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

    I need to replace the right side seal on mine. Also do some body work on the right front fender of the cage. :(

    Addresses with postal codes beginning with M9V and M9W, an area roughly stretching east from Hwy. 427 to the Humber River, and from Steeles Ave. W. south to Hwy. 401, will see their door-to-door mail delivery replaced with community mailboxes

    E bikes rampaging Toronto streets

    Echoing Dirty Franks comment about politics: I there anything annoying that doesn't have its roots with corrupt or inept politicians? Toronto will have a similar problem. Inept politicians with no foresight let a problem fester to the point where modest means can no longer treat the situation...

    Canada Post - Huge losses

    Make the box location the pit stop for your dog. If you have to put up with their s*** they have to put up with your pup's. FWIW A friend saw that they were going to put a busy bus stop in front of his house, made a fuss ad got it moved a couple of lots away. Research it before someone else...

    Impaired Driving Penalty Changes

    Going back to the original post: Ford is conservative but how many judges etc are Liberal? If a Liberal judge feels the mandatory penalty is too severe they may find the DUI not guilty to circumvent the issue thus making the situation worse. How many uninsured drivers get the full hit of the...

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    Is there a housing shortage or a shortage of personal money to buy a house? The issues, consumerized brain washing, entitlement, education, psychology, expectations etc are too large to fit on this forum but are being debated on the equivalent of bumper stickers.

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    What peeves me is the victim's rights to resolution being flushed down the toilet.

    Renting garage workspace

    I was on a service call at a condo in Cobourg and asked the property manager about motorcycles and parking. He was a nice old guy and said motorcycles weren't permitted due to the potential of tipping and fuel spills. Then he said "In reality they just don't want them." The place had one...

    I'd like to see the limitations on a panic stop.

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

    My house is a slightly smaller version of MPs. Side splits are difficult to make into anything else and look / work right, stairs everywhere. Making it right would cost more than tearing it down and building new unless setbacks came into play. The first few conversions set the pace and it...

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

    My 2 cents: Financially, what direction is the neighbourhood going long term? Go with the flow. Don't build a McMansion in a story and a half hood. Don't build a story and a half in a upcoming McMansion hood. 100% for your own long term use, whatever lights your fires.

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

    IMO make shift renos don't attract big buck buyers. Go big or go home. The financial math will be tricky. A friend topped his bungalow and it looked 100% modern from the street, first and second floor. The low basement told the truth.

    E bikes rampaging Toronto streets

    What scares me is a driver getting charged because they didn't avoid the idiot. A sidewalk: A sidewalk is a paved pedestrian path, typically made of concrete or asphalt, located along the side of a road. They are designed for pedestrian safety, accessibility, and sustainable mobility, often...

    How`s your house pricing doing?..

    A lot of the lockers I see are mesh cages with padlocks and hasps for security, not where I'd keep anything of value. Do many of those 400 SF condos come with parking? Is the builder going to sell you a 400 SF condo and give you 200 SF for your car. It's actually more than another 50% if you...

    How`s your house pricing doing?..

    If I could be satisfied with making wooden things smaller than a bread box I might be able to make it work. How may cuckoo clocks do I need? A friend showed me his battery table saw and in its case it looked like a chubby sewing machine. It was quiet and had an efficient dust control system...

    How`s your house pricing doing?..

    But where do you keep your stuff? Outside of NA do people have more control over buying stuff that needs to be stored instead of investing in activities.
