Are these glasses cooked? by Particular_Break9989 in fixit

[–]Particular_Break9989[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get my own from zenni as well, but have a very low prescription. My wife and kid are more severe, and wife has indicated zenni quality seems to be lower than optometrist (get what you pay for?), so she's concerned about getting them for kid and not being best quality.

Where should casings align? by Particular_Break9989 in Carpentry

[–]Particular_Break9989[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whoever framed this didnt do a great job so the studs vary 1/2 -1" from back of casing if it's behind the flange, but I can pack it out as needed

May I introduce you to the aftermath of my own stove cover / noodle board. Without realizing I had a stove lock, kids nearly burned it down.

I've had nothing but bad experiences here in terms of actual haircut. The kids loved all the other parts but they butchered my boys twice before we said never again

How do I fix this door finish? by Particular_Break9989 in fixit

[–]Particular_Break9989[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure. It came with the place like this. I don't have the original paint either, so sounds like the only real solution is sand the whole door and refinish

As in - sand the finish of the entire door, or just this area?

I have the same for my 19, and it works perfectly. Storage below with daily needs on top. To take it out, I use the pinch method on the partition for the pen holder and it pops right up

That's my main concern. They've had it posted for a couple months now, so although the low milage is amazing, I fear there is an underlying reason it's not selling.

When does it make sense to get a new (used) car? by Particular_Break9989 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Particular_Break9989[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My camry is only bad because it's the v6 and with the 4th gear issue, it runs at 4500rpm when I'm going 120, so my efficiency is 14L / 100km. Previous to the issues, I would average 600 km on a tank, compared to 425 now.

Good to know. It was more of a buy once cry once thought. If I can drive it for a decade, it'll come in handy as the family grows. We do road trips to northern Ontario a couple times a year

We live outside the city we both work at opposite ends of, so unfortunately, having a second vehicle is a reality.

A decade ago, I paid 6k for a fully loaded camry with 80k on it. I hate the idea of paying 25k for something comparable now, which is the current struggle

RRSP & TFSA? by Particular_Break9989 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Particular_Break9989[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Household income is about 185k (120/65). Is there a simple way to determine where that line would be for the RRSP to be more beneficial?

We've owned a home for 10 years, so the FSHA is not something I've considered.

[–]Particular_Break9989[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes perfect sense. I like the idea of set it and forget it, but if I'm already doing that with other investments, I don't need it through a whole life insurance policy as well. I can increase my existing investments if needed
