bumping this thread to say thanks to benyl and the others that recommended the all-fridge/all-freezer 30" units with the trim kits. That's what we've opted to do, hiding the freezer in our butler's...

That is true- but the penalty ends once the year rolls over and you can use those registed-but-unused RRSP contributions. So if you overcontribute by a huge amount early in the year, and catch it...

Bump. It's tax preparation season and after spending multiple hours slogging through this I'm ready to pay a pro. I have complications involving RSUs, employee stock options, cap gains etc that I...

you are not obligated to withdraw the funds, but there is a tax penalty you must pay (T1-OVP has the details)

Already thinking like a British Columbian. How can I profit off of my Albertan neighbours. Whether it's pipelines or campsites. Nice.

I went for a property insurance product through AMA and I think i paid $180 for the year, but my trailer's probably only worth $12-14k. Just another data point.

Wild to see these new highs. 2018 flashbacks. Still happy having sold my $apha and $weed at the peak in oct 2018 but feeling some FOMO

Your shit is haunted- time to move. But yes as has been said, you should look into the inducer motor. As your video title suggests it's likely some kind of weird resonance that is amplifying the...

Whenever my wife asks for a spit roast I just post on kijiji and always find lots of willing helpers.

Pex crimpers are not $600. Maybe $80. If your plumber doesn’t own tooling for pex you should really question your life choices.

Well fuck this is what I get for talking trash97309


Edit: before anyone asks yes that’s an old Classico jar. They make great glasses.

I chuckled

Head on that pour is suspiciously absent. Could this be an overly transparent attempt to save face from yesterday's debacle??? :rofl:

Definitely stout weather though; so respect for that.

what materials are those? Genuinely curious.

Spray foaming just rim joists is an interesting compromise- rim joist is just about impossible to effectively seal with vapour barrier and is (IMO) the source from where most basement (and heck even...

Points already made on low voltage wiring, gas lines and spray foam are all legit.


Consider whether you want any additional hose bibs or exterior electrical outlets. Now is the time.

$100 a damper. They're controlled in the exact same way that your cheap humidifer works. 24ac relay, normally-open or normally-closed. I need to install one for my fresh air intake so that it doesnt...

sick.

I converted my humidifier control from the furnace-company installed humidistat that was just slapped onto a return duct, to instead have the nest control it, and I must say I think it's been very...

Worth noting that in the kitchen layout I've seen from benyl the 60" of fridge/freezer are mostly "out of sight" given your large butler's kitchen behind the main elevation with range&cabinetry. I...

got a pic? or an elevation/rendering? Curious what that would look like.

Performance. We're cool dropping three to five times what is "average" on a range / cooktop&wall-ovens, and I can easily see how my money benefits the functionality of the product (to a point- the...

Been looking into appliances. Fuck spending 15+k on an integrated fridge. I don’t care how nice they look. Not worth.

What I like about this idea is if it breaks, or we find it's not useful, at least it's just a fairly standard-sized countertop hole that you could substitute a garburetor button or soap dispenser or...

What exactly is a "these"? How much maintenance does it need? We need details man!

This mirrors the feedback Tik-Tok gave in my other thread too. Interesting. I value my backyard space and it's a limited commodity so I think I'm pushing the wife as far as I can at 24' deep. Maybe...

Thanks so much to all who chimed in with experiences and thoughtful input on my garage heating thread. Much appreciated!

I'm thinking through garage sizing at the moment and I know that the...

I had no luck with Hobo or Young farts when I was on the exact same mission. You know who had the absolute best price for the kit that has all three shelves for my dometic? Canadream. They sell...

My builder just recommended we look at bertazzoni appliances. IDK seems like the Alfa Romeo of home appliances.

Yeah I grok the physics and understand glycol's purpose in lowering the freezing point. I meant- if you're just doing hydronic in a conditioned space (i.e. basement or attached garage) glycol feels...

If all your loops are to conditioned spaces, why even run glycol at all?

The more I think about this, the more a unit heater (i.e. NG forced air) seems to make the most sense. Best bang for the...

Like the title says; if you were starting from scratch, which approach would you take, and why?

One of the best things we did in this kitchen was put a 3” jog in the wall where the regular fridge rolls in. Gives you a “counter depth” fridge appearance without having to buy a lame and shallow...

I'm definitely thinking of a cooktop with a griddle on the new build. Wife sent me a fisher & paykel one like...

I had to re-up my supply as I just replaced with my last on-hand filter. Bought https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01M1BQ1PG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

There's a plenty strong market for used hard-fold tonneaus. They sell quick usually. I'd advise trying to buy one used as you could likely re-sell for most of what you pay for it.

Having done the...

Sick. Best of luck!

Having walked through the build 89coupe is talking about- I can say it was a beautiful spec, head and shoulders above a lot of the trash that builders are trying to schlepp at that pricepoint. I...

genius move. Wish I could have convinced my better half ahead of us embarking on an inner city build. Saving 8hr round trip to/fro the lake cabin sounds amazing.

edit: serious question (also...

Have you met Jordan's builder? Sean @ http://www.integerhomes.com/? If you are shopping for a cost+ builder you should meet him for coffee. I was very impressed. Super transparent, very practical guy.
