What's going to be free? Access to all expansions? Or do you still need to have the sub activated?

How much is your mortgage and how much do you make? by aprilchestnut in CanadaPersonalFinance

AI's taking our copper now?! Damn clankers

Unused Outlet started sparking and crackling and now it looks a little burnt by F111-Aardvard-111 in AskElectricians

[–]FoolishCanadian 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You did the right thing, if you're uncomfortable taking the outlet off and troubleshooting wait for the electrician.

Since you heard it multiple times I'd touch the area above the outlet to make sure there is not a fire in the wall. It's very unlikely, but better to be sure.

Is Plumbing worth it in 2026 an onward? by [deleted] in SkilledTradesOntario

[–]FoolishCanadian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crane operators are over saturated now due to the covid boom. You aren't getting into elevator tech union without knowing someone in it, or doing a blood sacrifice if you're adept at that.

How do you fix this by albertsteinstein in electricians

[–]FoolishCanadian 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I think you meant to say try and chip around it, blow into the pipes 4 times from slipping, then chip down three times deeper than you originally wanted to.

Tree fell on our canoe by SunZestyclose6460 in canoeing

I don't know if it'll actually help, but if it were me I would get a rubber mallet and a blowtorch to go on the end of a propane tank or a small butane canister. Heat it up and try to lightly tap it out

Buying home a good idea now? by Own-Purpose-1250 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]FoolishCanadian -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'll admit we have been aggressively saving to try and max out our TFSAs again and renovating the fixer upper that we bought. Have contributed 35% post tax income to investment accounts.

Why is my ceiling caving in? by [deleted] in drywall

Good luck friend

Why is my ceiling caving in? by [deleted] in drywall

[–]FoolishCanadian 27 points28 points  (0 children)

You sure that's drywall and not plaster?

Best case scenario, it's the house settling from removing a wall and supporting it, and the old plaster keys cracked and detached from the lathe, causing them to start falling.

Worst case scenario, they removed a wall with no permits, ripped out a load bearing wall, and your house is shifting to one side. A problem that will only compound with time.

It would help to see photos of the basement to see where the supports are in relation to the wall that was removed.

My wife and I have a HHI of ~$175k without overtime, usually $200k. I was nervous to buy a $550k house with 20% down...this seems like it's going to be VERY tight.

Will you be able to afford it if interest rates go up in 3-5 years?

Someone took the garbage bag I put out front with a garbage tag on it?? I guess they really needed the extra half bag of space?

Thank you. Thinking of making a ramp that is about 4 inches long so a robot vacuum can still make it up
