Using Classified Ads for Spring Cleaning
Now that the new year has passed, many will be thinking of that old dreaded spring cleaning regimen again. Digging out all of those things, arguing with your children or spouse about what really is junk and what is a time honored treasure. Well you all know that it is past time for a yard sale.
But notoriously it is hard to get people out to yard sales these days. Most prefer to sit at home and eBay word of mouth get rid of their things. Well, good news, if you are not in a super hurry to get rid of some of that old junk in the basement, you may have an options.
Gather all of those things together and toss them right onto a free classified ad site online. You weren't doing anything with them anyway, and you never, ever know if the lady down the street would absolutely love to have. What other things can you find when spring cleaning that you may not need anymore.
Old Childrens Clothes
Old Furniture
Pots, Pans and Plate sets
Childrens bicycles or go-karts
Most all of those things you find in your basement or attic may be junk to you, but to a collector may be the most spectacular piece of their collection. Be sure you post your free classified ads in plenty of different cities so other collectors may have the chance to jump on the wares you are selling. This is just one simple way to get your spring cleaning done, and to make a little money.

Phénix House, Montréal
Phénix House, Montréal Real Estate Development, Canadian Building, Architecture Photos
Phénix House in Montréal, Quebec
3 Mar 2021
Phénix House
Architects: Appareil Architecture
Location: Montréal, Québec, Canada
Phénix House: Appareil Architecture is Inspired by the Mixing of Cultures to Renovate a Montreal House
With the Phénix House, APPAREIL Architecture adds its signature to a bright and harmonious space, where the path unfolds in softness. With attention to even the smallest of details, the renovation of this Montreal duplex manages to make different styles cohabitate, creating a project in the likeness of its clients.
Following a fire, the owners wished to refurbish their 2600 square foot residence in the Notre-Dame-de-Grâce neighborhood. On the program: opening up the ground floor space, optimizing the openings onto the back garden, maximizing natural light, and furbishing the basement and second floor to respond to the family’s needs.
Contrasting spaces The project’s identity was inspired by the mingling of cultures between this couple of European and Asian heritage. The home finds a balance between a blend of influences, styles, and materials.
The kitchen was bespoke to respond to the clients’ desire to have a professional, bullet-proof kitchen, that could host and respond to the whole family’s needs. At its heart, an enormous island renders the space functional and full of character. Made of stainless steel, it contributes to an industrial aesthetic that contrasts with the white and the residential wood surrounding it, bringing a balance between a cold and a warmer physicality to the space. With the aim of creating a friendly and bright space, the opening onto the back garden has been highlighted.
A sequenced path On the ground floor, if all the spaces are open onto one another, they are discovered as you progress through the path. Wood-paneled screens of Japanese influence punctuate the sequences and create rich sub-spaces that simultaneously dissimulate and reveal. The spaces between the wooden slats and the floor’s grating contribute to the home’s light play.
The central staircase plays an important role: it is the link between the spaces. While segmenting the kitchen and the living room without completely sealing them off, it creates a connection between the levels and adds movement. It was left open to allow the light from the light shaft to cut across all levels down to the basement. Its steel, wood, and glass materiality bring clarity to space while reinforcing the connection between the different rooms.
A bespoke design One of the project’s main components is its integrated furniture, situated on the ground floor. A hybrid space, it answers the family’s need for storage and for office space in the living area. APPAREIL Architecture created wooden furnishings with horizontal lines that host a couch, a desk, a buffet, and storage spaces. An elegant and efficient design that cleverly optimizes the space.
Everything in the project was bespoke, from the chairs to the integrated furniture, through to the kitchen and the stairs. From there emerges a language coherent at all the levels of the project and a unique signature. An interior project all in finesse.

We’ve gathered up easy entryway decor ideas for small spaces and busy families, so you’re sure to find a makeover trick that will work for you. Hopefully, you’ll never have to scramble to find your kids’ shoes again. photo: Wayfair Affordable Chic This very affordable Bamboo entryway table/shoe rack is perfect for small spaces. Only measuring 25.25'' H x 28.375'' W x 10.625'' D, it has a tall space for umbrellas and boots, as well as four shelves for shoes.

