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.

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...

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.

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.

Is it my imagination or are bike prices going down early this season… https://www.facebook.com/share/18f74s2qvt/

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

I've seen price range from $40-60/linear foot.

RIP. So young.

That's a good idea for sure. One option is just to cut it down to 2x4 or 2x6 planks that can be used for whatever isn't structural. Real pain in the *** to move it onto a table saw to start....but could be an option instead of straight burning it.

So….multistrada or hyperstrada? For a short, cheap, Polak with questionable DIY skills. Asking for a friend…

That’s about what I got quoted by Ken also. Multistrade was approx $1500 when I spoke with him.

Beautiful bike but the maintenance on these scare the living hell out of me.
