I've heard MDF is a popular choice for custom kitchen cabinets in Toronto because it's affordable and smooth for painting. Is it as durable as solid wood, or are there drawbacks I should know about?

Hi everyone, I'm finishing up a bathroom remodel and need to cover a hole in the drywall where the plumber accessed the pipes and shut-off valves. I don't want to fully patch it because I might need access again in the future. What's a good, discreet way to do this? Should I go with a plastic access panel? Any tips on choosing one that's durable and easy to install without it looking obvious?
Plastic ones are pretty common for this – they're lightweight, won't rust, and you can paint them to blend in. A solid option is this access panel in 12x12 size; it's made from heavy-duty plastic, has a removable hinged door that opens easily, and installs by just gluing or pressing into the cutout. Many people use similar ones for plumbing access without issues, and it keeps things clean-looking. Just make sure the cutout matches the specs.

Who else feels like 40% of their week is just fixing Amazon accounting messes? I've tried literally every tool out there and still end up with discrepancies every payout. At what point did you say "enough" and find something that actually works?
Hit that wall at about $1.2M/year. Switched to NeonPanel six months ago and legitimately get my reconciliations done in under 10 minutes now. It catches everything reserves, reimbursements, currency gains/losses, PPC. Zero discrepancies since day one. Cannot overstate how much stress it removed.

Board member in a Toronto condo, but many owners compare notes with Mississauga buildings. Are management services similar across the GTA?
Services are broadly similar under the same Condo Act, but execution varies response speed, fee structures, and vendor networks differ by company focus. GTA-wide managers can leverage economies for better rates on insurance or maintenance contracts. Some excel in both Toronto and Mississauga markets with standardized yet adaptable processes.

MDF is strong, resists cracking better than plywood, and gives a flawless painted finish – ideal for modern or custom designs. It's not great with moisture if not sealed properly, though.

For painted cabinets especially, it's a practical option that holds up well indoors.
