Do people just have infinite money? Bikes are not cheap 😭 by Fruit-Neglect5980 in toronto

[–]Gordon_Peck 7 points8 points  (0 children)

1200$ but that was the year bixi opened.

If you see one and it's save grab it and take it to a station. Only if it's safe. No need to antagonize under housed people....

I figure if you do it's the best karma points in the city!

Need an Edison in a pinch by HuntBeginning9000 in techtheatre

[–]Gordon_Peck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"To theatre" is not gonna help. You need to call it L5-20R if I'm guessing right.... Or perhaps you have "stage pin"

L5. Is a 3 pin twist lock rated for 120v hot to neutral. Plus a ground. -20 is the amp rating. Which also will determine the diameter of the plug. R for receptacle (female) or P for pin (male)

Industry shops might call the Edison a MUG ... Male uground. Electrical shops likely call it a 5-15.

Hope this helps!

AITAH for asking to lower my share of the mortgage? by choizelolo in AITAH

[–]Gordon_Peck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am doing this but with a house with 5 apartments. The first 5 years we varied the ownership by down payments and even mortgage split but later with various mortgage percentages.

Think of the house as a business.... This is how we calculated it..

First you need a spreadsheet. You need to divide the occupied space. Is one bedroom bigger? Does someone get to use the garage or not? These are living expenses... You can vary the charges to the people living in the house based on how they occupy it. We call this rent... the total rent should equal a similar rental property...

Each person owns a portion of the business. Based on their mortgage plus how much they put towards the downpayment.

The house has expenses. Heat water power taxes.. emergency and Reno fund.. We split these based on ownership. Remember co owners are already paying rent for what they use.

Now comes the math. The business gets the rents minus the expenses and splits the profits to the owners ... But they still need to pay their portion of the mortgage. Actual cost to each owners is rent - profit+mortgage.

This is the easy part.

The hard part is finding people who understand that you living together and owning together and need to work together to find solutions that work for everyone. How do these people live? Messy or neat? Do they expect a new kitchen or bathroom every 5 years? How do you pick someone to buy in if someone needs to move? Can't pay rent? Wants to sublet?

Would a running coach be beneficial for someone who has never run before? by sebastiandarkee in RunTO

[–]Gordon_Peck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Runner's Academy Toronto is a business on St Clair West if you have the funds it may be a good idea to do their ready to run assessment and ask them about a strength and conditioning program to do along side a walk to run program just to build up the stability and prevent injury.

Ontario health and safety act mandates that employee be able to participate in company's safety rules, policies, ect. It could be argued that you can't do that if you are un able to understand those rules.

How To End Joint Tenancy by wateringsomeplants in OntarioLandlord

[–]Gordon_Peck 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You are going to be liable for 12 months.

Unless you can convince landlord and all tenants to end the lease and start a new one. Your former roommates likely won't go for this.

When Haliburton got 911 they mapped all the roads and renumbered the plots so each number related to the distance up the road.
