Since 2008 Canada has been pushing home prices higher. Canadian homes are considered by many to be the least affordable of all G20 nations. The Canadian government has, so far, avoided a melt-down. The question is can this continue. RBC's CEO, Dave Mckay, feels that consumers could come to the rescue in the even of a minor recession, which he is predicting. In any event, the Bank Of Canada has ...

Hot water does nothing. It cools as it moves down the drain. That’s even wore IMO.
Nice build on your grape press Mark. At first I thought the metal sieve that you were welding was going to go inside the White jug.
Yeah, wine now about ready to bottle. Whooohoooo!
As I'm sure you love your bees, it frustrates me to see how you banged and jared your hivetool to open the boxes, which was clear to see how much it upset the bees. We as backyard beekeepers have the liberty of taking more time, being more gentle and conscious of treating them with more respect. Take your suits off--this will teach us to slow down.
Hey, thanks for the heads up. I personally thought they did a great job and love their bees. I think the big mistake was wearing black shorts. Wow, if you look at the way they go for black, that is a definite no-no. Anyways, I am looking forward to hearing your comments when we harvest the honey in the next little while.
@@FierceTartan thx. But I wear black all the time with my bees and rarely get stung. It’s vibrations that get them going.
very entertaining, i highly recommend you watch bob binnie videos, you may be able to pay a commercial beekeeper to spend some time with him , spring would be best, also a canadian beekeeper i have seen does videos and has a couple of thousand hives. i just said to my wife how lucky i was to get a job with probably the best beekeeper in australia when i was 15, now OLD with 10 hives it's been a lifelong love affair, i think the better you get the more you will like it.
It certainly is addictive. I am psyched to do a follow-up and am stoked about how much interest people have in bees.
Nice friend,❤but I have only one bee box😂😂
Thank you.
Keep your money in the corrupt banks bud, it will be safer there... We don't want the establishment minded folks like yourself in Crypto because you will try to hand it over the the same corrupt individuals that are running the dollar ponzi, that is going under day by day... 😆 🤣 Funny, what happened to the stock market when firms went bankrupt? It went up? Smdh@stupid... Crypto doesn't have the tax payers dollars to bail out corrupt & bad decision making. We let it fall and replace it with something better. Such a horrible idea to let the bad fall and replace it with something better all while keeping the good projects instead of propping up the bad like the Federal Reserve system... Good luck with that mess... lolwsmdh
Time will tell.
Don't embarrass yourself with your ignorance.
Certainly a lot of movement recently. Hmmm, didn't FTX have an epic rise too?
Thanks for the vid. I have just been plagued by ice dams. I was surprised to see another proud homeowner of a split level in Montreal's West Island (the Pointe Claire weather report). I have installed the vents you showed, have Ice Shield under the shingles for 6' on the edges, 12 inches of insulation, I ensured the air got in through the eaves. We get ice dams high up on the roof, on the valleys between the upper and lower roof. I don't see icicles on the edge. You mentioned the valleys in the video. I think my options are to take cans of spray foam and caulking up into the attic and seal the buggery out of any cracks (make sure my pants are on tight).
If the economy and skyrocketing asset and real estate prices was artificially created by the Federal government deficit spending and Bank of Canada printing money out of thin air, exceeding their loan limits by 300% which artificially forced interest rates lower, and a massive increase in immigration numbers (500,000 per year evey year), than, the cure is the reverse. Spending cuts, higher interest rates above the rigged understated CPI and cuts to immigration numbers.
Assuming I agree with you, do you agree that this strategy will force a recession. I say this based on the following: 1. mortgage defaults will prompt banks to restrict credit = less demand; 2. lower demand will cause job losses in construction and real-estate and reduce GDP = less demand; 3. lower immigration will reduce demand. Taken together this seems to be a recipe for a significant correction as opposed to the soft landing the BOC are promoting.
Filmed on gopro huh?
Yes it was.
When you're finished your cabin and microsanna attach that trailer to your car and tow it out to ottawa. We've got a few logs in the property that need milling ;)
Lol. Would be delighted!
Very nice! Great editing, I need to learn that
I tried to find the unit you installed from Home Depot with no luck. Might not be produced anymore? Problem for me is I live in a cape cod with no way to get insulated. I am basically living in the attic! No soffits either! Just the way the house was built. I do have good insulation in the front of the house with ventilation just the second story has issues. Also, I agree that the roof vent at the peak does nothing when covered in snow!
Actually vents are rarely blocked by snow. No soffets is strange. Must be very hot in summer.
Great video! What remedy do you recommend for gutters with ice walls outside of rooms with vaulted ceilings, and therefore no attic crawl space to add insulation, just the space between the ceiling Sheetrock and the sub roofing?
Nuclear attack without seeing the roof: add insulation, put rubber membrane on exterior (resisto for example), metal roof if you can afford.
i dont put grease or coffee in my drain for 1 year and it still hapens every 6 months that drain starts blup, blup sound. The water in the kitchen and bathroom goes down good but when i let the flow of the water for 2 minutes then whater goes up in the flor there where is the bathroom. It goes up then i stop the wather and it goes down and the sound is deep inside the pipe like underground. I live in the apartment not the house.
My husband was pouring hamburger grease down the drain 😡 and I had to stop him. I’m replacing the sink baskets amd looked down the U seeing a bunch of greasy green smelly stuff 🤢 I just want to get a new U pipe 😂 but really though, I’m thinking of somehow cleaning it like with a pipe cleaner if I don’t vomit.
Start with boiling water and then a snake. Replacing the pipe is likely overkill.
