    Default TM3 Home Owners Association

    In Aurora/Newmarket/Bradford there is no hard rule whatsoever.

    If your neighbor doesn’t want to pay they won’t.

    If they refuse you can build it inside your property (6 inch’s from property line) and paint it like green on your side if you like.



    I just replaced a 20yr falling down fence and our neighbors were being dicks about it.

    You can see that I only replaced what was important to me seeing as how they didn’t want to contribute. I replaced what was on my side of my hedge. cheap neighbors.

    Ha. Insurance was up front about 15% hike. Got mine fixed for $424/2. So it cost me $212 taxes, parts, labour included for my half. Shop it around first and ask for a free quote unless you’re really into DIY.

    Plus an increase in your deductible on top of the premium hike is possible too.
    Good luck with your fence repair project.

    My dad said that if you agree with your neighbour to fix the fence together, don't pay for it and get paid back by the neighbour. Just get it in writing and pay your half to the company. That way the company will chase the neighbour down for the other payment.

    Something like this happened to some neighbours down the street. smh, can't trust people these days.

    If I am putting a fence in because I want one, why would my neighbor have to pay, if someone told me to pay for something I didn't ask for , I tell them to go pound some salt, half the issue in today's world is people expect everyone to pony up for others.

    We are putting a 100' wooden fence up this year on one side, I'm not asking my neighbor for anything, because surprise, I'm the one that wants the fence. last year our neighbor took down part of a wooden fence, pretty much told us if we wanted to replace it , they would help putting it in, and we pay for it. We have dogs, they do not..so we paid, and they helped..Had we have no dogs, probably wouldn't have worried about the fence.

    If you resod your lawn, do you ask your neighbor to pay for half the grass that is touching their property line?

    Houses is our area are going up like crazy in price again (Brantford - also the #1 city to buy in right now apparently)

    That's just not how it works though...you could tell them to pound salt all you want but you're still legally obligated to pay half the cost to some standard of fencing and they could take you to small claims over it (and they'd win).

    It's no different than how you have to shovel the sidewalk in some cities and if you don't the city will charge you to have someone do it for you. It's part of living in a community with other people that share the responsibility of maintaining the neighborhood.

    That's not true in kitchener, at least.

    You have no legal obligation to pay for any fencing at all.

    Hey everyone... so our washer broke and we decided to buy a new washer/dryer combo. Does anyone have recommendations for brands and whether we should go top load/front load? We need it ASAP and we’re getting overwhelmed with the amount of bad experiences posted online about all brands... looking for something that’s good quality and reliable. Any help is appreciated!

    Oh and I believe @SomeGuy is right. You are legally obligated to pay for half of a chain link fence. Read on another forum that homeowners were required to do so and I think it’s because the courts determined that you benefit from the fence going up so a chain link fence is the minimum you’re responsible for.

    I used to have a subscription to consumer reports. Basically, stay away from anything and everything Samsung. Also, stay away from high-efficiency top load washers. They don't use enough water and you may have a hard time with larger loads of laundry.

    So, front load, not Samsung.... And basically dryers are all going to use lots of energy, so focus more on finding your dream washer and get whatever dryer you want. Just make sure your dryer capacity is 2 cubic feet bigger than whatever washer you get. Or just buy a matching pair.

    Also, after having a steam washer and steam dryer, the steam dryers are fairly useless. I wouldn't pay extra for it again. The steam washer, however, is quite nice since we have a few pets. The steam will kill a lot of tiny creepy crawlies, allergens, etc.

    Specifically, we have the LG 3770 washer and matching dryer. 4 years and zero issues.

    Thank you!

    I’ve been hearing that front load washers require more maintenance and have issues with mold, is it true at all?

    We also realized that there isn’t enough space between the furnace and wall to fit a washer or dryer through. The previous owners built the wall after getting the appliances in and didn’t account for space, and it didn’t occur to us to measure the space before we bought. Sigh. Is our only option to knock down the wall?

    We have new LG front load machines, mid-high end versions...2 and a half years so far with zero maintenance or issues. Just leave the door open on the washer to keep it from getting moldy.

    Thanks, good to know.

    Currently eyeing the LG WM3770HVA & DLEX3570V. @m_bisson, is this the washer you have?

    Yep, those are the ones.

    Also, buy the Affresh tablets and use them for the "clean" cycle once every 2-3 months. It'll get rid of any mould and soap buildup.

    Thanks! Ordered this set today and will get it next week. Luckily Home Depot price matched, took $1000 off their retail price so we got a decent deal.

    Anyone deal with weeds/grass/other vegetation growing through interlock?
    I spent hours last year scraping out vegetation and then refilling the interlock. Damn plants showed up already, so quickly.

    any tips on how to deal with them? Ideally would like a long-term solution where vegetation can't grow back anymore.

    thx in advance

    so we had the garage floor done. they used the diamond grinder on the floor and sides. then sealed all the cracks and painted. chipped. clear and used silica quartz traction for grip.







    i think over the summer im just going to put square baseboard in finish it up a bit and next year when we get a new entry door and garage door ill trim the door in. but very happy with the final product. no way anyone will fall in there there is so much grip
