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

    I read their revews The Cons: Common Complaints Mold & Trapped Moisture: Forum users strongly agree that using overlays (putting a new liner over an old tub) carries a high risk of trapping moisture, which can cause leaks and mold growth behind the new surfaces. [1] High Costs & Aggressive...

    E bikes rampaging Toronto streets

    Here's the problem. Illegal transportation has become so rampant our highways, streets, sidewalks and parks have become the wild wild west to the point illegal operations have integrated with our economies. Schools may not be convenient in new developments and school buses could be a heavy...

    Dealer Demo Ride: "If you break it, you buy it!"

    Write offs come out of profit but if a manufacturer is healthy enough the occasional hit shouldn't hurt too much. Dealers have smaller budgets. The factory might farm the repairs out to a dealer because factories run production lines far differently than a repair shop. Stopping a production...

    E bikes rampaging Toronto streets

    We were getting on a bicycle trail clearly signed “No Motorized Vehicles “ and saw a couple getting their e-bikes ready to roll so I mentioned the NMV sign. She indignantly replied “They’re electric “ Duh

    While I an be a rules Nazi I can look the other way when parents are there teaching the kid cautions. Do we bust a three year old "Driving" a scaled down M-B electric plastic toy car on a sidewalk? This one has a parental remote

    E bikes rampaging Toronto streets

    The “E” should cover any powered vehicle not covered by already licensed vehicle regulations. By separating e-scooters, mobility devices, stand up scoots, e bikes etc we are losing sight of the overall problem. A 51 year old man, on a riding mower was hit and killed near Kitchener. Common...

    How`s your house pricing doing?..

    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...

    The knife thread

    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.

    Did you exercise today?

    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.

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

    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...

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

    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...

    Turning left at intersections

    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.

    Food choice

    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...

    How`s your house pricing doing?..

    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...