Whether you use family photos, art prints or originals, it's a great way to make a statement. photo: Courtnay via The Creek Line House Marvelous Mudroom We were amazed by all the organization tips and tricks crammed into blogger Courtnay's DIY mudroom makeover. While she's lucky enough to have a large space that she's packed with drawers and cubbies, those of us with smaller entryways can still use her clever ideas to makeover our own spaces. We love her trick of using a wicker basket to hide away clutter and store charging phones. Hooks for coats and umbrellas, bins to catch gloves, and a streamlined entryway table complete space. Head over to The Creek Line House to read all about it. photo: Lucca Lu Creations via Etsy A Warm Welcome The key ingredient to making over a small entryway space is storage in the form of hooks, baskets, or bins. Add a simple bench and a few decor items to set the tone for your space—like the perfect doormat or wall hanging—and your entryway makeover is complete. If you're looking for a modern farmhouse style for your entryway, check out this round wooden welcome sign. It pairs perfectly with hooks to hang bags and space-brightening plants. Pick up the sign from Etsy seller Lucca Lu Creations, $65. photo: 1919 Home Goods via Etsy Tiny Console Table An extra-narrow entryway can get an upgrade with a slim console table. Paired with a small mail organizer, a succulent and a hook or two, it's an easy entryway solution. We love that this sustainable pine wood piece can be ordered in different lengths or heights, so you can have a perfect piece that fits your space. Buy it on Etsy from seller 1919 Home Goods, $129 & up. photo: Anthropologie Boho Beauty The beautiful floral carvings on the small Gulliver Entryway Cabinet set a perfect note for homes decorated with a bohemian flair. With three interior shelves—and doors to hide all that you store behind them—it's ready to hold shoes, stacks of mail or even the dog's leash. The beige piece pops against a bright background or, if you prefer, you can pick up the cabinet in navy blue with gold accents. If you're looking for more guidance for how to make the most of an entryway piece like this, check out these organization tips from the design site Oh Joy!. Find the console table at anthropologie.com. photo: Meera with First Sense Interiors Affordable Midcentury Perfection Looking to give a small entryway a makeover?

We love that there's room for two rows of baskets—enough for kids and parents to each have their own designated basket of stuff.

Hidden Fire Dangers in Your Home
In the U.S., fire departments respond to one fire every 88 seconds, according to the National Fire Protection Association. Cooking is the most common cause of home fires and smoking is the leading cause of home fire deaths. But there are many other ways that you could inadvertently start a fire. These are some of the hidden fire sources in your home.
Don’t store batteries near metal. Image: Mariva2017/Shutterstock
Batteries
All batteries pose a fire risk, even those with a weak charge, according to Craig Gjelsten, VP of Operations at Rainbow International, which restores damage caused by fire, water and mold. Gjelsten says that 9-volt batteries are the biggest fire culprit. Since their terminals are in close proximity, they can easily short. “I recommend a battery storage case or just leave batteries in their original packaging instead of lying around loose.”
Gjelsten also recommends storing batteries standing upright and placing electrical tape over the ends of each battery — regardless of the battery type. Other tips include not storing batteries in metal containers or placing them near keys, steel wool or other metal objects. “Also, be sure to store 9-volt batteries separately,” Gjelsten says.

Damaged electrical equipment and dust bunnies
If your electrical equipment is damaged, it can easily overheat and result in a fire, according to Tom Wallace, a Certified Master Inspector at Home Check Inspections in Riverview, FL. “It is important to regularly inspect the electrical equipment in your home for damaged or frayed cords and plugs,” Wallace advises.
You may be thinking that you’d know if you had damaged or frayed cords and plugs. But that’s not necessarily the case. “Power or extension cords hidden behind a bed or table that are repeatedly knocked against can become worn out,” explains Bill Timmons, Marketing Manager of Residential Products at Legrand. He also warns against walking over cords — for example, under carpets or on your hardwood floors — since this can also result in damage.
And don’t forget the dreaded dust bunnies. When they form around electronics, sockets and heaters, Gjelsten says they can ignite and start a fire. “Regularly vacuum dust near outlets, wires and appliances, including crevices and areas behind furniture,” he says.
Turn off your coffee maker when it’s not being used. Image: John Kasawa/Shutterstock
Coffee makers
“Your coffee pot could overheat and start a fire,” says Battalion Chief Raymond Williams of the Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service Department in Birmingham, AL. He says coffee pots with plastic components can get too hot if you forget to turn them off. Although most coffee pots with digital clocks have an automatic two-hour shut off, that’s still plenty of time for them to overheat. Also, several years ago, Kenmore recalled 145,000 coffee makers due to faulty wiring. So, to be on the safe side, don’t leave your coffee maker unattended and manually turn it off when you’re not using it.
Use care with flammable liquids. Image: Elder von Rabenstein/Shutterstock
Flammable liquids
It’s probably no surprise that gasoline or kerosene can inadvertently start a fire. “These flammable items should be stored away from heat sources in appropriate containers,“ says Wallace. “The containers should be labeled and easily identifiable.”
However, there are other flammable liquids that can also start a fire. For example, a woman in Texas opened a bottle of nail polish remover and left it near a candle in an unventilated room. The bottle ignited and she suffered third-degree burns.

