You mean make the screens? There must be an online company where you just send measurements and they send you screens. Likely have a standard size anyhow. Pop in some clips and bobs your uncle.

It wasn't that expensive.
I think I paid $150 for 1 sliding patio door, and 3 windows but this was 3 years ago.

Interest rates have finally risen as of today, the real excitement is how many more times by year end. 
Anyone know how long before HELOCs also start to get bumped up? I guess it's the specific banks discretion when to do it

As long as my TFSA rate of return is higher than my variable mtg rate, I should be putting extra money into TFSA instead of paying down mtg right?
So say my avg RoR is 5%/yr, I shouldn't pay down mtg until my var rate goes up to 5%?? Does that math check out?

I always do both. Paying down my mortgage is guaranteed and gives me further equity in real estate. Also, just general piece of mind which can't always be calculated.
My wife and I put money in our TFSA's, RRSP, and pay the mortgage down. It doesn't have to be an either or.

Well your home equity will go up regardless of you making extra payments or not. It just depends on if you want to save on the interest. But high inflation is basically paying your interest for you right now. And all that equity is tied down in your mortgage (home value) that you have no access to unless you have a large heloc or sell.  let's see what Putin does but I don't see high inflation going away anytime soon

Despite that I'm pro-investment over pay down the mortgage but totally understand folks who like the peace of mind of paying down their mortgage - paying down was my approach up until a couple years ago when my financial stability got to the point where I felt I could take on more risk.

at today's rate, it doesn't really make sense to pay down principal unless you are doing the smith maneuver but I do know some people cant stomach the burden of debt.

The one in Bel Air just sold for 141 millions at auction setting a world record. Only 5 people bid on the house. The winners name will be released on the 8th.

Anyone have experience removing an owner from a joint ownership of a house? Need to remove my dad from our family house since he's no longer with us.
I'm reading this post here and it says we need a legal profession? I'm guessing we need to go to a real estate legal office? Any big fees? https://ltsa.ca/property-owners/make...-to-ownership/
Or can I just fill out this Fee Simple form? https://ltsa.ca/wp-content/uploads/2...Fee-Simple.pdf

Another type of shared ownership is tenants in common. To remove an owner from title upon death requires application to the court to have the will proved and appointment of an executor.
If you are unsure, do a title search to confirm what your tenancy is on title. The title may state one of three options: joint tenants, tenants in common or nothing which means tenants in common. If the title is held in trust or you have further questions, please seek legal advice.."
So you'll have to make sure it is a joint ownership as opposed to a tenants in common.

Looking at quotes to get a patio built in our backyard before summer, debating between going with pavers/retaining wall vs cedar plank. Any experience or preferences from this group?
Example of pavers: 
Cedar plank:

FYI. Check with your municipalities Zoning requirements. any patio/deck over 2 feet typically requires a Building Permit and may count towards the site's lot coverage.

I personally like the stone.
With the wood deck, you'll have to maintain it as the wood will absorb water and rot if you don't take care of it.

no experience b/c i'm not baller enough to do it, but i imagine cost would be my driving factor. pavers would have more staying power as wood will need more maintenance unless you use composite which has more staying power, but if there's going to be a big gap underneath you'll have to ensure critters don't go under there.
with a retaining wall, iirc anything over 3' (or maybe 4') will require engineering sign off. maybe a civil guy on here can confirm that. i think rail requirements start with a 4' drop.
@bcedhk i believe you're right about over 2' requires permit in CoV iirc, i looked in a deck many years ago when i was addicted to watching decked out

Cedar plank: | When i bought my place I had a similar decision, do I go deck, concrete or paving stones?
I went paving stones, I got a pretty good deal from a friend I couldn't have done it much cheaper myself for what he did it for and I didn't have to lift a shovel. Maintenance is easy, power wash it once a year and be done with it.

The biggest cost is having to build up a retaining wall as I have is that our patio door is elevated off the ground, and aeshetically we didn't like it simply sitting flush on our lawn.

Also Don't be suprised when your tenants do a midnight move and take all the copper pipes in the walls with them.
