Lito's House Project List - Item 1

Number 1 on the list - Shingles Replacement - completed. 

After delaying the shingle replacement for more than a year, we finally decided to go ahead and do it. Thanks to Canadian tire's 36 months equal instalment and no interest scheme. Now I no longer worry whenever it rains.

Project details:

Duration: 1 Day
Labor and materials: between CAD 5,000 and 10,000
Completion date: 17 April 2014

Pros: 50 year transferrable warranty, free inspection on the 5th and 10 year which includes fixing of issues for free, 36 months to pay via Canadian Tire Financial, 10 percent Cash back in terms of Canadian Tire money

Cons:a little bit pricey compared to smaller contractors quote. It always make you cry when you get the monthly Canadian Tire statement (LOL)

Where To Dispose Sony 29" Flat Screen Television...

I had a hard time moving our old 29 inch Sony flat screen television from the basement to the main floor and from main floor to the van. I even got some black and blue marks or bruises on my arms and legs from lifting it. Drove to Goodwill to donate it and found out that they do not accept electonic equipment that are over 5 years old. I was told to check womens shelter to find out if they are in need of the item I am trying to donate. Reason for disposing is to free up some space in the basement. It still work 100%. It just needs a converter box because it can only accept analog signals and not the current digital signals. Since garbage day is on Friday, I might just leave it on the curb and hopefully someone will pick it up. I just hope it does not rain.
