Hey Ottawa-ites. I'm hoping someone can help me out, and point me in the right direction. I need to get some work done on my place - light electrical and minor plumbing, primarily. So, if you have any contacts you can recommend, I'd greatly appreciate it. Have a good one! JohnS

Thanks for passing this along. Have a good one! JohnS

John, I think in some ways you're being misled by well-intentioned people. I say this because I believe most of the people who have answered are not the kind who do hesitate this way. Like Joe said, he's the exact opposite. So, it's kind of like asking a lawyer what's wrong with the medical...

First off, I believe you're mistaken in thinking that landlords are the ones most aware of this. Most tenants here know that their landlords can only raise the rent so much, and even if they don't, their friends will. Some tenants might not know the specifics behind it, but the amount is...

Thanks Russell - you rock even more than Jim does! I'd noticed yesterday that some of them had been changed over - it sure does make it more efficient. Have a good one, all! JohnS

That's awesome, Jim - thanks a lot! Have a good one! JohnS

She does post them, under whatever month we're in, but it's not usually daily - more like every couple of days, I'd say. They're separated into the various provinces and such, with a few other categories, too, but still by month. That being said, for whoever's reading this in The Powers That...

QUOTE (housingrental @ Dec 12 2010, 04:23 PM) A more appropriate choice would have been for you to email the poster directly with your comments. This could allow for him to be aware of your perspective, and make changes, without the need for publicly attacking him. Overall, I agree with the...

QUOTE (gwasser @ Nov 19 2010, 12:04 PM) Wow, a long epistle - I guess I need many words to say something that in my eyes is obvious. Thanks for taking the time to inform us of the problems when starting out, Godfried. I know a lot of us appreciate hearing from a side that we never normally...

QUOTE (JDaley @ Nov 19 2010, 10:32 AM) This thread has been ruined, what useful information has long been buried thanks to posts like the one above. Your post doesn`t contain anything relevant to the discussion other than name-calling so lets just quit it and move, or lets focus on the issue of...

QUOTE (JDaley @ Nov 18 2010, 01:58 PM) Calling me a "chum" doesn`t add to the discussion. Please try to add something new. Thanks. I wasn`t trying to add anything new to the discussion that time. I was actually just highlighting that you were continuing in your negativity, same as you had...

QUOTE (JDaley @ Nov 17 2010, 10:36 PM) ....you get the likes of gweisser whose apparent interest is to get off topic, employing misdirection and attacking posters..... ..... other than posters sniping at each other - exactly what gweisser would like.... ....he`s a part-time realtor and part of...

QUOTE (JDaley @ Nov 17 2010, 02:26 AM) You cease to amaze me, you`re like a pesky little dog chewing at my angle that eventually gets taken out to the basckside of a barn. Go away will you, [comment edited]. Thanks. Another brilliant example of how you attack the points raised, and not the...

QUOTE (JDaley @ Nov 16 2010, 06:59 PM) I don`t ordinarily respond to your emails, but I wish you (and gweiser) would just stop taking cheap shots at me. I post views and if you disagree, you shouldn`t attack the person because of it. This whole thread has devolved into Realtors vs JDaley and the...

QUOTE (JDaley @ Nov 16 2010, 06:47 PM) Not quiet, more likely to do with the person complaining to REIN - not the content (as I`m told). You`ve alluded to this a few times, so I`m just curious as to who the person is who has told you that your comments have been taken off because of complaints...
