I don't anymore unless required. Masking has been a way of life in Japan forever when someone is sick, so in a way it might be good if that trend stuck around here as well. If you are sick, don't...

I'm with Touchstone myself as well, and I don't really have any complaints myself, but I have been dealing with Mammoth Insurance for my course of construction insurance got my new house that...

I like to geek out on things I like. My utility room will be a work of art :) It's also my server room so I will be there often enough. With everything that's going in that room and way I will be...

Nah, I thought about it, wasn't really worth the extra $50 per breaker (about extra $2k) to go smart, plus the wifi controller for them. It's a neat idea... Maybe when I win the lotto I can swap them...

Bought 43 breakers for my 60 slot Leviton Load Center for the new house. They look so fancy

This is from remote meter to home. There is a separate 4/0 cable from pole transformer to the remote meter just a few meters away from the post.

Yah, I posted on an electrical forum and this size was the agreed upon at the end of the day. This size is also what my meter and my main electrical panel max out on, so it should be a direct fit...

I don't know the going rate for organs these days, but it was just under $5k for that.

The $20 is the minimum that rocky view charges, as per Rocky View County. I know the land was bought like 60 years ago and a few years back was sub-divided into 5 lots. The original owner of the land...

When I did my parents house after the hail storm, I picked up at Monarch (https://www.monarchcentres.com/). They along with RoofMart carry Royal siding, with many styles and types in stock. Call them...

Bought myself a little bit of wire (100M 300kcmil Armored Cable for new house)

Also bought 6x of these for my radiant floor heating that will be throughout the entire house:

Had a mail in rebate for a free pipe-cutter as well...

We have a winner!

Just spoke to them, yah, was designated as farmland, now residential vacant. Bummer. Oh well house building activity is about to start so not going to be vacant for too long!

The $20 was actually listed on the lawyer paperwork as unpaid taxes for 2021. I didn't notice it and assume it was paid. I few months after we bought land I got a notice saying that the taxes for the...

Thanks. The question was if this is normal. I didn't expect such a jump personally on empty land, $20 last year, $1700 this year. I will call the county and ask tomorrow. I suspect this is normal,...

Hi guys,

Quick question. Bought land last year in Rocky View County, still empty, but came to find out (my fault) that I didn't pay that taxes for the year as they must have come out right around...

Found this funny

This has got to be a joke right?



You missed out. I went to Russia twice in 2018, once for the world cup, and second time with my parents. The World Cup stuff was EPIC! Got to watch 3 games in...

This is cool. I might have to do something like this. For me, I really like the factory finish on things and hate the "dyi" look...what's the trick to making it look professional? Pocket-hole jig...

Wasn't my house, but parents called on Monday and told me their furnace is dead. Went over there and took a look and all signs pointed to the motherboard being fried. Ordered a new board for $150 and...

I have been following this for a while, and seems like just another fake. Few days gone by and no confirmation. This is the closest thing about this rumor being false that came out today:
...

So reached out to a bunch of companies today, and got some better news. Posting it here mainly for future reference for anyone who might be in the same boat.

So the insurance company that...

Maybe I misunderstood that initial question, as the follow up questions basically ask the same thing but with more emphasis on construction industry and experience in that. In my eyes I have over 20...

Thanks. The issue right now is not so much trying to save money, it's trying to actually get insurance in the first place. My broker went to multiple companies and non of them accepted, which lead me...

Hey thanks for much for for your response, very informative. Unfortunately I don't think the 5k insurance will hold up, or even the $9700 option, my gut feeling is they will be going to 15k or so if...

That is an option I could take, and will take worst case scenario, but would be nice to know that there is some protection in an event of an unforeseen event. General liability scares me more than...

I care. For the 50th time, I am not trying to scam anyone ffs. I was trying to understand how this may work given what my insurance company told me. General contractor subcontracts work, I wanted to...

I will if it gets to that point, was trying to gather some info before I call anyone to see if it's something that's possibly doable or not. Was hoping someone has some experience or ideas, or hell...

Well I got a quote for $9700 once for 16 months of coverage for $600,000. It covers the materials and basically the house while it's being built. I have also gotten a quote for nearly half that, but...

Okay, everyone seems to have a hard on for the fact that I am trying to fraud someone. The damn insurance company guy himself told me "you should get a general contractor, it will save you a ton on...

You are misunderstanding me. I am not trying to fraud anyone, it's just that insurance companies are very anal about issuing insurance if you are not a general contractor. A general contractor...

Hi all,

So as some of you may know, I am building my own house shortly and ran into a bit of an issue. I am having a hard time securing Course of Construction insurance because I don't have 2+...

Yah, I didn't see this either. All the virtue signaling from every country about "freedom of expression", "freedom of press", "racism", "democratic process", "election interference".....none of that...

Didn't realize every male under 65 in Ukraine was a highly trained elite soldier, and only the Russians were dying. Good to know.


The longer this drags on, the more dead people there will be...

Don't have to tell me that, but many people gobbled it up like candy and it was all over mainstream media. It's amazing how much nonsense the media spews and others repeat.
