Tumblr media
As homeowners embark on remodeling projects to enhance the functionality and aesthetics of their living spaces, one aspect that should not be overlooked is electrical remodeling. From updating outdated wiring to installing energy-efficient lighting systems, electrical remodeling services play a crucial role in modernizing homes and ensuring safety, efficiency, and comfort. In this article, we explore the significance of electrical remodeling services and the benefits they offer to homeowners.
Ensuring Safety and Compliance
Electrical safety is paramount in any home, and outdated or faulty wiring can pose serious risks such as electrical fires, shocks, and damage to appliances. Electrical remodeling services involve inspecting, repairing, and upgrading electrical systems to meet current safety standards and building codes. By addressing potential hazards and ensuring compliance with regulations, homeowners can safeguard their families and property from electrical accidents and liabilities.
Enhancing Functionality and Convenience

Whether it's adding additional outlets, installing USB charging ports, or upgrading to smart home automation systems, electrical remodels enhance the functionality and convenience of living spaces. By incorporating modern electrical solutions, homeowners can streamline daily tasks, improve energy efficiency, and enhance overall comfort and convenience.
Improving Energy Efficiency
Energy efficiency is a key consideration for homeowners seeking to reduce utility costs and minimize their environmental footprint. Electrical remodeling services include upgrading to energy-efficient lighting fixtures, appliances, and electrical systems that consume less energy and reduce electricity bills. LED lighting, programmable thermostats, and energy-efficient appliances are just a few examples of upgrades that can significantly lower energy consumption and contribute to sustainable living.
Modernizing Aesthetics and Design
Electrical remodeling services play a vital role in enhancing the aesthetics and design of homes. By incorporating stylish lighting designs, accent lighting, and architectural lighting solutions, homeowners can create ambiance, highlight architectural features, and enhance the overall visual appeal of their living spaces. From pendant lights and recessed lighting to under-cabinet lighting and landscape lighting, electrical remodels offer endless possibilities for transforming the look and feel of interiors and exteriors.
Increasing Property Value
Investing in electrical remodeling not only improves the functionality and aesthetics of homes but also increases their resale value. Homes with updated electrical systems and modern amenities are more attractive to potential buyers and command higher prices in the real estate market. Whether it's preparing a home for sale or enhancing its long-term value, electrical remodeling services offer a high return on investment and contribute to the overall marketability of properties.
Electrical remodeling services are essential for homeowners seeking to modernize their homes, improve safety, functionality, and energy efficiency, and enhance their overall living experience. From ensuring safety and compliance to enhancing aesthetics and property value, electrical remodels offer a wide range of benefits that make them a worthwhile investment for homeowners. By partnering with qualified electricians and contractors, homeowners can transform their living spaces into safe, efficient, and stylish environments tailored to their needs and preferences.

The freezing rain storm we had last Wednesday was fun to photograph for the first few hours, but then power started going out all over the city in Montreal. We lost power that evening, and it wasn’t restored until 11 a.m. today, five-and-a-half days later! We didn’t even have cellphone coverage in our area for the first couple of days! The West Island was one of the last to be serviced, but there are still people here and there without power, waiting...  
We were lucky that we had a son and daughter-in-law living in an area that got power back quickly, so we stayed with them for 3 days. But there were some people on our street who stuck it out in their cold houses for the whole time! We take electricity for granted, until we don’t have it. Then we realize how much we rely on it!

