1. Any recommendations for windows and doors? （ 75 ｜ 11 ｜ 32）
Original English title:Windows and doors recommendations?
Post content summary:I'm looking for some advice on replacing windows and doors. Recently got a quote from Brook Stone for 12 windows, patio door, double front door and back door for $69,000. They seem like a solid company with great products, but too rich for me. I'll get a quote from Home Depot today, but I thought I'd ask here for any advice or suggestions! Thanks

2. Door-to-door pest control salesman （ 46 ｜ 12 ｜ 17）
Original English title:Door-to-door pest control sales man
Post content summary:Around 8:15 PM, a young man pounded on my front door. It startled me. I was in my pajamas and reluctantly opened the door a crack. He asked if I was the homeowner. Then he said he was doing pest control work. Another man stood at the end of the walkway to the door. I'm a renter, so I politely declined and said I wasn't interested. He wouldn't take no for an answer. He kept pushing a laminated sheet with different pests closer and closer to me. He reached out to shake my hand and said w

- After I shut the door without a word, two window scammers with heavy South Asian accents spat on my truck windshield, so disgusting. Can you check the window before opening the door? It's just scammers and handymen knocking on my door, I don't even answer anymore (10)
EN: I had two window scammers with a heavy south asian accent spit on my truck windshield, after I closed the door without saying a word Absolutely disgusting Are you able to check out the window before opening the door? Its - Yes. The same guy came to Innisfil a few weeks ago. Very aggressive, tried to name my neighbors. I was angry at myself because I wouldn't shake his hand and was rude to him. Pretty sure it's the same guy because he had a laminated sheet with him. (10)
EN: Yes. Had the very same guy come by in Innisfil a few weeks ago. Very pushy and tried to name drop my neighbours. Got pissy with me because I wouldn’t shake his hand and was very short with him. Pretty sure it’s the same - This isn't recent. And it's not always pest control. Geez, my husband let a water salesman into our rental because the guy convinced him our landlord sent him. That was almost 10 years ago. Door-to-door sales are almost always scams. If you're not expecting anyone, don't open the door. You open the door, you give them a chance, and those 'sales' people are forced to sell to you. (6)
EN: This isn't a recent thing. And its not always pest control. Heck my husband let a water sales guy into a house we rented because the guy convinced him that our landlord sent him. That was almost 10 years ago. Door to doo - Thankfully, I haven't experienced this, but I recommend buying a wireless smart doorbell to avoid such situations in the future. If you move, you can take it with you, otherwise I'd suggest a wired one. So, I haven't dealt with lawyers for over three years. (3)

- I'm not a photographer, but the air show is over Kempenfelt Bay. The waterfront is almost all parkland around the bay. I assume the south shore has the best space for your needs. Enjoy! (3)
