which chattels or fixtures will be included or excluded with the home. 05 - LISTING AGREEMENT This form is the agreement between a seller and their real estate brokerage. The Listing Agreement forms the basis for drafting an offer on a home and includes directions about negotiations.

Coconut Curry

SHRIMPS with GINGER AND LEMONGRASS

SERVES

his Thai-inspired Curry Shrimp recipe is perfect for those cold winter days when you need something that will warm you from the inside out!

DIRECTIONS

INGREDIENTS • 2 pounds large (16-20 size) shrimps, peeled and deveined • 4-5 tbsp olive oil • 1 yellow onion, diced small

STEP ONE

• 3 cloves garlic, smash and chopped

Heat a heavy duty fry pan or cast iron pan over med high heat. Add half the oil. Add the shrimps and cook for 2-3 minutes each side or until they are opaque. Remove from the pan to a plate, set aside.

• 1” piece of fresh ginger, peeled and minced

STEP TWO

Add the remainder of the oil. Add the onion and sauté until translucent and golden, about 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger and lemongrass, sauté for another minute or two. Add the curry powder, mix into the onion mixture, cook for another minute. STEP THREE

Add the coconut milk. And the water to the empty can of coconut milk, swish it around the can and dump that water into the pan with the coconut milk, let it boil, add the lime juice, salt, chilis, tabasco. Let the sauce boil and reduce for about 6-7 minutes. Taste the sauce, add more salt, chilis or lime to taste. Add the basil and spinach. Let the sauce thicken so that it coats the back of a spoon, about 3-4 minutes. STEP FOUR

Ti ps to Create an Ideal INCOME SUITE rom the condominium craze to the rise of multigenerational living, the climbing cost of homeownership across Canada continues to spawn new trends. The transformation of basements into rental suites is a big one that can help offset mortgage costs. There are plenty of advantages, as well as some important considerations to ensure the best result.

DO YOUR HOMEWORK Check zoning, bylaws and adhere to your local building code. As with any new construction or renovation, building permits must be obtained, and all work must be code compliant. This will protect you and any future tenants.

Scott McGillivray Host of Income Property

CONSIDER FIRE SAFETY AND SOUNDPROOFING Select building materials with a high fire-resistance rating that will not off-gas or contribute to toxic smoke in the event of a fire. Soundproofing is also a must when you plan to share space. Install sound absorbent insulation between floors with resilient channels to reduce sound transfer between living areas. Contractors love stone wool fire and soundproofing insulation, because it protects against fire and noise and is easy to install.

WATERPROOF IT Check the interior foundation and floors for existing moisture issues, water damage or mould problems. Address any primary moisture issues before finishing the space.

INSULATION IS KEY As a landlord, it's wise to invest in smart renovations that can improve efficiency and bolster your bottom line. For the best results, insulate well. I recommend installing a rigid board insulation, like Rockwool ComfortBoard 80, against the concrete foundation before you stud the wall. The board is mechanically fastened or adhered to the concrete foundation wall, which prevents thermal bridging through the studs, providing better thermal performance. Finish with a moisture-resistant and dimensionally stable insulation between the studs, like R14 Comfortbatt, to protect against common basement issues such as mould, mildew and rot.

SPEND WISELY Keep the renovation budget reasonable. Spending no more than two years' worth of rent to convert your space is a good general rule of thumb. Forego high-end finishes. Instead, create focal points that will “sell” the suite.
