Regardless of how you use your workshop and what kind of work you actually do in it, having a pleasant working environment will not only improve the standard of the work you will be able to achieve but also promote safer working.

I myself use my workshop for woodworking and this kind of activity requires a bit more control over the atmospheric conditions to keep the wood from moving or warping and ruining the work. Even if you are using your shop for less precise work you will still need to cover some basic things to make the shop a little more inviting.

Lighting. This is probably the most important element in creating a useable safe space. Natural light is of course the most preferred but usually is insufficient in quantity and obviously absent at night. Unfortunately most of us will have to install some kind of artificial lighting source.

Make sure there is plenty of overhead lighting mainly consisting of fluorescent strip lighting. This type is very cheap to run and creates a very useable general light in the shop. You can then supplement this with task lights using halogen bulbs to really highlight important areas.

Temperature. Most workspaces will need the ability to adjust the temperature/ humidity. This can create a much more pleasant working environment and will be essential in the depths of winter or height of summer. Obviously during summer you can use natural ventilation by opening all available doors and windows supplying fresh air into the shop. If this is insufficient then consider installing an air conditioning unit to reduce the temperature

If your shop is too cold then you will need to install a workshop heater. You can read more about heating your shop at workshop heater

This article is a step by step explanation on how a Canadian resident files for personal bankruptcy in Canada under a federal statue called the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (“BIA”).

Step 1: Meet with a trustee to evaluate your financial situation – Just as you would see a doctor to assess your symptoms when you’re not feeling well, one sees a trustee in bankruptcy when experiencing great financial distress. The trustee’s evaluation includes a review of your assets, debts and household budget (i.e., income and living expenses). Upon completing the evaluation, the trustee will give you options in dealing with your debt, including the option of bankruptcy.

Step 2: File an Assignment in Bankruptcy - Once you’ve made a decision to file for bankruptcy, the trustee prepares a legal document called an Assignment in Bankruptcy. By signing the Assignment, you are indicating that you are voluntarily filing for bankruptcy.At the time you sign the Assignment, the trustee will explain that you have duties as a bankrupt individual. These duties are to (a) disclose all of your assets and liabilities to the trustee; (b) advise the trustee of any property disposed of in the past year; (c) surrender all credit cards to the trustee; (d) attend an examination at the OSB, if required; (e) attend the first meeting of creditors (if a meeting is requested by the creditors); (f) advise the trustee in writing of any address changes; and (g) generally assist the trustee in administering the estate.

The Assignment is filed with the OSB, a branch of the federal government that monitors bankruptcy and insolvency filings. Once the OSB receives the Assignment, it issues to the trustee a Certificate of Appointment, appointing him as the trustee of your bankruptcy estate. There are three things that happen once the trustee is appointed:

(1) Once the Certificate of Appointment is issued to the trustee, you are legally bankrupt. At that point, your assets vest in the trustee (i.e., he becomes the legal owner) for the purpose of liquidation and distribution to your creditors. In the majority of situations, you won’t lose your assets, as Ontario law allows a bankrupt person to retain:household furniture up to $11,300; personal effects up to $5,650;tools of the trade up to $11,300; a vehicle valued up to $5,650; pensions; other special exemptions for farmers; and certain life insurance policies and certain RRSPs.The trustee for the benefit of your creditors may sell other assets you have. However, in most cases arrangements can be made to allow you to keep assets that would normally be sold.

(2) Wage assignments and garnishments are stopped, as well as most other legal proceedings against you.

(3) You are required to keep track of your monthly income and expenses and may be required to pay a portion of your monthly income to the trustee. How much you have to pay is determined by the trustee based on guidelines set out annually by the OSB. These guidelines take into account the amount of your household income and the number of dependents.

Step 3: Attend two financial counselling sessions. During your bankruptcy you’ll be required to meet with the trustee to discuss any potential non-financial issues that led to your filing for bankruptcy. For example, gambling, substance abuse, and marital breakdown are common problems in society that inevitably lead to financial hardship. In addition, the trustee will provide information to you on money management and ways in which you can rebuild your credit.

Step 4: Meet with the trustee to discuss your discharge. An important event in the bankruptcy process is obtaining your discharge from bankruptcy. Being discharged from bankruptcy essentially means that you are free of your debts (with certain exceptions – student loans, alimony/child support, fines for breaking the law, and judgments arising from fraud or physical/sexual assault, are not discharged), and that you are no longer “bankrupt” for legal purposes.

