I'll try to schedule office visit for thursday early afternoon. I'll send a PM to set it up.

I wouldn't

Once you start down that path, that is the path. The torx option is off the table.

Are you around during the day? I have to go to the office in your area later this week and I can stop by and try to get them loose.

I give that almost a zero percent chance. Epoxy doesn't have much to grab onto in screw. Don't do it. If you try the torx way, a rubber strap wrench around the weight turning at the same time as a wrench on the torx may help to break it free. Once it starts moving you should be in good shape...

I agree with SC's path. If you want to play with fire you can pound a torx in and use that to turn out the screws. If you break off the torx, you are in a world of hurt and it makes drilling much harder.

Given that the cottage market currently has it's teeth kicked out, it's not a horrendous time to trigger deemed disposition. If you own it, that also allows you to use the renovation to increase your cost base and lower future taxes.

I'm assuming drifting it (and maybe even hard turns) may side load that bearing too.

A lot is driven my the NA desire (that most consider a need) for one bedroom per child (plus often a spare bedroom). If you try to get a condo with more than two bedrooms, normally one or more "bedrooms" can barely fit a bed. Stacking kids in a single room is a much more efficient use of space.

Most new buildings have shifted to purpose built rental. Thousands of new rental units coming online helps keep condo prices down as it should help keep rental rates down a bit and therefore lower investors bids. Obviously they aren't finished yet but the first batch should be occupied this year.

While I don't like soldering with it for many reasons, I have a tip similar to this for crap situations with no space. These days my eyes are worse than my hands and I haven't found a mantis at a price I am willing to pay yet.

The heaviness of the punch is immaterial. Anybody can be sued for anything, but based on the linked video, lawn guy would be playing with fire filing a lawsuit. Big guy chose not to have criminal charges laid against him but IIRC he has a few years where he could ask the cops to bring those...

Even in a poorly managed condo, it should be almost impossible. Everything they attached the new wall too, they don't own and aren't allowed to modify without written permission. Sometimes being on the board allows you to get away with crazy things.

Starting with SS's idea, build the basement as a two-bed cottage (with a hobbit height ceiling). When the time is right, you can redo the upstairs unit as it is entirely separate. Exterior enclosed staircase to allow transition between guest suite and main cottage. On the other side of the...

Grow op in basement to fund mcmansion cottage.

60W non-temp controlled is asking for trouble. 15W would be better for most people.

If you want to come to barrie, I can do it.surface tension on the solder allows close spacing without bridging. Easy to test after before applying power to confirm..

Especially where cops are on trial. There seems to be an exceedingly high error rate giving them a walk. No consequences for the cops that tank the cases though. Probably speeds a promotion along.

I don't know. I haven't talked to them for a few years. The last I heard they were thinking about a project on the mountain. I'll try to give Mike a call next week and see what's up. Fwiw, I have no financial connection to them. I did some work for them years ago and was impressed by them.

If you don't mind going further west (hamiltonish), valvasori makes a good product. The brothers run the company, are on site every day and really care about what they are selling.
