Hey guys,I'm from Richmond Hill and I'm living with my wife and kids.Bought a new house and we're planning to shift very soon. But here's the problem, our new house is a little bit small compared to the one we're living in. So it's not spacious enough to accommodate all the stuff we have.We tried different patterns to organize the new house. We even went to the house and checked. But no matter how hard we try the house will look really congested especially the living room. Hence it leaves us…Continue

Log Home update

So the wife and are in our log home, thanks to Peele Timber out of Middlesex NC.,. They are the best people and working crew that any one can afford.

Electrical Panel Upgrade

I'm planning to upgrade my electrical panel to 200 amp. The house is too old, I mean around 25-30 years old. So, I think it's high to upgrade the panel to avoid electrical accidents.When asked about the panel upgrade people are saying different things.

Hi newbie here

Hi, I'm looking to buy a home in Edmonton. It has been six months since I'm in a hunt for a dream home. As you all know buying a home is kind of a long term investment, we can't change it that easy! That is why it took a little longer to find a good one.The thing is, I had a plan of buying a home within the budget of $400-$450k(In the case of houses which doesn't need any renovation afterward). The house which satisfied me seem to cost around $500k including some patch-up works. I can make it…Continue