Your creditors, the trustee or the OSB have a right to oppose your discharge. Common reasons for opposing a bankrupt’s discharge are: (a) failure to attend financial counselling sessions with the trustee; (b) failure to make required payments to the trustee; (c) failure to disclose all assets to the trustee; and (d) questionable transactions entered into by the debtor before or during the bankruptcy.

If no one objects to your discharge and you are a first-time bankrupt, a discharge is automatically granted nine months after filing bankruptcy. If you are granted an automatic discharge, there is no court hearing and the Trustee sends you a copy of the discharge.

If your discharge is opposed, the Trustee sends a discharge application to the Court. The Trustee will advise you if you are required to appear in Court for the discharge hearing. At the hearing, the Trustee’s report informs the Court of the circumstances surrounding your bankruptcy. The Court will then issue one of the following orders:

Absolute Discharge: You are no longer responsible for debts incurred prior to bankruptcy (save for the exceptions noted above);

Conditional Discharge: You may be required to pay a certain amount of money to your creditors through the trustee for a specified period (e.g., $100 per month for 24 months). Your discharge is subject to fulfilling the terms and conditions of the order. An absolute discharge will be granted when the specified conditions are fulfilled;

Suspended Discharge: This could be an absolute discharge but there is a delay before it comes into effect or is reviewed again by the Court; and

Discharge Refused: The Court has the right to refuse a discharge in unusual circumstances.

If you have been bankrupt before, your discharge application is sent to the Court for its review and determination. There is no automatic discharge for a second-time or third-time bankrupt.

Who prepares my tax returns? You must supply the trustee with documents to complete two income tax returns during the year in which a bankruptcy occurs. A pre-bankruptcy income tax return must be filed for the period from January 1 to the date of bankruptcy. A post-bankruptcy income tax return must be filed for the period from the date of bankruptcy to December 31.

Income tax refunds from prior years are an asset of the bankrupt estate and must be sent to the trustee. The trustee may request that refunds from the post-bankruptcy return be paid to the estate. Income taxes owing prior to the bankruptcy are discharged. Any amount owing on the post-bankruptcy tax return must be paid by the bankrupt.

Starting Over – Rebuilding your Credit One concern for many individuals contemplating bankruptcy is the effect on their credit rating. Bankruptcy will bring a person’s credit rating to an R9 with the credit bureau. It will remain so for 6 years after the bankrupt obtains his discharge, after which it will be deleted from the debtor’s credit file.

Does this necessarily mean that you won’t be able to get credit during this period? No, it does not.

Your credit rating is certainly an important factor in determining your credit worthiness. However, lenders will look at other factors such as your income and your ability to get a guarantor or co-borrower. There are also other devices through which you can rebuild your credit:

Secured credit cards – Certain financial institutions issue secured credit cards. By providing a bank or trust company with a money order (usual minimum is $1,000) along with the credit card application, you’ll be issued a credit card with a maximum credit line equal to the money order. For example, you submit a $1,000 money order along with the application form, and you are issued a credit card with a limit of $1,000. The bank has your $1,000 as security to ensure you pay your credit card balance.

Mortgage brokers – If you are in the market for a home and need financing, a mortgage broker will shop around for the best mortgage rate avail able to you given your bankruptcy. However, due to your bankruptcy, the rate offered to you will usually be above current market rates.

These days, there are a lot of economic hard times. People are constantly looking to save money, and who can blame those people? Everybody wants to save a dollar, right? At the same time, buyers should be looking out for their fellow American citizen. We want to keep the American economy rolling.

I would like to persuade buyers to not only purchase products that are eco friendly and will be saving the environment, but to also shop for products that will save the US economy. Purchase items that are made in the USA, and save the American economy.

It is really hard for the American manufacturers to compete with all of the products that are placed in the market today. Countries are exporting mass quantities of products that are produced at cheaper costs, so they are usually less expensive to the end consumer. We’ve seen a lot of countries importing a lot of large volumes of products, which is making it less expensive, but it is also hurting American jobs and the American economy. Jobs are being lost because American consumer are purchasing products that are made outside of the USA.

Also, not to mention (my biased opinion), typically, products that are made in the USA are a better quality than those products that are imported. Typically, US manufacturers have more strict regulations, which produces a better quality product, in the end.

If your company is purchasing products, please consider the products that could be purchased from domestic manufacturers. Purchasing products from manufactures located in the USA will boost the morale of the nation, which will in turn keep the American economy rolling.

Recently, our company has seen a spike in interest for Made in the USA products, which is great for the American manufacturing companies. It is also great for the environment because the products are eco friendly. If we are seeking to save the environment, why not save the economy at the same time?
