I agree, but it all comes down to when the trigger is pulled on a buy and the time horizon before sale....

@mimico_polak to move or not is always a tough choice IMO. As for costs you highlighted the much higher ongoing expenses, the simple move itself will likely be a sunk 100K or close to it, land transfer tax on the buy, lawyer fees, moving costs, real estate fees on your sell, storage, etc...

I would just check the local storage places for rates. Organize better to move stuff in batches. Clutter can be determent to selling... a pod or whatever in the yard/driveway is another form of clutter. Another possible option, a friend of mine bought a cube van when they were in a similar...

I find benefits from curcumin (turmeric), it has anti inflammatory properties and I find it helps a lot with old man pains. I was taking collagen and I was finding many benefits BUT I am prone to keloids and a recent injury on my arm went keloid crazy when it healed and it just kept getting...

I used to toss brushes until I tried actual quality ones (and learned how to clean them), I am not going to toss a $20 to $30+ brush per room (I am not that baller) out of my laziness and no way I will go back to the cheap crap for quality painting. I have brushes that are now a decade+ old, no...

The cost of paint rollers if high enough now I started washing them out... In the past the most I would do is put them in the fridge to reuse as the project goes on and toss them when I was done with that paint, now I spend the time to wash them out to reuse over and over until they are...

These days I will only do Keg prime rib at one of the downtown locations (York St., Mansion) I am sure there are other locations that are good but in general all the other locations I have gone to lately it was super dried out, Sherway was the worst. Other steaks are generally OK at most...

From what I have heard the number of vehicles was inline with previous years, and represents around 3% of the Canadian market. Don't expect BYD anytime soon as they will need to go through Canadian approved crash testing and general certifications--those take time but may also require some...

Sadly this is not the first fire like this with acoustic foam panels... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_foam As for emergency exits, generally it was not something I would look for when out to a bar etc.

For Decathlon, I believe they have shut down most of their bricks and mortar stores outside of Quebec. If so, online only and then one will need the skills and basic tools to assemble and sort out the bike at home or pay someone else... Other than that I have been a fan. Low end stuff was...

Fajitas etc. when using cheaper beef cuts are prime examples where marinating can will improve the results. Sounds like an opportunity for a culinary skills uplift to broaden ones horizons... :) It has its place and baller top choice cuts are not it... it is a good skill to add IMO, YMMV.

Congrats, and lots of respect for all the hard work it took!

Latest population numbers for Canada show a decline.... yet no level of government is talking about the impact to housing. There are and will be buying opportunities for those that saved some and didn't YOLO away everything thinking they will never see a price decline.

@mimico_polak, like others have said a thermal camera and also to look for air leaks. You have that fireplace, if you don't use it make sure the flue is sealed up. If you do, make sure it is closed when not in use. If you find some rooms are better than others... having doors closed/open can...

@Hardwrkr13 I am with many others here that it does not look correct but that doesn't mean it is entirely wrong depending on what is under the floor. Being an island, maybe there is a trap hidden in the floor with venting??? That second capped drain pipe is also an oddity. An inspection camera...

I am not actually a big fan of the film but for some reason my wife bought me a smaller version of the lamp years ago...

I worked in a Niagara Falls hotel back in my late teens and replaced likely over 100 toilets over the years I worked there. Wax never leaked. It always shocked me how people break hotel toilets....

I am a wax guy personally, just don't cheap out---get one with the plastic core not just the wax. The only time I use a rubber one is if I know it will be temporary (like a reno) and I will need to take the toilet in and out. Like motor oil, you will also get the opposite advise....

This does not help for texts and emails... I have the disconnect triple tone as my voice mail message on our home phone. The calls have pretty much stopped. Depending on how they are set up, many/most autodialers remove disconnected numbers from the rotation--no point in wasting cycles calling...

We have the typical fancy stuff, cappuccino machine, French press, some Turkish deal, etc. We haven't had a classic drip/pot style one for a couple of decades. Day to day, the Keurig is the go-to. I get some don't like it but for us it does good enough and there is no fuss and it is on demand...