Laptops
If you’ve ever held your laptop in your lap for an extended period of time, you know it can get very hot. However, you might not have known that it can actually catch on fire. “Laptops can get pretty hot during normal operation. When placed on a blanket or similar surface, the batteries can overheat and cause a house fire,” Gjelsten says. He warns against leaving your laptop on any type of soft surface. If you don’t have a home office or desk, consider using a laptop stand.
Use the proper wattage for your light fixture. Image: Darin Echelberger/Shutterstock
Light bulbs
Are you familiar with the term “overlamping”? It occurs when the light bulb wattage is too high for the lamp, and Gjelsten warns that overlamping can start a home fire. For example, if you use a 75-watt bulb in a 40-watt lamp, you’re overlamping.
“If the fixture is unmarked, stay under 60 watts to be safe,” Gjelsten says. He also advises caution with compact fluorescent lights (CFLs). “Avoid using CFLs when the base of the bulb is enclosed by the fixture, such as with track and recessed lighting,” he says. “If your CFLs are burning out early and they’re brown at the base when removed, the bulbs are overheating.” Gjelsten recommends a cooler option, like LED.
Perform preventive maintenance on your dryer. Image: Good moments/Shutterstock
Dryer vents
While you’re sprucing up your laundry room, don’t forget to clean your dryer vent on a regular basis. You should empty the dryer lint screen before every load, according to Dave Lavalle, Founder of Dryer Vent Wizard. “While the dryer vent and duct system carries the air and lint outdoors, some of it gets trapped in the lint screen,” he explains. And since lint is very combustible, he says the screen should be emptied before every load. “Also, on a quarterly basis, clean the lint screen in soapy water,” he adds. That’s because detergent, fabric softener and other materials can build up and create a transparent film.
In addition, you need to check the vent cover on the home’s exterior to ensure that there’s no mulch or bird/rodent nesting materials. “Lastly, check the flexible tube-shaped transition duct that connects the dryer and the duct,” Lavelle says. Every other month, he recommends checking behind the dryer to ensure the transition duct hasn’t been crushed or broken.
Don’t let paper pile up. Image: Nongnuch L/Shutterstock
Other hidden fire sources
Gjelsten also warns that if you leave stacks of newspapers and magazines too close to a heat source, they can ignite. “And if you use heating blankets and pads, do not place the cord between the mattress and box spring,” he adds. Gjelsten also advises against using these heating items on anything but the lowest setting.
“Also, throwing that unused bag of charcoal in the closest storage closet is never a good idea.” He says that damp coal can ignite and start a serious fire. Instead, Gjelsten recommends storing the bag in a metal pail or garbage can with a tightly closed lid.

