    What town?

    Goderich. At the moment, there are fewer houses for sale than ever, since November. Unfortunately, my wife's job starts March 1st, and that's also the day our current house closes.
    We went to a new listing yesterday that had 10 cats. It smelled so bad our real estate agent started gagging and almost threw up lol.

    Can't really move to a town nearby, since highway 8 and 21 are closed on a regular basis thanks to the lake effect snow. The OPP shuts it down all along the coast, sometimes for 3 or 4 days straight.

    I have no ideas on what to look out for when buying snow blowers

    I would think Snow blower > snow shovel... and ....Gas > electric LOL

    +1

    When maintained, Honda's will last forever. Our family still has a generator from the early 80s and 2 snow blowers from the 90s that start on the first pull every time.

    +1 on the Honda, I bought a HS622 with electric start in the fall of 2014 when we moved into our current house
    Pricey, but have had zero issues. This season was the first time I actually did any proper maintenance; spark plug and carb was still super clean, nothing in the fuel sediment cup and the oil was clean to. Plus I run Shell 91 with no ethanol great for when VTEC kicks in yo haha

    Pics (before/after)?
    Roughly how much did it cost to get fixed?

    I have lots of cracks in foundation as well in the basement. Hoping they are just at the surface. I've marked some of them to see if they get any bigger. I hope the foundation isn't shifting or anything.
    Probably look into getting it inspected for peace of mind soon.

    sadly wasnt much to show before and after ( didnt take any pics either). he removed all the blue outside foam and then drilled out the crack filled it. then put on the tar and repalced the foam. i was there for bits of it but i watched him do the last one which is why i wanted him to do this one as well.

    it cost $500.00 + HST, i had one person quoted me over $2,000 for the first crack made it sound all fancy said he needed a backhoe i told the other guy who came highly recommended. and i would use him again if i needed to and would advise anyone else if they needed to to use him

    How long did it take? The materials cost on what he did probably was under $20 (I assume some hydraulic cement and paint on sealant which he would buy in bulk)...so unless he was there for 5+ hours that sounds absurd.

    No, you can't use hydraulic cement. Won't actually seal anything. He drilled the holes, the other injected them with epoxy. The epoxy may have cost about 50 bucks or more for the kit. Once the kit is mixed, any leftover has to be thrown out.

    $500 sounds steep, but it probably comes with some sort of warranty as well.

    30 year warranty and if it were to ever leak inside he will come fix that for free. i dont know if either of you have ever had a leak repaired. but 500 was about average and on the low. most other quotes were over $1000. even my dad whos been in the same house for over 35 years had 3 cracks done. on average when he did them 20 years ago or so then it was 3-500 so for 500 now was a good deal. and it was 1 guy who came must be 50 something, and a dug it all out himself he was there i dunno a good 3-5 hours. i didnt time him but he was there a while.

    Pictures? How bad? Unless it's a LOT of fence, it's not worth claiming through your insurance(s).

    Yes, cost gets split for repairs too, go talk to the neighbour they're obligated to pay half on a mutually agreeable plan (ie you can't force them to pay for half of an exotic hardwood fence unless that's what the entire neighbourhood already has).

    I believe the cost you can require them to pay is basically half of a chainlink fence but most people are a bit more reasonable than that

    Tell your neighbour that you’re willing to pay half of the repairs and that you’ll get some quotes. Let me know if you need a contractor for the fence repair. Had the same issue last year with a neighbour.

    I've heard that rumor too about chainlink minimum...is that actually a written rule somewhere? I always thought it was whatever the neighbourhood standard was.

    Good question. If fences are established then perhaps it aligns to the "standard". I've only been in new builds for fences so a minimum standard seems like it would apply.

    Good point tho!

    I think it might vary across municipalities.
    in Brampton, the chain link fence stuff is in writing, there's a whole section on the suggested process to follow if neighbor does not want to pay for their share (for new fences)
    I think the standard applies for existing as well, but hoping your neighbor cares about his place as much as you do yours and it's a quick conversation and repair
