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.

Good to know there's DIY options. I thought they needed an HVAC tech 100% for any charging of the system. Will look into it. The cottage does have ducting, but no AC. We had one in the basement for many years but ended up throwing it out as it was for the old freon (R134?) that is no longer...

Question for the brain trust. Cottage is approx 700sqft +/- with gas furnace and is year round. Looking to get air conditioning into it as some weekends it's unbearably hot in there. Mini-split or traditional air conditioner? Currently have a 10,000BTU window AC that I'll be installing, but...

It’s minor so it’s not too bad. But needs to be done.

Anyone have a reference for a waterproofing company? Dad found water spots on the wall today and water pooling underneath.

Thanks! Sadly my Surface Pro 3 isn't able to run Blender due to graphics card issues. I've got SketchUp here on the laptop so will try that or other options.

Any recommendations on free software for home layouts? Mapped out full cottage on paper but would like to transfer it to a 3D layout.

Why are they not allowed?

Oh man that's tempting...
