  1. You’re not old if you went to Al Flatery’s on Dufferin North of Rogers road.
  2. Going to use them to hold down the anchovies on the pizza?
  3. Thanks HH. I looked at a model that was steel insulated and back covered with a composite material rated at R9, I looked at another model, steel/insulation/steel; more clean looking and rated at R12 and much but better constructed. So I went for the latter for $80 more per door. Door frame is painted and asked about a cap and another 150 per door, no more maintenance there. $2180 complete with springs tracks and labour. And taxes. a company had quoted me close to double for the cheaper model I was looking at and no capping.! prices are all over the place.
  4. HH my wooden doors are cracking and starting to rot on the bottom panel Glueing foam in the back is not practical as there are hinges and bolts that stick out. The new doors have the insulation inside the doors panels, you don’t see it. Also the panels are tongue and grove for a more tight closure. If you have to replace them might as well do it right. I have a bedroom above the garage and this will help a lot. Mind you when I get in my car the temp is always around 3 or 5 on the coldest days, I want a a bit better.
  5. thank all for your input, much appreciated. I’ve had quotes up to $3,800 + tax. And anywhere in between for the similar door. R16 and not common colours really tally up the $s. I’m looking at a quote for steel insulated with ALL NEW hardware, installed. At just under $2,000. Taxes will see. After a face to face I’ll decide which direction I’ll go, but there seems to a lot of variance in prices, more profit, more overhead who knows. Some came back with just numbers, other forwarded the manufactures (garaga)quote and plugged in the dealer/installer name, others sent colour brochures with different models . . . With prices per model . . We’ll see how this transforms the doors I have now still close Well but being wood are going down fast. I learned a lot from doing my basement and shopping around can save a lot of money.
  6. I just got an email. From my councillor warning of people getting called from out local utility (Alectra) asking them to pay their bills NOW. They should hang these people. After this crap started out grocery store did not accept cash so I used my card on a Saturday and Monday I had three hits at $72 each. had to go to the bank and straighten it out and get a new card. Did get a refund a week later.
  7. Any members in the GTA have had this service done recently. I have two standard 8x7, currently wood. Would like to go with steel insulated. Any company reference and approximate cost would be appreciated. This is my first replacement so any information will be welcome. thanks.
  8. Agree with Lew. When our place shut down on April 22, ( had the same client since 1977) my thoughts were with the young ones just starting out and three who were single mothers I worked close with. Advertising has taken a hard hit and it may not come back anytime soon. A lot of Creative people worked from office to office on contract basis and the ad agencies that I know have all but eliminated this type of work. Going back to their office with an open concept sitting 3 feet from your coworker may be a way off. Years ago we had cubicles then someone said “open concept” is the way to go and they all jumped on it even eliminated the desk phone. They may have to come back. Hopefully this will end soon.
  9. glad you watched because I can’t. Seen some pictures in some newspaper reports, that was more than enough for me. Anyone south of Rome does not eat tripe, I’m south of Rome! I swear my brother is from the north! Eats it at weddings only, we have no clue how to cook or even buy it!
  10. It needs casters so you can wheel it around.
  11. Thanks B, I’ll venture out tomorrow or next week. I have nurseries close by too so I may hit them. I heard Home D was a zoo in Woody.
  12. If it gets cold put the tomatoes in the smoker! I’m looking for tomato plants and nothing around!!! Fig trees are doing well!
  13. Some goats OI! seriously is there a kid around that will do it for a few buck less than a contractor? If you have the mower and wacker you should only pay for his time.
  14. I’ve only bought it from Fortinos fresh NOT frozen. My dear mother never though them as family members only roasted relatives.
  15. We have the store bought ones Brian, only cooked one way, roasted in the oven with potatoes and carrots. Salt, pepper and fresh rosemary. We have wild ones in the yard and there they will stay.
  16. One thing I never mastered is any pasta with a white cream sauce. I do have friend named Alfredo. He doesn’t like it either.
  17. Just use the noodle pasta and mould it to a pie plate. So it has some eggs. Mrs must love having you around.
  18. No barter, this stuff is gold Cashmere down here right now $10 for 200g. I Did my rounds and not a flake today, get home wife got a message from our bakery we have been dealing with for 30 years to come in and get some. 18 km round trip but worth it. Essential commute for sure, bread just came out of the oven. taralli from last week.
  19. I have roasted peppers from 2018, tomato pure from 2019, supresata (Calabrian salami) from 2017. I found yeast BTW.
