How I Beefed up my Attic the Right Way
Alright DIY-er, you want to hear my story about me tackling my attic because you are savvy enough to know that if you wear a tuque on your head in winter, you can get away without wearing a jacket - but the reverse is not true. Hot air rises, like a bad boss' ego, so here's how I keep it contained (in my house at least). For you bean counters out there, I will show you what happened to us with the results of my calculations.

Solar Panels for Homeowners - Entry 4
Since you've made it this far, give yourself a pat on the back since it seems your solar panel dreams are very likely to materialize. This article is about the last few steps to making it happen and I have divided it into two parts: Quotes & Installers and Financial Considerations.

Solar Panels for Homeowners - Entry 2
For your next steps, you don't need to brave the elements. You will need a flashlight, a ladder, jeans, a long-sleeve shirt that can get dusty, and some shoes that can also get dusty. For those of us who like clean houses, don't worry. The mess will be a small one.

Solar Panels for Homeowners - Entry 1
On the eve of Earth Day 2024, I have been inspired to share my journey of putting solar panels on the roof of my house a couple years ago. Although I live in southern Canada, what I write about in this short seriesapplies throughout the northern hemisphere, so I hope this helps to demystify things and clarify expectations. The first couple articles are also useful if you are looking to buy a house and put solar panels on it later - in other words, things you can look for before making an offer.

Stock Trading - Entry 21
After all that talk of blockchains and people repeating history one way or another by acting on nefarious or semi-nefarious intents, here's a ray of sunshine I have conjured up and am now sharing. The basic idea involves you helping your city track water usage so you get yours for free. Hear me out - there are only ten small steps.

Stock Trading - Entry 20
Alright, enough with blockchain mining. This article focuses on a different set of questions. What's my (current) stock trading strategy? What did I see with my stocks in the first quarter of 2024? Did I find any interesting stocks while window shopping for some? What is royalty financing? What is a sure-fire way for me to earn money on insurance this year?

Stock Trading - Entry 17
Finally! An article with a structured analysis based on a list of things I can check (online) in the comfort of my own home. While the following is an example of applying my blueprint to determine if investing in a company with a blockchain or mining their blockchain appears to be a good investment for me, this is NOT advice. But wow does it ever serve as a great example for, what I would consider, a well-rounded investor-style analysis - not to mention the blockchain is kinda neat.

Stock Trading - Entry 19
This article covers the last two of my 13 questions I listed in this earlier entry regarding my analysis of the Helium blockchain. Why only two questions here? Well, there were seven questions on tech because I have been advised by many to understand what I invest in. There were four loaded questions regarding key players because I am considering being one of them as an investor or miner. These last two questions are things I am not looking at doing, but each has the potential to rock a blockchain's boat if I ever got in it.

Stock Trading - Entry 16
Alrighty folks, it's time for me to show you what happened when I got my hard hat out, put in a new battery, and turned its light on because I am going deep on mining in this article. Okay, it's blockchains, so a computer is going to do all the work for me - or will it?

Stock Trading - Entry 15
I still say I got lucky with a one-day delay in a money transfer since that left me with $95 dollars to spend. To keep my portfolio balanced and to make it easy to recover the trading fee, I need to acquire at least 600 stocks in a given company in one shot. This put me square into penny trading and venture capitalist territory. (Again, I am writing what I thought based on what I found and this is NOT advice.)
