When I built my shop 2 years ago, it was half the price to get blown in, including labour to do it as opposed to me installing fibreglass batts myself. 12" The blown in insullates better in my opinion. And, the price thay charge to blow it in isn't worth it to do it yourself.

Its north of 7...anything goes

Thats just it, there are NO facts available. Remember the story on my hunt camp? The guy reported that there were 4 bedrooms. He was in the camp for a tour and in fact saw 8 bedrooms. All he would have to do is think for half a second even if his notes were wrong. How can we believe anything reported nowadays. As far as it making hunters look bad, of course it does...not to hunters, but to non hunters. Reporters should be taken to task for some of the crap they write.

Sure the poacher was illegal. Put him in jail. But why do all the papers have to use it as a heart throb filler piece. How bout something about a waste of tax dollars rather than trying to make hunters look like wicked people. As said before, it wasn't a hunter, it was a poacher.

I gotta think back..its been a long time but I have been there a couple of times. I think lots of small eyes and you can do little hikes for specs. Its been a long time and I have been to so many of Airdales lakes that I get em mixed up. Fish it the same as you would any in this area

Pull it off, get a gasket kit, put the right jets in and go from there. You still have a couple weeks to wait for ice so get it right

I couldn't believe when I read that. Not even froze all the way across. Quite sad.

This story made our paper today...what a bunch of bull

They should be charged too. Endangering wildlife.

I think there should be a daily fee to have a hut on the ice. They could hire a bunch more CO's with the money

OK..when I get the mil, is it a secret, or would my wife know I had it?

They didn't cancel...they rescheduled till summer. Seems they didn't know it snows here in the winter when they set the schedule. I saw them a couple years ago at Vegas keewadin...that was enough.

My book says from the "travelled" portion of the road. If the road is paved, the shoulder isn't the travelled portion. The shoulder of a gravelled road isn't either. I don't understand why in southern Ontario you can't shoot from the same spot. As long as you are not shooting across or along, whats it matter if you cross the ditch and go 30 feet into the bush. Heck, half the stuff I shoot, if I did that I would be shooting back towards the road.

They burried the deer? Doesn't the MNR usually donate to the soup kitchen or something?..Seems a waste to me. I was wonderin about where it was. Its legal to shoot from the road up here...I guess not there, and the guy shouldn't have left it behind. I don't agree with domesticating a wild animal though...gotta be a law against that.

hey..its a fine rate of pay...remember, its our tax dollars at work...don't offer more if you don't have to

I would be decking out the boat with a couple of bikinis errr, Biminis..yeah,,thats what I meant...need to keep the sun off

ask the union about that...maybe see if your union wants to do that with apprentices...first year free, because, hey not having to get out of bed for less than 65k a year is also a dream job for some people Its a pretty good rate for a CO, but it does take a few years experience to qualify too. Its not a straight out of high school job.

That was the year I looked at the lawn and thought it needed cutting but said, no way am I cutting the lawn on Christmas eve

I know I bought my Sylvan this spring for the storage that was in it. i sure wouldn't want them to come to me half way through the year and say, we are taking your storage or your boat will sink if it fills with water. This after having taken a couple serious waves over the bow trolling in rough water. I need one of them skirts

interesting read, considering how excessively regulated most things are

Voting for the lesser of evils is still voting for evil

I am for HST, but not at 13%...make it 9 or 10% and I'm happy

so thats it...wer'e done now?

Does anybody actually know how gasoline is going to be taxed? There is already a provincial tax on gas in Ontario. 14.7 cents or something. Does this include PST at 8% or is it just a gas tax and there is no pST on gas now. I can't see there being no PST on gas right now. Them crooks would never let that go. I don't get a natural gas bill so I can't look at that for PST. Does anybodies natural gas bill have PST shown as a charge now? edit...looking at petrocanadas chart, quebec has a seperate PST indicated where ontario doesn't...guess we are being screwed for a NEW tax on gas

Its ok...I'm with you now. I didn't know about the 6% rebate. I am a construction estimator for structural steel and right now I add 8% PST on material and shop labour costs. That is included in my price to supply and install with GST being extra on the whole amount. When this starts I will delete the 8% factor and it will be 13% at the end. The housing guys will do the same because they have to compete and if the 8% doesn't exist anymore, they won't put it in. I was hoping that the under 400 figure would be without the 13% and we would actually be saving 8. I shoulda known better. 6% sounds ok because I figure construction costs will go up bu about 3 or 4 % because field labour is about 1/3 of the cost..a bit more for housing I think. I plan on building in the spring and was wondering if i should wait to save money but it looks like not. And I gotta sell early to save the extra 8 on realtor commish
