Very possible. Live by the sword... https://toronto.citynews.ca/2026/01/23/ryan-wedding-arrested-olympian-most-wanted/

Ours? yes...but it's only half a basement because of the side split layout as @GreyGhost (he's been to my place a few time to help me out) pointed out. I would love nothing more than have a full basement. The place we are considering has a FULL basement, with a living room, dining room...

Unfortunately the house we are VERY interested in is from friends...so low balling them just feels very very wrong. I spoke with my wife last night 'would you buy this house for 1.6 if it was from anyone else?' The answer was a resounding 'NO' It is expensive, and the MIL is around the...

Well this seems bad and short lived... https://insideevs.com/news/785214/2027-chevrolet-bolt-limited-run/

It’s is dirt cheap but I did the math and some research on some forums….that car would barely get me to work in the cold (52km) and wouldn’t charge back fast enough on L1 to actually get me home.

Volt would use the car battery and wall current I believe to preheat the car while plugged in. It would dip down from 100% and would recharge within a few min as it didn’t take a lot of juice.

There will be fresh bread in my immediate future…

Seems like a missed opportunity using the shovel when a snowblower was delivered….

Maybe I shouldn't be looking for a house at this point in time...

These are 100% tough choices, and we can def make the current house work. I'd rather build up, or sideways on my house but at 400-500k quotes we were getting I'm better off just buying a bigger house. Current house is about 1600sqft. Other house we're looking at is 2200-2500sqft with a full...

My friends also recommended Alliston for us as there's way more options up there compared to here... But while we love them, we hate going up there as it's 1-1.5hrs for a visit. Plus the fact I'm so close to my parents now (10km) I wouldn't want to be far away from them in their older years as...

This is the scary part about us looking for a newer place...besides the double mortgage, there's a considerable amount of work required. We're still on the fence, and absolutely love the house...but this place is missing maybe 1 bedroom (girls are sharing a room currently) and not sure it's...

Well if we move, and if we buy that house then I can hopefully use this exercise as a de-cluttering exercise. Unfortunately this move would also double our mortgage....so there's a few things to consider.

If we agree and they sell....then free storage and immediate move in.

Would be nice to park all of our junk in the 'new' house, with the only risk being if we don't sell...we have to move it all back lol.