Any Montreal recommendations for someone who’s road-tripping there this summer?? I saw your post about the Shrek rave, Spice Girls burlesque, and the New Tokyo cyberpunk bar and trust your taste lol
Okay so honestly I fucking love Montreal but the way I travel is not like the way most people l know like to travel. Here’s my main points.
Stay: Rue St. Hubert, St. Andre, Plateau, Mont Royal, near Rue St. Catherine but not on Rue St. Catherine. I have gotten really good advance room rates at M Montreal. It was more expensive in April but it’s a very nice, updated hostel with laundry.
Transport: Park in a garage and buy a metro pass. I don’t even bother checking the timetables until past midnight. The trains come every few minutes. Green line will get you into the party district. Orange line will take you to the Old Port. Yellow line will take you to Île Saint-Hélène, which has a really good view of the downtown skyline. Depending on where you stay you can walk to most things.
Safety: Lots of people are still out after dark in the Village and Downtown and the main roads are well lit so I would consider it relatively safe. I’m a bulky muscular white guy so your experience may vary, but I never witnessed anybody getting harassed. Be more cautious inside and around metro stations since this is where more stabbings and robberies happen. Montreal is relatively safe so just use common sense like not being super obvious about being lost or carrying a huge amount of cash.
Food: I just use a maps app and sort by distance and rating. Get a fresh everything bagel from Fairmount Bagel (24/7 in the Plateau). La graine brulée near St. Catherine is pretty cute. They have vegan options and pretty good coffee. I’ve always found pretty good food by just walking into a cafe I liked the look of.
Bars/clubs/partying: Les Foufounes Électriques has live alt, grunge, punk, metal, hardcore type shows. Club Electric Avenue plays only 80s/90s music underneath a huge mural of Leonard Cohen. Really awesome interactive light-up dance floor and nice bartenders here. Drag shows en français á Bar Le Cocktail. I don’t hit the hetero clubs in Montreal so I’m not sure if that will make a difference here. Scruff usually has listings for a lot of stuff going on in the Village. Liquor is usually cheaper than it is in the USA. Mushrooms are available by mail order. SQDC is the provincial dispensary and they have several locations around Montreal.
You don’t need to know any French to operate in Montreal but you will get better service and meet more people if you muddle through a greeting and your coffee order in French. Driving around can be a really fun way to see the city but do it between 8pm-4am. Tipping culture is similar to the USA. Don’t underestimate googling “events/concerts/shows Montreal [dates]” and also check out community posting boards in shops and on the street. Pride is happening August 3-13. There’s lots of museums and a nice botanical garden if you want a shorter daytime activity. Walking around is really the best way to see things.
Enjoy the trip! Montreal is an awesome, diverse city with tons of interesting things to see and do.

My favorite radio stations. 💖😙💗🥰🎶📻🎵
91.3 RSU college radio. I have been listening to them for about 15 years. 💗 (as long as I've lived in Oklahoma and for the brief couple of years I did not I still streamed them online daily!) Always plays the best new indie and has amazing weekly programming blocks for punk rock, Latin alternative, metal, oldies (sockhop Saturday morning!

There are virtually no ads, they play great tracks from the 80s 90s and 00s and they are very pleasant when they do have their small talk shows and programing blocks, its also great to hear about Singapore traditions and lifestyles. Their time is different from mine so it is fun they will be talking about going to bed when I'm making breakfast or talking about morning things when its time for bed here and play Saturday night party remixes all Saturday morning and day, the extra long remix Mashup dance tracks are actually a lot of fun so I'm glad!
Irish pub radio is a great one for irish classics and popular Irish artists of today. My family is Irish heritage and I've grown up with this music. They tend to repeat a lot of things but I will put this on when I need my Irish fix or really want to hear the saw doctors. Cead mile failte. 🇮🇪

