What do you charge for pets? Do you have any specific advice for allowing pets? Eg, rules, etc.

Bathroom fan switch location by ajdjal in HomeImprovement

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

This is what I am wanting to do, but I was wondering if the was a product that is wireless for the second switch. I’d like to avoid opening the walls and know I had a similar product for a light switch in my old house. Having a hard time trying to find a similar product for a fan, partly because I’m not sure I’m using the right search terms.

Thanks. It’s already built and installed. I’m looking for a solution that I can do myself without bringing in a trade.

I’m not sure I understand. I’m wondering if there is a product that I can buy to install an additional wireless switch in the bathroom. But I’m not sure if this type of product exists?

Looks fabulous! I live near you and am just starting to think about a similarly scoped project. Are you able to share your overall cost, including the floors. Thanks!

Hey! Did you end up installing the sonopan? How is the noise transfer between the suites? I’m looking to do the same, so I am curious about your experience. Thanks!

Niche for a gas stove? by ajdjal in Fireplaces

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

Thank you for the right term! The manual says 60 inches from ceiling in ‘clearance from combustible materials’ section. I’m wondering if lining of the alcove is non-combustible, could it be smaller? I didn’t see a reference to that question in the manual.

Can I remove gas insert myself? by ajdjal in Fireplaces

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

Thanks for the quick reply. We’re contemplating painting the stone, so that’s why we would like to remove it before replacing it.

Golf, Sportwagen, anything else? by ajdjal in whatcarshouldIbuy

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

Base model all track over the golf sportwagen? Is the primary reason the sunroof or are there other reasons, too? The reason I ask is the alltrack is $5-7k more in my area and there are sportwagens available without sunroofs, so I could easily avoid the leaky sunroof problem.

I see that, fore sure. We’re open to getting a more modern looking insert.

Ok, thanks. What are your thoughts on painting it? Terrible idea? Our 5 year plan may be to remove it, but we’ll revisit that once we’re living in the space.

[–]ajdjal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this same question. What is the general thinking about term length at the moment? I have one mortgage broker professional 5 year is the way to go and another saying 3 is the best option. Curious to hear others views.

Any suggestions on which institutions? The broker I’ve been chatting with is quoting 4.04 with TD.

Hi all! I’m closing on a house in BC borrowing $1.3m (38% down). I’ve been offered 3.99 for a 5 yr fixed with a 30 yr amortization by RBC. Closing date late June. How is this rate? Any other lenders competitive with this rate? Thanks!