@@FierceTartan lol I know. I was kidding 😊 I tried boiling water/ vinegar: baking soda etc but the smell came back a few days later (my drains aren’t clogged) I ended up getting long 2 inch diameter bendable pipe brushes and they worked great. Also put those fizzy dish washer tabs in the p trap . Replaced connector gaskets and new sink drains (old ones were brittle plastic). Feel like I can breath again and I no longer need glade plugins and candles when people come over 😂
Isnt ice (dam) in gutters from day temps 33°+ and with sun 😮 Then the night time temps drop in the 20s or 5° like in Mi often (roller coaster temps)= so melting snow then freezes! How to ya avoid Nature? Or am i wrong
Ice dams form at edge of the roof because the melting water freezes there.
@@FierceTartan Yes, johnnybravo implied that with his statement, saying in effect that no matter how good the roof insulation the midday sun will melt the top snow layer, which then flows down to the roof edge and subsequently freezes as the day cools off.
So ventilation is the secret to taking care of ice dams.
You need good insulation and ventilation. The idea is to keep the attic cold because it is the melting snow that causes ice dams to form above the soffits where the water freezes and then backs up. PM me if you have more questions, I have gained a lot of knowledge related to ice dams over the years.
@@FierceTartan How do I PM you Mark ??? Thanks
The melting cables aren't working for me
Melting cables is only a bandaid approach to the problem. The correct fix is both proper insulation and soffit-roof venting!
@@chuckgoodman3828 I meant literally, I think I have a bad cable. Taking it back tomorrow. No heat coming from it at all.
@@67goodoleboy67 Yeah these cables get pretty warm.
That sucks. if it works you would know within an hour or so.
@@chuckgoodman3828 I agree, not going to solve anything.
Ice dams can be avoided with 1.) proper levels of insulation on the attic floor to include the areas over the exterior wall top plates, 2.) effective free-flow ventilation of the attic space from the soffit vents to the ridge vent (or roof vents), and 3.) air sealing of all the attic by-passes to prevent warm house air from entering the attic space. All three of these measures, properly installed, work in unison to help to keep the temperature of the underside of the roof deck below 32 degrees F. to prevent snow from melting and gravitating down the roof slope and re-freezing at the eave's edge. It's a bit tricky to get it done right especially with low sloped roofs. The biggest challenge is effective air sealing out at the perimeter of the eaves where the joints of the exterior wall plates meet the ceiling drywall. Spray foam works best for this situation. What I've described above treats the root causes of ice dams, not simply applying "fixes" to treating the symptoms of ice dams (i.e. heat tape).
All true and exactly what I said at 1 min 9 seconds.
I agree with you Kevin you obviously know what you are talking about. Actually, your point of sealing the joints where the exterior wall plates meet the ceiling drywall seems like a good one. Do you happen to have a link to a related image that you could post. Sometimes a picture is worth a bunch of words. Lol. Thanks.
If this is true why did Mark's solution work?
Check the overhang inside your home at the outer walls and see if the insulation is blocking the air flow from the soffit area. Usually the #1 problem. Install insulation baffles between the rafters.
Yeah I checked this and cleaned out soffits first thing.
If CMHC doesn't insure homes over 1 million and Toronto average home prices will be over a million this year,
They will just make a new policy. The government is intent on keeping the bubble growing.
Damn ice! Ice Damn problems!
Yeah, as you can see, I have had my issues too.
“Canadians prefer to pay more for real estate “ . I hope that this quote wasn’t accurate because if it is we don’t look too smart!
Sadly it is.
Real estate correction will occur when the Bank of Canada ALLOWS rigged interest rates to rise. Until then, the ponzi party is still on???
Amen!
Porter must be on dope???? CEntral Banks and their market manipulations are the cause of skyrocketing real estate, stock prices and devaluation of the currency and a loss of purchasing power.
Yes, sadly it is taxpayers and first time buyers that are going to be left holding the bag.
Its really a great video mark. I would love to watch the next video on this.

Thank you so much Mark for taking the time to share your knowledge and experience with me !! You’re very resourceful and honest man and I do trust your judgment 👍
Thanks for the feedback. Whooohoooo!
I always tell my wife not to pour grease in the sink, she says okay shakes her head and does exactly what she wants too, pour grease down the drain I now have a clogged drain which I tried to unclog at least three times now and I have to do it all over again,, but thanks for the help. Good video from Sacramento
You need a 50/50 mix of lower and upper ventilation. Having only roof vents wont do much for ice dams if you dont have soffit ventilation.
I have a metal roof and decent insulation and I went ahead and installed a radiant barrier between the insulation under the roof to keep the roof nice and Cold-- however I think if you have ice damming a ladder and roof rake( shovel with extending handle) would be a good answer provided you aren’t lazy,,, and if you are lazy this will help cure you. No need to walk on the roof either that only makes sense if your roof is Flat and well built of course---
Will you recommend to do the same thing if the following is happening... My kitchen sink gets full of nasty smelly water everytime I wash clothes....what could it be, I can't afford to call a plumber I need help please
Lots of boiling water is worth trying. Cheap and will break down grease and kill bacteria.
Likely it is stagnant water or your sewage is not properly isolated from the sink. I.e. look pu a p-trap to understand what I mean.
Thanks! I just cleared my drain with a ton of boiling hot water and a 1/2 gallon of vinegar.
Hey V Star, glad to hear you fixed it. Whooohoooo
I wish my wife would have listened to me and not poured grease down the damn sink. I am dealing with the same hot mess you guys were.
Not fun. Good luck with that.
I got lucky, and was able to beat it with a tool fashioned out of small gauge wire to create a barbed appearance. It pushed the through, from the sink drain, and created enough of an opening the dry powder/ water combo could go to work to make the rest of it vanish. Works flawlessly now.