Sunday 2nd July 2023
You can't get a decent cup of coffee here. I'm not complaining, just saying. Either the cafes shut at 2pm, there aren't any cafes even in an obvious tourist hot spot, or if they are open, they sell drip coffee. We would call it coffee from a filter machine. No lattes, flat white or cappuccino. It hurts to say this, but perhaps the only halfway decent cup came from McDonald's, 4$.
After a rapid shopping expedition to Save on Foods supermarket in Salmon Arm to stock up on bread and local SB wine we were on our way to Golden 251km away and still just inside BC but much further up into the mountains. Our first stop along the way was The Last Spike a very small place marking the spot where the two halves of the Canadian Pacific railroad joined, the Last Spike being the last nail used to attach the rail to its sleeper on the newly built railway in November 1885. Big event and the company director Donald Smith came along in person to wack it in place no doubt taking time to personally thank all 15,000 of the Chinese work force who by extreme hard graft built the thing. The Canadian Pacific still passes this spot today. Were you to be prepared to shell out 29$ you can buy a spike but before I was prepared to cough up the hard earned, I enquired how it was that there were quite a few 'last spikes' available; which one was indeed the last one? The very helpful young lady replied 'whichever one you are prepared to buy'. Suspecting there was something a bit fishy about all this I decided against purchasing one.
Our next stop was about halfway and we pulled into Revelstoke and continuing the railway theme we called into the railway museum by the Canadian Pacific railway line in downtown Revelstoke. It was a great place to visit with just about the largest Steam Engine '5468' on display I have ever seen. Built in Montreal in 1948 as oil and water powered, it only remained in service until 1954. By then it had been superseded by more efficient diesel electric trains that first were introduced here in the forties. 2-8-2 configuration it was ideal for the harsh terrain across the Rockies and although it had greater power than its replacement, diesel locomotives can always double up.
Leaving Revelstoke behind we continued our journey north into real mountain country and the fast road we were on tracked the contours of the mountains; Bear Creek, Beaver Creek, Rogers Pass, following the river and the Canadian Pacific railway. This is different country from the softer areas we have travelled from. No wineries or fruit farms here, just rugged mountains and fast flowing rivers. Soon they will have salmon and the bears and Eagles will be waiting for them.
We pulled off the main highway and tucked some 20 Kms above Golden in the mountains is our home for the following two nights. In Australia they would call this woop woop. I shall find out if the Canadians have a term for middle of nowhere. The property by rights should attract the attention of Ben Fogle; a keen supporter of off grid living. Our little log cabin in the woods would suit him. Surrounded by mountains and looking across the meadow grazed by the owners horses, it is nature completely at peace with itself. Thankfully it does have WiFi. There are bears, they say, but with an undetermined number of dogs around the bears are not completely signed up to this as a chez nous. None in sight as we speak.
Have to keep an eye out for rattlesnakes I suppose although I read that 2 of the 3 fatalities from rattlesnake bites happened because they were trod on. Lesson there I feel.
ps These mountains are serious. Tallest in the Rockies is 4,399m high. It was not too far from here that Brokeback Mountain was filmed.
pps Clocks went forward as we were driving north.
ppps Have to be up at the crack tomorrow. I'm told if we drive up the road around 7am we might see a bear!! Why can't they sleep in and make a rendezvous at 9?
pppps The further north we go, the more beautiful this country seems.

"Radio Police Seek Interfering Corpse," Montreal Star. June 6, 1933. Page 3. --- EDDIE CURTISS, engineer in charge, and other officials of the Montreal police radio department are in the throes of an intensive search for a corpse. And they don't know what kind of a corpse they are looking for. Friday night, which has become known in police circles as hold-up night in view of the many hold-ups staged recently on Friday nights, the radio transmitter at police headquarters suddenly went dead. It was dead for three hours until a service man finally managed to get it in working order again but could not discover the cause. Yesterday James Carlisle, radio engineer of the Northern Electric who worked on construction of the radio at headquarters, was called in to try and solve the mystery. After a minute inspection he decided that the disorder resulted from a short circuit on the transmitter wires, probably caused by a large green fly, a bee or some other insect lighting on the wires. His departing words were "Try and find the corpse."

