ING is now depositing my check, in US dollars, into my US dollar
account.
Before they had been putting it into my Canadian account.
When should I transfer the money into my Canadian account? The amounts
are small,
but I'm thinking even if I wait until the exchange rate goes up 1%% that
is a few dollars.
Is there an easy way of figuring out when to do this?
I've never had to think about this before.

yes. your local zoning, building, and fire codes cover all the
rules for fireplaces.
generally speaking, fireplaces lose more heat than they generate
unless you have a franklin stove or something similar.

Pull the batteries immediately, then let it dry thoroughly in a warm place
(over a lamp, for example). This may take a few days; you can accelerate
the process by blowing a hair dryer into it via the battery compartment
for several minutes.

Most new cars recommend 3000 miles under severe conditions. For normal
use, 7500 is typical today as stated in my GM and Hyundai manuals. I've
been doing that in my cars for years. Works well for my driving conditions.
The oil change places give you that little sticker for 3000 miles under any
condition because they want to sell oil changes.
The manual also states that you should use genuine GM washer fluid too. Do
you?

In general, it should extend 3 feet above the roof
and it should be 2 feet higher than anything within 10 feet.
> Is there a law on this ? especially in N. California ?
Yes. You should look it up in case it's more restrictive.

Yes, they just passed a law in California outlawing any new chimneys
and taxing existing chimneys to pay for the increase in the # of people
with emphysema and bronchitis due to wood burning fireplaces.

SOME communities have covenants that rule you can't make ANY
modifications to a structure. Maybe you might want to consider
another property if this one isn't exactly what you are looking for.
