They only should be 1/4 -3/8 of inch through.

The windows are all pretty much 30 inches wide and 67 inches tall. 

The shingles were nailed on 3 inch wide boards! 

This is exactly why we take a geoniching investment strategy [inch wide, mile deep]. 

They wouldn't budge an inch.

They also said I had to move the existing electrical panel 36 inches away from the gas meter if I wanted to upgrade to 200A or higher.

Recently painted every square inch on the inside getting ready for all new windows.

I have a 10-inch HF tile saw that I only use Ridgid blades on.

I am very happy to join the forum, I am from Toronto and looking forward to learn more about real estate investment and grow together with you guys :)I have a property in Toronto, given its zoning already allows for duplex, I am thinking about converting the existing property to a duplex. following is some basic info:2 story semi detach, location: close to middle town,purchase price: CAD 900000 lot size 21*100, 1500-2000 sqrt feet interior, 3 rooms on second floor, 6 feet high basement, 3 separate entries(front door, back door, basement), 1 detached garage in the yard but facing forward(not laneway), parking is in front of the housealready installed gas furnace,property was built in 1910sARV based on nearby duplex: 1.2m+there are several work involved in this project, including change service power to 200A, egress window for basement, open one window for main floor, separation wall to form two units, and create bathroom for main floor, separate meter if basement size is allowed.another thing I am undecided is whether it is worth to underpin the basement to at least 8.5 inch or not, giving the basement is very small (about 400 sqrt feet)I am only on the first stage of the project, where I just started to gather information and source for an architect and project construction team.
