the kids? Non verbal autism in two cases and brain limitations in...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    It wouldn't surprise me if a ten year old ICE had an accumulated 8-10 thousand in tune ups, oil changes, filters, belt changes etc. The EV propulsion cost savings may have paid for the original cost premium, depending on driving. How will the EV dealers make up for the loss of ICE service...

    So how much was the cell replacement? How many cells are there in total and what is the chance of another cell going flat in a relatively short time?

    Sea container storage.

    There are numerous articles on why cans, designed for shipping don't make good houses without a ton of modifications, largely insulation. Depending on the method chosen the can could be thought of as the equivalent of siding for a conventional shed. Foaming a container goes from ~ $2K to $8K...

    Sea container storage.

    Condensation in a container would supposedly be similar to walking around outside wearing glasses in winter and then coming inside. The cold glasses immediately fog up. Your jacket doesn't because of thermal mass and conductivity. I see the same think happening when warm air enters the...