These are some of the hidden fire sources in your home.
Don’t store batteries near metal. Image: Mariva2017/Shutterstock
Batteries
All batteries pose a fire risk, even those with a weak charge, according to Craig Gjelsten, VP of Operations at Rainbow International, which restores damage caused by fire, water and mold. Gjelsten says that 9-volt batteries are the biggest fire culprit. Since their terminals are in close proximity, they can easily short. “I recommend a battery storage case or just leave batteries in their original packaging instead of lying around loose.”
Gjelsten also recommends storing batteries standing upright and placing electrical tape over the ends of each battery — regardless of the battery type. Other tips include not storing batteries in metal containers or placing them near keys, steel wool or other metal objects. “Also, be sure to store 9-volt batteries separately,” Gjelsten says.
Check for dust bunnies around sockets. Image: NothingisEverything/Shutterstock
Damaged electrical equipment and dust bunnies
If your electrical equipment is damaged, it can easily overheat and result in a fire, according to Tom Wallace, a Certified Master Inspector at Home Check Inspections in Riverview, FL. “It is important to regularly inspect the electrical equipment in your home for damaged or frayed cords and plugs,” Wallace advises.
You may be thinking that you’d know if you had damaged or frayed cords and plugs. But that’s not necessarily the case. “Power or extension cords hidden behind a bed or table that are repeatedly knocked against can become worn out,” explains Bill Timmons, Marketing Manager of Residential Products at Legrand. He also warns against walking over cords — for example, under carpets or on your hardwood floors — since this can also result in damage.
And don’t forget the dreaded dust bunnies. When they form around electronics, sockets and heaters, Gjelsten says they can ignite and start a fire. “Regularly vacuum dust near outlets, wires and appliances, including crevices and areas behind furniture,” he says.
Turn off your coffee maker when it’s not being used. Image: John Kasawa/Shutterstock
Coffee makers
“Your coffee pot could overheat and start a fire,” says Battalion Chief Raymond Williams of the Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service Department in Birmingham, AL. He says coffee pots with plastic components can get too hot if you forget to turn them off. Although most coffee pots with digital clocks have an automatic two-hour shut off, that’s still plenty of time for them to overheat. Also, several years ago, Kenmore recalled 145,000 coffee makers due to faulty wiring. So, to be on the safe side, don’t leave your coffee maker unattended and manually turn it off when you’re not using it.
Use care with flammable liquids. Image: Elder von Rabenstein/Shutterstock
Flammable liquids
It’s probably no surprise that gasoline or kerosene can inadvertently start a fire. “These flammable items should be stored away from heat sources in appropriate containers,“ says Wallace. “The containers should be labeled and easily identifiable.”
However, there are other flammable liquids that can also start a fire. For example, a woman in Texas opened a bottle of nail polish remover and left it near a candle in an unventilated room. The bottle ignited and she suffered third-degree burns.
Keep laptops off of soft surfaces. Image: Twin Design/Shutterstock
Laptops
If you’ve ever held your laptop in your lap for an extended period of time, you know it can get very hot. However, you might not have known that it can actually catch on fire. “Laptops can get pretty hot during normal operation. When placed on a blanket or similar surface, the batteries can overheat and cause a house fire,” Gjelsten says. He warns against leaving your laptop on any type of soft surface. If you don’t have a home office or desk, consider using a laptop stand.
Use the proper wattage for your light fixture. Image: Darin Echelberger/Shutterstock
Light bulbs
Are you familiar with the term “overlamping”? It occurs when the light bulb wattage is too high for the lamp, and Gjelsten warns that overlamping can start a home fire. For example, if you use a 75-watt bulb in a 40-watt lamp, you’re overlamping.
“If the fixture is unmarked, stay under 60 watts to be safe,” Gjelsten says. He also advises caution with compact fluorescent lights (CFLs). “Avoid using CFLs when the base of the bulb is enclosed by the fixture, such as with track and recessed lighting,” he says. “If your CFLs are burning out early and they’re brown at the base when removed, the bulbs are overheating.” Gjelsten recommends a cooler option, like LED.
Perform preventive maintenance on your dryer. Image: Good moments/Shutterstock
Dryer vents
While you’re sprucing up your laundry room, don’t forget to clean your dryer vent on a regular basis. You should empty the dryer lint screen before every load, according to Dave Lavalle, Founder of Dryer Vent Wizard. “While the dryer vent and duct system carries the air and lint outdoors, some of it gets trapped in the lint screen,” he explains. And since lint is very combustible, he says the screen should be emptied before every load. “Also, on a quarterly basis, clean the lint screen in soapy water,” he adds. That’s because detergent, fabric softener and other materials can build up and create a transparent film.
In addition, you need to check the vent cover on the home’s exterior to ensure that there’s no mulch or bird/rodent nesting materials. “Lastly, check the flexible tube-shaped transition duct that connects the dryer and the duct,” Lavelle says. Every other month, he recommends checking behind the dryer to ensure the transition duct hasn’t been crushed or broken.
Don’t let paper pile up. Image: Nongnuch L/Shutterstock
Other hidden fire sources
Gjelsten also warns that if you leave stacks of newspapers and magazines too close to a heat source, they can ignite. “And if you use heating blankets and pads, do not place the cord between the mattress and box spring,” he adds. Gjelsten also advises against using these heating items on anything but the lowest setting.
“Also, throwing that unused bag of charcoal in the closest storage closet is never a good idea.” He says that damp coal can ignite and start a serious fire. Instead, Gjelsten recommends storing the bag in a metal pail or garbage can with a tightly closed lid.

