I agree with getting rid of tub. But we still have fairly young kids and a tub comes in handy. Mind you it’s not like the cottage is being used year round every weekend. @Mad Mike that’s a hell of a plan thank you. Never considered rotating the tub 90deg. That seems to really open up the space.

Here you go... Dimensions I haven't put into any software yet: Approx full size is 5.88ft x 5.18ft. The areas below could allow for some minor expansion as it's dead space in the rooms surrounding (2 small bedrooms):

It's not the 'ability' to XYZ. It's the 'willingness' to do so. Many new immigrants, regardless of where they're from, will just outright refuse to integrate and assimilate. Plenty of Polish, Italian, Portuguese, etc etc that have lived here for 20-30-40 years and still don't bother with...

I'm gonna need some GTAM brain trust soon for what to do with cottage bathroom....teeny weeny little bathroom. @GreyGhost was in the area and he's got some good suggestions that we went over with a beer (or 2) in hand.

Finished watching S5 of Clarksons Farm. Sad and unfortunate for him as it blows. Overall very good season besides the dead animals and cancer.

Cousins put granite slabs in their bathroom. Single piece per wall. Expensive as hell but gorgeous.

‘True Grit’ audiobook done. I ended up highly enjoying it. Thanks for the recommendation!

I’m used to it by now (40%) or so, and it’s bothering me less and less. I started watching the movie also and … meh. The latest version, not the original John Wayne version.

Yup you are correct. I can’t apply or even see all the enbridge grants until the owner signs the forms from what I saw. Appraisal came back…neither as high as I expected, nor as low as I would have liked.

Listening yo True Grit right now. Good story. Not sure how I feel about the narrator, but the story is good so far. 2hrs into a 6hr marathon so far.

Wow...up to $230 for the stock as of today. Wish I had gone in on that rocket.

Been learning lots about insulating the basement and finishing it off for allowing whole house to get warmer. This is gonna get expensive...

Ooof...one of the largest losses I've seen. 950k on a Brampton house... https://www.thestar.com/real-estate/bigger-homes-bigger-problems-behind-this-brampton-homes-1-million-loss/article_47890db9-1226-485c-98c5-4f68fa5aaf65.html

That's awesome thank you! First thing that will be installed at the cottage is a new 100A panel as the 60A isn't enough for the cottage as is. I have the panel, just need to find the time and talk to a good GTAMer here about installation and when it can be done (and for how much). I know...

Wow never even knew this existed….need to look further into this.
