  1. You may be waiting a while.. Bucci just sold her house for 2.05 mill Our old neighbourhood is nuts.
  2. I'm not sure on that 5%, I think they are lacking in real time info. Chinese will do whatever it takes to buy, friends family etc they will find a way around our market. I know a small builder very well in Markham, his sales are almost 100% Chinese. There may be one Canadian family member buying 20 homes for themselves, stats won't show this. One story of a client of mine trying to buy in Oakville....His agent showed 8 homes to an investor, at the end of the day he asked which one he wanted...."I'll take it" was the response....All 8....yuup. between 2 and 5 mill each. I got more stories like this. Market is fawked! 5% nation wide maybe , in reality the GTA is likely 30% or more....just my experiance. I don't think the Govt would waste their time on 5% In Vancouver there was a sharp and distinct drop in sales, once the investors figured they can still make money it's back to the way it was.
  3. Foreign buyers are more than you may suspect. Lot of my business is through them. I see a lot of occupied homes (vacant in reality) in subdivisions now. Chinese and Persians like to gamble on real estate.
  4. Your not bad at 24, one of the shortest walks, great section. 11,12 are great sections but a looong walk. Water taxi is reserved for paddock Vip's I think. Was a guest at red bull once and got picked up at hotel and put on a boat...nice! Subway and a crowded walk for everyone else. At least you can pack you own cooler with beer of choice and some good eats.
  5. Look at you Switzerland. Thought you krauts started wars. Pocket pizza eaten..I can feel the luv now
  6. How the heck did you get a lumber supplier to do that? You must of been a royal pita. That's a first time I've ever come across a supplier coming through after install and a rain storm. Before yes.I can understand why you make a good front man in retail. Did Rick frame you up? I saw him a year or so ago. Velcan is a wholesaler, great pricing and service. One of the few not under the Alpa group......yet
  7. That was the huge three buoys houseboat rental fleet HQ years ago. We are almost neighbour's, our cottage is 10 mins up the road or 15 min boat ride. I'll have to pop in one weekend. We have some catching up to do.
  8. Hey Bob..u buy in the old three buoys property or closer to Buckhorn? Nice btw!
  9. The local trails above Hearst are worth checking out, lightly traveled always perfect, trail below Kap is a nice diversion, tighter.
  10. Just back from Gaspé, buddies 850 hit 108 on his gps, his 800 last year only touched 100. Doo's speedo are way off to justify all the bs their owners spew.
  11. I got mine done in Newmarket. Found another in Markham
  12. Third party, tint, detail shop. Not cheap for me. I didn't shop around was in a hurry before my next 1600 km road trip to sled. $1000 but saved a bit putting through the company name
  13. I just had my new truck done. Ford After 1000 km had stone chips on painted bumper. Did bumper, hood, fenders, lights, front between lights. They laser cut to exact shape of truck. 3m is the best product, some use a shit product.
  14. Torcan does every kind of lift, they are pretty big. Stanmore may be of some help, not positive. They are in Goodwood. The others are strictly rough terrain. How those skis work on the polaris? Do you find the axys needs some help on the front end? I'm looking at polaris now, Imo they are the best ride. Suited me to a tee
  15. Hey Garth, Market is so busy now you will be hard pressed to find a deal. I've had a few contractors offering to rent mine for some decent money because they can't find any. Just sold my straight mast lift king for 7k is that something your looking for? A shit box telehandler is fetching big money right now. Dollar sucks now but I bought a few from the states when the market went tits up in 08. Try Stanmore, Torcan, Finnish line, Melo, Tovel for used rough terrain forks. Drop me a line if that's what you want my diesel mechanic may know of one. P.S I'm the framer you bought the SLP's from. Provided your the Garth who did Richards Oakville house a few years back?

  16. These work well, bought a couple used one's last season for the cottage. We face west on an open lake and get some rough stuff. AC's floating lifts are much more convenient and easy to use though, depends on what your conditions are. I can lift mine with two strong guys, it's a struggle now that I'm nearing 50. 3 people is much easier and four is a cinch.
  17. Got to luv those 300's...nice pic. This weather has me switching focus to the water. You going to get out with us this year? Looking at going down to Nashville, Knoxville for some river running at May two, four
  18. Your polite. People can change!
  19. I went to school with Timlek. Toughest nut bar I knew of.
  20. How was it Glenn? I'm likely travelling from New Lowell over that way Sunday morn. Teds Range for a lunch stop.
  21. That area never freezes and current carries a long way down Buckhorn. Every few years someone goes down there, usually a local. I don't get it.
  22. Ontario has a huge drawback...no friggin snow!! I've got near 3000km this season..400 in Ontario.
  23. No lack of snow here. Head east my friends. Quebec, Maurice, Lanaundier region. Conditions are primo. Snow everyday this week.
