No fractional shares in that account? IME brokerages that do them will also do fractional drips.

IMO they are getting out of the way on this, motivation IDK. For perspective, if you head to a big box store and buy a shed in a box(es), there is no way the vast majority of them meet any kind of first world building code. It all goes back to only storage, if it falls down only your stuff gets...

Not intended specifically for you. The term is for content providers that just regurgitate other content providers' content as their own, no new information, just now in their words, take the other content as fact and promote is as fact making their own video. Their content is just derivative of...

That was the old size limit, Toronto adjusted the size to align with the newer Ontario code. Not all municipalities did. The old rules were 10 sq.m (108 sq.ft), the new rule is now 15 sq.m (160 sq.ft). Not sure of the old code but the 160 sq.m specifically says only storage.

Yes and no, it specifically states a shed "is used only for storage purposes ancillary to a principal building on the lot" and also notes no plumbing. That leaves out a cabana even if it does not have plumbing... It also leaves out (only for storage) a lot of "sheds" that are being used as back...

As I read it a deck needs permits if over 2 feet off the ground, I do not see a specific size limit if under that. The height IME triggers railing heights and safety considerations...

The aluminum foil trick works well on chrome as it is softer than the chrome but harder than the rust. The pits will still be there but it will look much better. As others noted, the fluid is for lubrication and water will work the same for all practical purposes. Coke etc. will just make it...

Toronto allows for sheds up to 160 sq.ft without a permit. Sir, that is not a BBQ cover it is a sideless shed.... that I have not done the siding on yet. Of course sheds need to be a min distance from the house so it may not be where one wants a BBQ cover.

I use a tracksaw (poor man's Kreg one that uses a circular saw) for most stuff now instead of hauling out the table saw. Table saw comes out just when it is really needed or if something is more or a production like scenario (many multiple identical cuts). It is also way better to break down...

For mini-splits they sell DIY ones like Mr Cool with charged lines but the non-DIY ones the unit is charged you need to vacuum the lines etc... Even though the cottage has heat if for whatever reason that source is not working a heat pump system can be a backup in winter until the temps get too...

On Bloor near Yonge yesterday, there was a collision between one of the motorcycle/sportbike looking ones and a car, I did not see the accident but I suspect the car was turning into a garage and the guy (in the bike lane based, likely flying as they all do) collided... normally the car's fault...

Wood Peckers eat wood boring insects. So my money is on carpenter ants, termites, etc. They could be in the wood siding but they could also be behind the stucco in sheeting etc. in that case.

I have considered using an old car stereo head unit for such a job, just need a power source (old laptop, higher power, PS will do the job). Not designed to get wet but they can handle the temps. The rub will be speaker impedance and efficiency. Regardless of what they claim, power supply wise...

Do you know what is under the panelling? More times than not panelling like that is covering plaster walls that were in rough shape and of course they are also full of little nail holes now...

Not saying it is right or wrong... but my neighbours built a very, very large deck over their old patio about a decade ago. Not how I would do it but... They used 2X6 joists/framing. They cut 4x4 posts up (say 6.5 inches) and just sat them on the old patio and bolted the deck framing to them...

I would just level the pavers, yes a PITA but likely the best solution height wise.

Just data points... items for thought. -Laminate flooring needs to expand and contract. How much of a problem this will be will depend on the distance and are the cabinets holding it in place at both ends. Longer the distance, the bigger the problem. -If you go under, I agree with others to...

It is like the studies that find crime rates initially go up but then eventually go down near drug injection sites. Crime rates going down or people giving up and crime reporting has gone down?

We have the mix, non stick, stainless, cast iron. They all have their place and purpose. For non stick, we stopped buying the inexpensive ones and we have a set of All-Clad and some other one from WS I can't remember the name at the moment. Hand wash only, plastic utensils only, they last many...

I had my roof done in 2018 and quotes at the time were pretty high as that year had a few bad storms and roofers were anything but hungry. Top quotes were 20K and change. Mids were 10K and change, there were a couple of shifty ones in the 5K range... We ended up going with one of the mids. The...