Day 24: New Haven EP-5
Info from Wikipedia
The New Haven EP-5 was a double-ended mercury arc rectifier electric locomotive built in 1955 by General Electric, for the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad. It was built to haul passenger trains between Grand Central Terminal or Penn Station in New York City and New Haven, Connecticut. The EP-5s resembled the Alco FA.
The EP-5s were the first AC passenger electric locomotives to use rectifiers to convert alternating current from overhead wires to direct current for the traction motors. They also collected DC from the third rail used by the New York Central, whose tracks the New Haven used to reach Grand Central Terminal. All of the class were equipped with the Pennsylvania Railroad's cab signal system needed to operate into Penn Station; Washington, D.C.-Boston through trains over the Hell Gate Bridge, plus the Montrealer/Washingtonian, were their main assignment throughout their New Haven careers.
The units were known as "Jets" due to the roaring sound made by their main blowers; an example of this characteristic was inadvertently preserved for posterity in a scene shot at Grand Central Terminal, the very first moments of the movie The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit.
The EP-5s had a reputation for rapid acceleration and high pulling capacity. However, the class also had a tendency to overheat and catch fire due to the crowded, poorly ventilated internal component arrangement, a situation made necessary by the need for the units to conform to the weight restrictions imposed by the New York Central's Park Avenue steel viaduct. This problem was significantly aggravated by the New Haven management's de-emphasis of electric operations in favor of its new dual-power FL9 diesels, and the railroad's financial condition. By 1962, a year after the New Haven entered bankruptcy, only three units were in service. All 10 were quickly rebuilt under the trustees' management, but by the time of the New Haven's 1969 inclusion in Penn Central, four were again out of service (and were soon scrapped). The EP-5s were rapidly replaced on Washington–Boston trains by the reliable former Pennsylvania Railroad GG1 electrics.
When the New Haven was merged into PC, the six units still in service were redesignated as the E-40 class, and were assigned to commuter train service between Grand Central Terminal and New Haven. The E-40s continued in this service, steadily dwindling in number, until May 1973 when the Metropolitan Transportation Authority suddenly banned them after #4971 caught fire in the Park Avenue Tunnel; all went into dead storage. Amtrak passed them up for new electrics. Two of the units, #4973 and #4977, were rebuilt by PC into freight units, stripped of their third-rail capability, steam generators, and one of the two pantographs. They were used in a variety of light-duty freight services, but their utility was limited by their lack of multiple-unit capability and dynamic brakes. Within a year of Penn Central's inclusion into Conrail, the remaining two E-40s were retired. All were scrapped by 1979.

Diesel Engine 4001 @ Thirlmere 2024 Festival of Steam
Thirlmere village was once again awakened to the enchanting sound of the steam whistle for the annual Thirlmere Festival of Steam! One of the featured engines stealing the show was Diesel Engine 4001 - The 40 class was a groundbreaking group of diesel locomotives constructed by Montreal Locomotive Works in Canada for the New South Wales Department of Railways in 1951/52. These locomotives were the very first mainline diesel electric engines to be built for the department, marking a significant advancement in railway technology. Based on the ALCO RSC-3 design, the 40 class featured unique modifications that set them apart from the standard American Locomotive Company models. These included specially angled cab sides and handrail placements on the car body, showcasing innovative engineering and design. Initially utilized for heavy freight services from Sydney to Broadmeadow, the 40 class locomotives later served on North Coast routes to Brisbane and Main South line services to Albury. Their distinctive grey undercoat was eventually replaced with a vibrant verdant green, and even a royal blue for the 1954 Royal Tour of Queen Elizabeth II. Despite their initial success, the 40 class locomotives faced challenges with electrical work and power output compared to newer models. As a result, they were gradually phased out of service starting in May 1968, with the final locomotive retired in December 1971. Some parts were even repurposed for the construction of the new 442 class locomotives, ensuring their legacy lived on in future railway innovations.

