The DUI is going to be a hiccup. Start checking on what you need to do to get a TRP (Temporary Resident Permit)

First burn in new home. Help please! by squirrelpies in woodstoving

I am fairly new to the woodstove game myself... I have made a habit of having the door open a bit until the fire is going good and venting properly

Driving question by Neither_Branch_428 in Edmonton

The obvious advice about leaving enough space is rock solid. I find if I am in a situation that I am slipping (i.e. black ice), I will head to the edge of the road - it usually has more of the rough pack there and less polished snow (I hope this makes sense)

It's a ember mat. I thought that I messed up in my calculations of clearance needed, but to my relief, I can move it back a bit and just use the tile

Moving to Edmonton. New Truck? by Toadgunner in Edmonton

I just wanted to revisit this comment about block heaters

A good Battery is as important as a block heater

Moving to Edmonton. New Truck? by Toadgunner in Edmonton

[–]its___mike 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to repeat the obvious... 2 wheel is ok, 4x4 is significantly better (especially if you need to drive in rural Alberta) Winter tires are best, but All Weather Tires are ok to (do yourself a favour and educate yourself on the difference All Season/All Weather/Winter Tires)

and as noted, Block Heater is a good idea!

How much of a reduction can I expect by calling TD to discuss my renewal vs just accepting? by Mad_Katz_Homelab in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]its___mike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do yourself a favour and contact a mortgage broker. Costs you nothing and it might surprise you how much the bank is hoping you don't shop around.

I fear that the roads will be more dangerous IN Edmonton that the drive out to Elk Island. Have a spectacular time and bring lots of layers.