Prepare This Checklist While Choosing Condos For Rent
One of the best things about being an adult is that you now have the independence and maturity to make your own decisions. However, choosing the right apartment or condos for rent in Laval is a tough task, especially if you are unfamiliar with the neighborhood. Here is a checklist of the things to consider what you should be looking for in a condo;
The Locality
Check the neighborhood before you start with your apartment hunting. Is the locality safe and well-connected to the landmarks of the city? Is it near your workspace? How are your neighbors? - These are some of the questions you need to ask before selecting the area. There are online property platforms and websites where you get detailed information about the accessibility and amenities of the area.
The Spacing
Once you have zeroed into the area, you can begin with finding the ideal apartment. For instance, people looking for condos for rent in Laval, will find accommodations that are compact yet very comfortable. The condos you get here are not very spacious, but the rooms are well-spaced, orderly and well-arranged.
The Furnishing and Arrangement
We would recommend you pick a semi-furnished condo to save you the cost of having to invest in furniture and fixtures. Condos for rent in Laval usually come pre-furnished that you can then customize to suit your liking.
The Extra Facilities
Other than the basic facilities, you can also look for a condo that has other perks like swimming pools, gated security, round the clock electricity and water supply, cleaning and maintenance services and more.

Lightspeed offices Phase 2, Montréal
Lightspeed offices – Phase 2, Montréal Business Building Interior, Canadian Architecture Photos
Lightspeed offices – Phase 2 in Montréal, Quebec
10 Dec 2020
Lightspeed offices – Phase 2
Architects: ACDF Architecture
Location: Montréal, Québec, Canada
Lightspeed offices – Phase 2
Lightspeed commissioned ACDF Architecture – the designers for the first phase of the firm’s headquarters – to create a new floor dedicated to product development. The workspace of the point-of-sale software company is located on the ground floor of a 19th-century railway hotel, the chateau-style Viger Railway Station. With its distinctive architecture and its historical significance, the building is an iconic landmark that stands out in Old Montreal’s skyline.
Inspired by the contrast between the historic railway station and the growing tech company, ACDF created functional and lively office space. The new floor provides an ideal environment for development teams, expressing at the same time the audacious and creative nature of Lightspeed.
The offices occupy a large and bright 15-foot-high space. Daylight reflects off the slick surfaces of the glossy white epoxy-coated floor and the gypsum ceiling. The harmonious setting creates a unique synergy driven by spontaneous interaction.
Inspired by the best product development approaches, Lightspeed encourages collaboration and self-organization amongst its team members. Each group works as a unit, almost like an independent start-up company, and the collaborators adapt the space to fit their needs. Each group has its own desks, meeting room, and social area in the open floor plan. Varying pastel tones spread on the walls and floors in shadow-like shapes, defining each team’s zone.
Like small islands, these areas form a dynamic archipelago that invites gatherings to take place in the in-between spaces and the surrounding pastel walls double as whiteboards for impromptu meetings and presentations. The flexible environment helps team members to focus on projects in progress while also fostering close working relationships.
Following in the footsteps of their design for the first floor, ACDF opted for a careful intervention that preserves the original building’s rich heritage. Remnants of the existing shell offer a backdrop to the contemporary atmosphere of the office space. The architects uncovered remaining bricks and stones to expose the raw material and created a dynamic contrast between old rough walls and new rectilinear geometry that highlights the space’s qualities.
Passing through the old central wall, we reach “the alley”, a common space where the industrial past of the building is more noticeable. The glossy floor finish of this area exposes the concrete and terrazzo patterns. The black paint on the ceiling conceals the ducts and piping without hiding them completely.
Located at the junction between the 1898 Viger Railway Station and the 1912 Berri Railway Station, the alley is a space where eras and people meet. With its comfortable atmosphere and its long counters calibrated for large-size gatherings, the room can accommodate up to 300 people and can provide a meeting place for the whole Lightspeed team.
The central position of the alley divides the floor into two: a clean and edgy space on one side, an industrial environment on the other. Adapted to the visionary work of development teams, the new floor of Lightspeed’s office is a real innovation hub, while also providing an engaging and inspiring workspace.