Finding the Ideal Thermostat Setting for a Cool Summer in Montreal
Tumblr media
Finding the perfect balance between staying cool and keeping energy costs in check becomes a top priority for homeowners. The thermostat setting plays a crucial role in achieving this balance, as it directly impacts indoor comfort and energy consumption. But what is the best thermostat setting for summer in Montreal? Let's explore some guidelines to help you find the optimal temperature setting for your home during the warmer months.
Consider Comfort and Energy Efficiency
When setting your thermostat for summer in Montreal, it's essential to prioritize both comfort and energy efficiency. Aim to keep your home cool enough to stay comfortable while avoiding excessive cooling that can lead to energy waste and higher utility bills. The ideal indoor temperature for most people's comfort during the summer months is typically between 75°F (24°C) and 78°F (26°C).
Programmable Thermostat Benefits
Tumblr media
Investing in a programmable thermostat can be a game-changer when it comes to optimizing comfort and energy savings. Programmable thermostats allow you to schedule temperature adjustments throughout the day, ensuring that your home is cooler when you're awake and active and slightly warmer when you're asleep or away. In Montreal's climate, consider setting your thermostat to a slightly higher temperature during the daytime hours when outdoor temperatures are at their peak, and lower it in the evening when temperatures begin to cool down.
Leverage Natural Cooling Strategies
Tumblr media
Take advantage of natural cooling strategies to reduce the need for artificial cooling and keep your home comfortable without overworking your air conditioning system. In the evenings and early mornings, when outdoor temperatures are cooler, open windows and doors to allow fresh air to circulate throughout your home. Use ceiling fans or portable fans to enhance airflow and create a refreshing breeze. Close curtains or blinds during the day to block out direct sunlight and prevent excess heat from entering your home.
Optimize Air Conditioning Efficiency
Tumblr media
If you have central air conditioning or ductless mini-split systems, ensure that your cooling equipment is properly maintained and operating efficiently. Schedule annual maintenance appointments to clean or replace air filters, check refrigerant levels, and inspect components for any signs of wear or damage. By keeping your cooling system in peak condition, you can maximize its efficiency and performance while minimizing energy consumption and utility costs.
Personalize Your Cooling Preferences
Ultimately, the best thermostat setting for summer in Montreal may vary depending on your personal comfort preferences, lifestyle, and household dynamics. Some individuals may prefer a slightly cooler indoor temperature, while others may be comfortable at slightly higher temperatures. Experiment with different thermostat settings to find the right balance between comfort and energy savings that works best for you and your family.
In summation, finding the ideal thermostat setting for summer in Montreal involves striking a balance between staying cool and energy efficiency. Aim to keep your home comfortable with temperatures ranging between 75°F (24°C) and 78°F (26°C), leveraging programmable thermostats, natural cooling strategies, and efficient air conditioning systems. By optimizing your thermostat settings and implementing smart cooling practices, you can enjoy a cool and comfortable summer while keeping energy costs under control.

Exploring the Cost of Living in Canada: A Realistic Breakdown
Canada, with its stunning landscapes, rich cultural tapestry, and renowned quality of life, is a dream destination for many. However, before packing your bags and heading north, it's crucial to understand the practicalities, including the cost of living. An important aspect of this is the MIM in Canada cost.
What is MIM?
Minimum Income (MIM) is a concept that reflects the minimum amount an individual or household needs to cover basic necessities such as housing, food, clothing, transportation, and healthcare. In Canada, the MIM varies across provinces and territories due to differences in living expenses, housing markets, and social assistance programs.
Let's delve into the key components of the MIM in Canada cost:
1. Housing: The largest expense for most Canadians is housing. In major cities like Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal, rental prices can be substantial. A one-bedroom apartment in the downtown core of these cities can easily cost over $1,500 per month. Purchasing a home comes with even higher costs, often reaching into the millions in urban centers.
2. Food: The cost of groceries in Canada can vary depending on where you live and your dietary preferences. Generally, expect to spend a few hundred dollars per month on groceries for an individual, with costs increasing for families.
3. Transportation: Owning a car in Canada can be expensive due to costs such as insurance, fuel, and maintenance. Public transportation is available in most urban areas, with monthly passes costing around $100-$150, depending on the city.
4. Healthcare: One of the perks of living in Canada is access to universal healthcare. While basic medical services are covered by the government, additional expenses such as prescription medications, dental care, and vision care may require private insurance or out-of-pocket payments.
5. Utilities: Electricity, heating, water, and internet are essential utilities that come with monthly expenses. The cost can vary based on factors like usage and location but budgeting a few hundred dollars per month for these expenses is typical.
6. Miscellaneous Expenses: This category includes items like clothing, entertainment, and personal care products. Costs in this category can vary greatly depending on individual lifestyle choices and preferences.
Navigating the Cost of Living:
The MIM in Canada cost requires careful budgeting and financial planning. While some expenses such as housing and health care may be higher than other countries, Canada also offers many social programs and benefits to support its residents.
For those considering moving to Canada, it's essential to research the cost of living in specific cities or regions to get a clearer picture of what to expect. Additionally, exploring job opportunities, understanding tax implications, and considering factors such as climate and lifestyle are crucial steps in making an informed decision.
Conclusion
while the MIM in Canada cost can be significant, it is possible to achieve a comfortable standard of living with careful planning and budgeting. Whether you're drawn to the vibrant cities, pristine wilderness, or diverse cultural experiences, Canada offers a wealth of opportunities for those willing to embrace its unique charm and challenges.

