We’re hoping the old cottage (other thread) is down on pricing horribly. Just deciding between appraisers and hoping the market is really bad in the Wasaga region for capital gains reasons.

Since I'm an idiot I was cutting some bolts on a truck bed rack without protecting the rear windshield...guess how much fun it was when I noticed that melted metal hit the back window of my Maverick. Such an idiot...not looking forward to see how much that replacement will end up costing me.

Watching 'Generation V' S2 and enjoying it more than I expected to.

Very sorry to hear that. I complain about my Lucy...but I'll be damned if I'm not growing attached to her more and more each day.

Another example of our justice system at work... https://www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/article/man-awaiting-trial-in-fatal-brampton-crash-charged-again-with-stunt-driving-in-mississauga/

Ok so that’s 2 votes for insulating basement walls and floor. And leave the floor joists alone. Clear. Any opposing views?

Nice! My BT speaker from Costco just died after 5 years….should I bother trying to return it….

Alrighty then...learn something new every day! And here I was going to buy a ton of BATT and insulate b/w the basement -> main floor.

So you’re saying just the walls and floor? And keep the space in between floors without insulation?

Zang...not a fan of the styling, but zang... https://www.motor1.com/news/796895/ferrari-luce-specs-price-debut-details/

Was just looking at those boxes at PA in Scarborough...but they were $25 or more here. Good use case for them. May pick some up when they're on sale.

I think you're correct. The insulation is actually damn good within the cottage. Only issue is that the unfinished basement (with warm air going in) doesn't have insulation b/w the basement and the main floor...so the cold permeates into the living space and furnace needs to keep turning on...

Pretty sure it's just the framing and insulation...that's what my dad said anyway. I haven't opened it up.

We were at the cottage this weekend and haven't seen anything on Lucy yet...we'll keep checking as those bastards will be easier to see as they grow. Neighbours went to a provincial park near Peterborough recently for 2 days...40 ticks on their dog.

Wait a second…that may not be a bad idea. Tell me more!
