    Boat Rentals

    Wow. I remember the Bruce Roberts kit boats , buy the poorly made hull and then Home Depot the rest . Lot of interesting interpretations of seaworthy. Even when finished and floating they were still not an elegant product. Occasionally pop up for sale , at bargain prices . Sent from my iPhone...

    Boat Rentals

    If this goes forward we have space at my company yard in Caledonia (28acres) and a barn will go over it . Wood is almost free in a lumberyard lol. We will see if the engines turn over before moving it , otherwise it’s 20k per side and we are done before we start . Wife is threatening it better...

    Boat Rentals

    I was offered this today , not the crap covette the Chris Craft forty two sitting behind it . All the parts are there , twin Chrysler five forty’s that were running when parked nine yrs ago. Hull is solid , interior shot. I’ll guess a hundred would get it floating , two hundred to make it ok...

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    There is a product called gudgeons and pintles. They are eyes and pins that are named after boat parts but have been used for making truck and trailer side racks for years . Using them on side panels allows setup in two mins and flat stack when not in use . Roof is flat drop on . Princess auto...

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    Roxul makes several Rockwool acoustic wool products that are perfect for what the OP is trying to do Conrock which is designed for sandwich wall construction and safe&sound which is usually thicker . You probably won’t find them at the local home center you’ll need to find a commercial...

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    Sound can be reflected twice as fast as it can be absorbed. You want a bounce the sound away from the house , three sided box makes sense . Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    You can pack the stock of most guns with lead shot in a baggy then duct taped to make a sausage . It helps a lot , seven or eight ounces does it . You will find the barrels are a bit heavier on a trap gun and the reciever is somewhat more robusta on sporting guns vs field . The stock shape...

    COVID and the housing market

    I’m not surprised at Center Court whacking him hard . In the last couple years developers have been building in clauses on pre occupancy flips to help keep the market sensible and allow the developers to sell enough units to close out the condo deal , not swim in flips and paper trails . Dude...

    COVID and the housing market

    I don’t feel the least bit sorry for Tajin the condo flipper . He was looking for a quick buck and condos , cottages , houses are all like any other venture . Many of us made huge gains in months and a couple years , but anything that goes up like a rocket usually comes down in flames . It was a...

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    The only real problem, if it’s even that , is shooting trap or skeet with field and duck guns is they are usually too light . They are built to wander around the bush or haul into a blind . Trap guns are sometimes pounds heavier so you don’t get beat up shooting a hundred birds in a day . They...

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    Dings hurt a small bit financially but hurt a lot emotionally. If you get a custom stock or just a high end gun you feel very bad when the piano finish gets hit with a piece of flying clay target . My custom stocked Browning has many whacks from broken clay , doesn’t really change the value by...

    The "Official" Watch Thread and all Things Horological

    Dive computers have rendered all that tech to the shelf . I only wear an actual dive watch diving for nostalgia. Last trip to Bahama, the diver master handed out preprogrammed sets and collected them at days end , you were emailed a printout each evening and a weeks final print logging...

    I may have one like that in a box around here someplace. If it’s not as disintegrated as yours you can have it . Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    That’s not awful , cheaper than a Krieghoff or Kemma. DTII is a very well made gun , you can break targets with a Stevens you bought for a hundred bucks , you just can’t break two hundred thousand of them . Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

    COVID and the housing market

    The cottagers that bought hoping AirB/B would be the mortgage saviour are getting cooked as cottage associations are passing bylaws having had enough . Even municipalities are pushing hard as the local cop doesn’t want to drive...

    Canada Post - Huge losses

    Boat Rentals

    In its day it probably was nice , now it’s a floating liability. The “encapsulated keel” is marketing term for a full keel that was built into the mold then filled with concrete or lead scraps and capped inside , it’s not better . Five was probably the initial commitment to get a production run...

    That’s funny , and sad , and stupid . And they will have to bring engineers out before the bridge goes back into service ? That should be cheap. Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

    Boat Rentals

    We are getting a lot of Bukh engines here now as repower projects since they are quite reasonable compared to Yanmar or John Deere marine , way more reliable and affordable than anything Volvo and Perkins / westerbeke seem to be vintage pieces . Bonus is they seem to also be designed for anyone...
