Just wanted to let others know the plastic tags for bread expiry was accidentally stuck to the bottom of the kettle. After turning on the stove, the small fire on the tags emitted a very toxic black suspension (weird tassle-like floating) over the stove. It was very irritating to the throat. They sh...

floor

We were looking at installing hardwood and came across the Lauzon ambiance collection which mentions a pure genius technology that purifies the air inside your house. It seems gimmicky, but apparently has been tested by independent labs. Does anyone have any experience with this flooring?

lock

Raccoons are getting into our Toronto garbage bins. Must be attracted to the baby diapers. Any recommended locking devices to prevent them from getting in?

A couple of years ago our neighbourhood was plagued by door to door salesmen selling furnace rental contracts. The pitch was that you would rent a furnace and the energy savings would pay for the monthly rental fee - over a 15 year period! Stories started appearing in the news about naive homeowners...

walmart

Walmart is ending price matching because no one is using it and it slows down the registers too much. Which are two mutually exclusive issues in my mind. This really sucks at a time of a downturn in the economy. https://www.ctvnews.ca/business/walmart ... -1.5111803

vertical

I live along the go-train line and I've been thinking if a vertical wind turbine would be worth setting up to catch the wind for some electricity. Do you think it's feasible?

vegetables

I have about two dozen containers of various sizes (mostly 7-10 gallon). Last year I pulled the tomato and pepper plants and put the soil in garbage bags and the plants, roots and green fruit into compost (and was gifted some wild-growing tomatoes from the composted fruit). I tried augmenting the ba...

Hi redflagers, In order to suppress weeds, I was planning to use small river stones instead of mulch in my front yard. I believe mulch is accounted soft landscaping. But is river stone accounted soft landscaping?

heating options

... cheaper and effective way to heat the place up. I don't think is effective to use the space heaters for long hours or turn the baseboard on for 10+ hours a day. Would it be a better option to use something like Radiator Space Heater, or those heater that looks like a little sun. https://www.amazon.ca/Pelonis-Programmable-Thermostat-Overheating-Functions/dp/B07XRP9M3F/ref=pd_sbs_201_6/141-8095876-4506938?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07XRP9M3F&pd_rd_r=ef13b5e1-a779-4e34-8070-7d9c6583f858&pd_rd_w=pLqad&pd_rd_wg=Q9tif&pf_rd_p=51202c9a-f9ab-4d97-ad76-aa53f0391454&pf_rd_r=G0WFQN0PT7GRWF59Y1CM&psc=1&refRID=G0WFQN0PT7GRWF59Y1CM

care

Hi we had our stamped concrete driveway done over summer time I'm looking at what options I have in regards for melting ice.... I hear NOT to use any type of salt even if it's Alaskin. The company I used said for 1 year not to use anything. Thoughts and advise?

Just wondering if anyone has found a good deal on these? I tend to go through them every 4 or 5 months, surprisingly enough, and my local retailer is insanely expensive.
