Even though you strongly disagree with me I don't understand what would cause you give such a childish and inaccurate reply. Firstly I never said anyone was an idiot. I also never said that doing it your method was wrong. I repeatedly stated it was effective but excessive and unnecessary...

There's certainly nothing wrong with doing it that way and it will be very strong. But I know from years of experience mounting stuff a hell of a lot heavier than a TV that it's overkill. If I were to mount things with that method in my job I would be laughed at and with a some bosses possibly...

And Plywood. They don't make plywood specific screws. But they are not for any other purpose.

So what screws do you use to mount drywall then? If the answer is drywall screws then the question is, why would they be acceptable for drywall but not for plywood? They are similar in weight, size and thickness. If anything they will work better with plywood than drywall because it doesn't...

Regarding the toggle bolts, as I said I've never seen that used in the real world ever. Neither have any of my colleagues that I asked today. As I also said twice, it will work and will be strong but it's grossly over doing it IMO. We routinely mount sheets of plywood to which we then mount...

I think you grossly under estimate the strength of drywall screws. Holding heavy stuff on studs is what they are designed to do. There are quite literately billions of sheets of drywall on walls and ceilings around the world that are often as heavy or heavier than a TV and are able to stay in...

Toggle bolts are not designed to be used with a stud. They would be a nightmare to install (although granted, they'd be strong). Regular screws (something that bites like a drywall screw) would be more than enough for what Eug is describing. If I was doing it myself I would cut the drywall in...

Turner's numbers are building, selling, planning etc.

Exactly, and cheap credit has allowed them to do it. I agree with detroit, cheap credit is a major part of these high prices.

When the market corrects, Windsor will be cheaper still than it is now. Wait if you can.

This is one of the best posts I've seen on here is so long.

Most of the stuff is actually done by a legal clerk. They will assign you one when you sign up for their services. For actual lawyer, the only one I've ever dealt with is Mario at the yonge/finch office. This was for going over my contract on a purchase. I don't believe I've actually spoken to...

I've always used the office of Stephen Shub (I think the website is homelegalcost.com). That's all they do. If you're looking for really hands on, you're my buddy service you won't find it here, but I've always found them to be extremely competent and fairly reasonably priced.

Not too many years ago a small group of mostly unknown economists were warning of a global financial crisis. The majority of other economists, including those who went to "good schools" scoffed at them. Perhaps because they contributed to the factors that caused it. I've been reading this...

History has proven time and time again that you're right overall, just wrong on timing.

So since we have not had a correction yet and you were correct we will never have one and prices will rise for the rest of eternity? You'll regret the gloatful smugness of this posting down the road.

My building has missing floor numbers because every unit on that given floor is two storey lofts.

It's funny, cause after reading your posts over the months I think the same about you :) I think you're dead wrong. The condo market is now at the point of saturation and in the years after the correction, people will look back and say yep, it started in 2012.

The house is at 300 Dudley Ave.

You're lucky. Having a switched plug is quite common. It's a big pet peeve of mine.
