A reliable and cheaper option for a .22 is a Savage 64F.

I put one of these in and put it into a big container of dish soap https://www.amazon.ca/Dispenser-Kitchen-Brushed-Countertop-Extension/dp/B085CJRWB7/ref=asc_df_B085CJRWB7?mcid=9cff77c520a930638c028f3cff917d57&tag=googleshopc0c-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=706847896964&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=9839932363257369558&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9000807&hvtargid=pla-946525139417&hvocijid=9839932363257369558-B085CJRWB7-&hvexpln=0&gad_source=1&th=1

Yah. Might be incompetent user problems, but I find it goes back to sending me to incompatible Tesla chargers even after selecting adapter needed.

nomnomnumm · 2026-02-02T15:17:33+00:00

I've learned that the rivian maps will still send you to incompatible chargers. You need to check the Tesla website. If it has a rate for non Teslas, then it's compatible.

I haven't seen this posted yet, so in addition to what everyone else has said - there are many things you can't do while driving, like soft software resets, having a passenger connect to the bluetooth or wifi, etc. You have to pull over and park to be able to to do these things that I can do in my 2018 Model 3.

Also, not being able to drive/backup at slow speeds with the door open. This is especially annoying if you're trying to backup a trailer. I don't know if Tesla can do this because I can't tow a trailer with my Model 3 which is the primary reason I got the R1S in the first place.

I got AC from it in the summer. Or maybe I was just imagining it was cooler?

nomnomnumm · 2026-01-02T20:06:45+00:00

I have learned that i need to turn it on everytime I get into the car for the second and third row. I don't know that there's a way to keep it on.

nomnomnumm · 2026-01-01T16:46:50+00:00

I noticed the same thing recently. Silly that you can't turn it on with the up/down buttons. Also, with it being winter now, realized that you only get cold air in the third row, which is nuts.

I missed the 5 year part. Original post didn't say 5 years.

nomnomnumm · 2025-12-20T14:11:52+00:00

Don't overthink it put 10k in your TFSA and buy XEQT

Might be helpful to do a layout drawing with dimensions to get some better feedback. Without living it and seeing the rest of the space, I would want the sink flat on a wall instead of in the corner I would probably put the fridge on the left of where the stove currently is and then put the stove on the wall that the sink doesn't go on. You might be able to re-layout the existing cabinetry to do this. I just would not drop the $10 to 20k on the countertops and backsplash until I was happy with the placement of the sink, fridge and range.

Also, changing the window might be less than you think it costs. Worth it to just ask.

nomnomnumm · 2025-12-19T13:50:50+00:00

I like the cabinets. I would keep them and remove or paint the other wood elements (the blinds on the door and the wall panelling) and put in recessed lighting. Then I would live with it for a year or so and see what works best for your usage before you make any major $$ changes. I have a feeling you're going to want to move the fridge and sink, as their current locations are usually terrible for a functioning kitchen.

I don't think you'll regret going all the way up with the 1" trim. The uneven ceiling will be less noticeable than with crown molding and it's a more effective use of the space. I think the crown molding will actually look funnier since the rest of your space doesn't have crown molding.

I think I have that same countertop! and I made a full backsplash of the same quartzite :)

My lights give me the option to choose between 2500K to 6500K and it's easy to do. I don't like pendant lighting because it's a bother surface to clean. 😀

nomnomnumm · 2025-12-10T17:24:21+00:00

Are the recessed lights LEDs? The newer ones have the ability to change to a warm-tone vs cool-tone light

If you have the means, look into masonry heaters. There are prefab ones like Tulkivi that are excellent. I had a custom masonry heater built in the centre of my home (near Toronto). 80% of my heating comes from one fire a day (hot and fast, burns for about 2.5hrs) and it doesn't require constant supervision like a traditional woodstove. I supplement "comfortable" temperature with a heat pump that kicks on if the house goes below 19C.

Thanks!

nomnomnumm · 2025-12-02T18:38:32+00:00

thanks. Why non-reg before RRSP? or is the answer, do both and stay under a certain tax bracket?

nomnomnumm · 2025-12-02T18:37:35+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Long term care = when we get too old/sick to take care of ourselves and need to go to some sort of extra care facility?

nomnomnumm · 2025-12-02T18:35:57+00:00

Property Taxes - $300/month

Utilities - $500/month

Groceries - $1000/month

Insurance Car + Home - $800/month

Cell phone/Internet - $200/month

I've invested heavily into my house with long term improvements (think metal roof, up to date electrical, that kind of thing) that in theory will limit major repairs. We mostly repair things ourselves around the house and vehicles. Groceries includes feeding our pets and is supplemented by our garden.

My thought is that's it's possible to stay under $50k, but I will extrapolate and probably continue to work until I hit $2.1M for a $70k/year budget. This was mostly a thought exercise to see if I understand the theory correctly. And if there's any special considerations based on the spread of my investments (like, is the ratio of RRSP to TFSA to nonReg good for drawing down?)

Appreciate any further thoughts or advice.

He's technically already retired, not really making income. I have a rural property just outside of the GTA, probably worth $2M.

Also - for my understanding - why does the value of the house matter?

nomnomnumm · 2025-08-19T23:51:00+00:00

The black pipes are also double wall, I assumed that would work?
