Thanks. We’re not selling. Just taking it from parents as they don’t want it any longer.

This is what we're thinking. First appraiser was a ridiculously demanding person: - I don't do this, that or the other - must be b/w xam -> ypm only and nothing else matters Second one seems better so I'm thinking of going with them. Both came in at $550+HST which was half of what I was...

Stomach can’t handle tacos after gallbladder removed…

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.

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?

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...
