Maybe you should find out what a hard wood is!!!

Oh my....how can you be so wrong? There are a LOT of soft deciduous trees....like soft maple and poplar

I switched to CFL's 10 years ago and since last year I have been switching to LED's. I bought about a dozen large LED's for the kitchen and front garage and my computer room reading light. They put out a large amount of light. I am using candleabra LED's for the dining room and front hall. All...

For heavens sakes...the OP wants to build a garage not a house. This is not rocket science. This level of customer service abounds everywhere and not just in the building trades although it does seem to be much worse.

I would keep away from any plumbers that blame potential customers for a problem. Seems defensive to me.

Trim gets nailed with my air gun but everything else is screwed.

The bureaucracy has gone mad!!!! 10 years ago I created my own drawings for my 2 storey garagemahal. My brother-in-law contractor used engineered trusses for the floor and 2x8's for the roof and all was good.

Our mortgages hover around 2.80% In Ontario if a tenant is delinquent I can provide them with an N4 "Notice to End a Tenancy Early for Non-payment of Rent". They have 2 weeks to pay or I can apply to have them evicted. The tribunal takes the position the tenant has to pay their rent. The...

Japanese bikes or Harleys? Please do not make statements in a way that implies something totally different than the facts. Sales taxes are payable in every civilized country that I am aware of. Duty and sales tax are totally different animals.

That is so sad and so down right wrong in so many ways. The reality in Canada has always been that you have to justify to the hilt in order to get a loan for rental property. They also are quite sensitive to fraud. properties need an appraisal. Fraud can still happen but not like the previous...

I don't think you know what you are talking about. Products made in the US enter Canada duty free. Guaranteed.

I said "duties" which are tariff's :)

It always goes back to being able to rent to only good people. We had to get rid of a crack ***** who knew the rules. We inherited her. We evicted her on the grounds my son needed the place. That was the only legal way we could get rid of her. Had to gut the place after she moved out. That was...

I don't know how you could come to that conclusion. I know some do but many have multi-family properties. We have 1 duplex, 2 tri-plexes and one four-plex. We want to keep buying more. Only if the price is right. Only if the location is right. Only if we can make money. It is not gift money to...

Raising duties is a terrible idea. It always back fires. It causes relocation of industries that cannot compete back to the domestic market. This means higher prices. This means higher input prices for other industries that cause them to be less competitive and also higher cost of living. It...

Agreed value with any insurer is better that stated value hands down. Stated value is for newer cars that are daily driven and suffer depreciation. Agreed value is for occassional use vehicles that do not depreciate, like our classic cars. I have a 1965 Mustang 2+2 and I am a vehicle...

My sons and I own 4 rental properties. We have been either lucky or skilled in interviewing good tenants. The bad tenants have always been ones we inherit after purchasing a property. Rental is not a way to get rich quickly. It is commonly understood it takes about 5 years of owning a property...

Roxul is a Canadian company. Their insulation is hands down the best bat insulation available. Foam is better but much higher priced. The stuff is dense (lower noise transmission), has ~10% higher R value per inch and is mold and moisture resistant. I will only use Roxul. I have no...
