There is a Sno Fest at De La Salle Park on Lake Drive on Saturday, Feb. 13, 2010.  Free sleigh rides, snowmobile rides, dog sled rides and other activities. Admission is FREE.  Great event for the family.  Call the Town at 905-476-4301 x 240 for more info.

In the past we have heard people complain about cold rooms on the North side of the house.  It's never an insulation factor, because I inspect all installations as well as the building inspector.  Not that we are infallable, but the chance that we both miss it is zero.  Builders have been forced to make the homes air tight but air has to flow in through the insulation and that air is what keeps the house warm.  The key is to keep it in the wall as best as we can.

We just had our gas Dryer and dishwasher serviced from Mario at Northern Appliance Parts & Service.  Call him by the way at 905-476-1314 - he's trustworthy and fair and we've used him before.  It wasn't heating up properly.  Mario took off the front cover (which by the way the Sears guy did not do).  Much to my surprise the enormous amount of lint that was in there had signs of being on fire!  There were charred pieces of lint evident - that was a bit of a shocker!  I mean I had heard that fires are caused by dryers but you don't really think

Just wanted to post that Gigget Lockie from Keswick did our new interactive website!  She has great talent and has a nice attitude to go with it.   If you are looking for a web designer please give her a call at 905-476-5125 or gigget@rogers.com.

Her prices are very reasonable and I Highly recommend her and will continue to use her services to update our site as required.
