    RSP's & Wealth simple

    Transfer from Tangerine / previous employer was super simple. The account I've got 110k in is being a real pain to move the transfer. Need to update my forms as QT added a '12' to my account number and now that's causing major issues. Idiots. I'm transferring everything from locked accounts to...

    RSP's & Wealth simple

    Going through this now, and went through it before but to Questrade from previous employers. I've got 2/5 already transferred and the BIGGEST issue is the financial group currently holding your money as they may it stupidly annoying with all the paperwork (which I understand). You need to...

    Trailers

    Yup. I’ve also seen 2x2 and 2x4 lumber as the frame holding 1/2” plywood. Seems solid….but I worry about vibration rattling it apart. I’m tempted to sell mine and buy a covered trailer.

    Trailers

    Damn. That’ll be more solid than most store bought! Mine is the 4x8 folding trailer and it’s great for what it is. Just can’t figure a way to enclose it without it rattling apart over time.

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    Interesting. Since the time they bought it: New roof, siding, insulation, floor, windows and 10k or more to connect to the city water and sewers in the late 90s or early 00s. Obviously there aren’t any receipts considering the time frame.

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    1. No. Always as a cottage 2. No capital gain on house (bought in 1989 for 220k in Etobicoke) cottage was purchased for 75k back in 1995 / 6. I expect it to be worth 450-500k max (if that). It’s a 700sqft bungalow, old, all original interior with a teeny tiny bathroom and unfinished basement...

    Trailers

    That’s why I haven’t bought an enclosed yet. Rarely use the trailer as is, and even rarer need for enclosed. Wasaga has a 💩 collection schedule for yard waste so need to bring it here to the GTA for easier disposal. Or the dump near Wasaga.

    Trailers

    You looking for enclosed or open? I want an enclosed but can’t justify the price right now so I’m planning on just putting up 24-36” plywood walls on mine and be done with it. Same use case as you. Basically a runaround trailer.

    Not worth having a new thread…. Who will the CRA accept as validating FMV of a cottage? Real estate agent? Lawyer? Official appraiser?

    Either a sweet deal, or a horribly expensive money pit.

    401WB at Victoria Park

    Driving home saw what looked like an injured rider on the express shoulder. Laying down and screaming while paramedics attended to him. Blue / green bike was there upright on the stand and 2 cars beside the bike. GWS
