Other Expenses

Motor. We take the motor to Haultain Service, whose address is Woodview but they are north on Highway 28 from our road. Normally when we store it there they winterize it, and in the spring they replace the spark plugs and gear oil and grease the motor and lubricate the unit plug washers (whatever those are) and replace the cotter pin and make sure it starts. Storage used to cost $70 but in 2006 went up to $75 and in 2008 to $80.00. Added to that are parts and taxes. Parts are apt to vary slightly from year to year. In 2005 we had the water pump replaced for $103.50 parts and labour, plus taxes. We bought the motor in 1997 at Paris Marine for $2,195-$50 (trade in) = $2,145

Chimney Sweep. In 2003 we used Jeff Martin, who charged us $85.55. I have no idea who Jeff Martin is, I just have the name.

Appliances and Furniture. In 2009 mother spent $214.09 on a new garbage bin.

John and Gale bought the electric heater in the living room in 2008 for approximately $100.00

John and Gael arranged for us to buy the refrigerator in May 2004. It had a list price of $689.99 although taxes and charges for delivery and removal of old fridge rounded it up to $800.

Miscellaneous Expenses:

• 2010. Paul spent over $100, which we rounded off, on various cottage related expenses, again including raccoon related expenses.
  
• 2009. John spent $138.06 on materials to rebuild the barbecue. Mother spent$109.65 on paint.

Phone. We do not share this. Mother still pays it. We have to settle any long distance costs with her.
