FWIW, two local sales in west Toronto both ~ 60 years old but done up to sell. One with a pool listed at $1.685 M sold for $1.630 M. The other was what I would call a front split, two story on the street side and one story facing the back yard. Listed and sold for $1.488 M in two days. I...

I thought the city didn't like garburators.

Is my garden branch trimming saw legal? I can't recall the make but it has an orange plastic handle encasing the blade. I realized I can press the release and with a flick of my wrist the blade pops out. The blade length is about ten inches.

People have been trashed over pointing a finger and imitating pulling a trigger. A LEO does it with a loaded side arm???

It takes about four miles of running to work off the calories from a donut. Unfortunately the donut shop is only a half a mile away. A Timbit would be a break even.

Joseph Lucas didn't die. He moved to China.

Small areas are more susceptible to parasitic loss from necessities. If someone pictures 450 square feet it doesn't seem that bad. Then take 45 SF off for the bathroom, 40 SF for interior walls, 25 SF for closets, 20 SF for an entry foyer, kitchen cupboards etc. A staircase is a vertical...

What's happening to Wasaga Beach, house wise? It used to be cottages only but is now a year around home community with most amenities. Which market do you build for, a home or a second (Toy) property? Cottage real estate isn't doing well. What would the final cost be with windows, electrical...

Is it a space or time thing? I tend to drive cautiously so occasionally a person in a hurry cuts inside of me. That could draw a HTA-172 for out accelerating. You don't have to be pointed in the same direction while trying to gain an edge.

I worked summers at a dairy, the guy in white with gum boots stomping through your chocolate milk.

Nothing is cheaper than Costco's hot dog deal. A dog and all the sugar water you want for $1.50 +tax. If you ask they will give you onions. Pizza and a pop are ~ triple the price. Hot dogs are cheaper and require less prep. The meat is basically skinny bologna and can be eaten unheated, a cold...

Anyone that hasn't kept up with CRA rules on principal residence status might get a serious wake up call. There was a big change in late 2016 and more to come. When my M-I-L passed away in 2019 the executor wasn't aware of the changes, having dealt with his on mother's estate a few years...

Ahhh Toronto the good. I go to thrift stores for kicks and sometimes come up with great finds in hardware and kitchen stuff. Last week I was making my way across the store from one department to another and passed through women's wear. A chubby old babe decided to try on a new to her top and...

They may be psychologically screwed into dumping the Aldershot place. Unless they have a secret game plan they probably lost equity on both properties and are paying an expensive waiting game that will show as a steep cliff on their net worth chart regardless of where they end up. If they dump...

In our area days on the market are typically around a month. To me that's a healthy amount of time for a decision on a major purchase. The bidding wars, with parked cars full of hopefuls parked at the curb are gone.

To be honest I've been the repair business most of my working life and make or model is a common question. I usually bite my tongue when challenged on the question but I'm not playing 20 questions. Every product has its idiosyncrasy and it's a waste of everyone's time if the product comes in...

Mississauga transit has a looney a ride for seniors in of peak times.

Another fail in long term planning for the politicians. It's what happens when people fail to take into account sustainable long term growth. Their only interest is re-election and favouring their friends. A hijack but if they want healthy conditions for senior citizens it's too late for the...

Progress? Have they added any Ford model T's to their fleet and are the rumours of a Curtis Biplane premature? How long is five years in billions of dollars. New harness, same dead horse.