A Step-by-Step Guide to Achieve Your Dream Home In Canada 
Realtor Advertising
Tumblr media
For many individuals, it is a dream come true to have their own house. Whether you are a first-time buyer or thinking of an upgrade, Canada's real estate market is quite varied enough with lots of offerings.  
With so much realtor advertising going on, it often becomes hard to know what’s the right way to get your dream home. Worry not in this guide, we are going through the steps of fulfilling your dream of owning your own home.
1. Financial Preparation
Budget: Decide on how much you are able to pay. Consider your income, current debts and monthly expenses. Utilize online calculators to compute your mortgage amortisation.
Credit Score: Credit score is a pivotal factor for getting a mortgage. Make sure you check your credit rating and rectify any issues.
Down Payment: Putting money aside for a down payment. In Canada, the minimum set for a home cost up to $500,000 is 5%. However, for the homes with the cost higher than that, the down payment will be increased.
2. Research and Location
Tumblr media
Explore Cities: Canada has lively cities including cities like Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, and Calgary. Research their real estate market, employment possibilities, and scenarios of life there.
Neighbourhoods: Choose the neighbourhoods which match your specific predilections, like nearby workplaces, schools, parks, and amenities.
Market Trends: Analyze local real estate trends. Is it a seller's or a buyer's market? Visit the agents and market reports.
3. Mortgage Pre-Approval
Lenders: To start the process, approach banks, credit unions, or brokers for pre-approval. They’ll scrutinize your financials and issue a pre-approval letter.
Interest Rates: Evaluate the interest rates and mortgage terms.Fixed or variable?Short-term or long-term?
4. Search for a Real Estate Agent
Expertise: A real estate agent knows the market, acts as your rep, and leads you to the destination.
Interview: Meet the potential agents. Ask them about their accomplishments, the stories they have to tell, and how they deal with people
5. House Hunting
Wishlist: Develop a list of must-haves and would-be nice-to-have items. Always look at the size, the plan, and the finish of the bedroom.
Viewings: Attend open houses and spend some time on site. Take notes on features, do a comparison, and contrast different brands.
6. Make an Offer
Negotiation: Together with your agent, prepare to make an offer. Since price, conditions (e.g. home inspection) and closing date are involved, reflect on them carefully.
Deposit: Suggest a deposit (normally it would be from 1 to 5% of the sale price when having the agreement) with the offer in.
7. House Condition and Valuation
Inspection: Get in touch with a thorough professional inspector. They will look at the state and condition of the property. They will check the structural elements, plumbing and electrical components.
Appraisal: But the lender needs to find out the exact worth of the property by hiring the appraisers.
8. Finalize Financing
Mortgage Approval: Once the offer of your purchase is accepted, the loan you have chosen should be finalised with the lender.
Legal Representation: Find a real estate attorney whom you can trust to take care of the legal matters in the sale/purchase of your home.
9. Closing Day
Paperwork: Make sure the dealing is registered, money is transferred, and you pay the closing costs required (e.g., land transfer fee, legal fees).
Possession: Get behind the wheel and start your amazing homeownership journey!
10. Post-Purchase Considerations
Utilities and Services: Use electricity, water, and gas facilities at your service and change your address.
Home Insurance: The best protection against the risks associated with home ownership is home insurance.
Enjoy!: Celebrating your accomplishment is the culmination of a long and hard journey, the easiest part is finally settling home.
Conclusion
Buying your dream house in Canada is a matter of considering and analyzing the options and engaging professional help when needed. Finally, follow through these steps. Within days you will be sipping coffee on your patio with a view of the Canadian countryside.
