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

    My guess is the LG ones are a bit pricier but I'll look. I'm interested in one of these as the prices don’t seem outrageous, I can’t run ductwork to this area and I have a 220V circuit free near where it needs to be installed. Initially for the room above an unheated garage I was going to get...

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

    That's the kind of thing I was looking for. 18000 BTU Dual Zone Mini Split Air Conditioner - Heat Pump - SENA/18HF/D Thanks. The Home Depot units were giants and cost 4K without the head units.

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

    @madmike do you have a link for the multizone mini-split heat pump you talked about before? I see some at Home Depot but the multizone outdoor unit plus the indoor air-blowers are more than twice the cost of two single zone units which doesn’t seem right to me.

    Pickup Trucks

    For the 1-2 times a year I might need a pick up truck I'm happy U Haul have the $19.99 option available. I like trucks, can't justify one. Edit: whoever opened the U Haul franchise in our city is a business genius. It's right opposite the Costco.

    Hitler and the Nazis: Evil on Trial on Netflix. https://www.netflix.com/ca/title/81561941 Really good documentary with some dramatized scenes and colourized vintage video. It's about the rise and fall of Adolf Hitler from a vagrant in Austria to The Fuhrer. The common threads tying...

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

    Sigh. For my roof issue I think the major damage is partly down to a satellite cable install (not me) from nearly 20 years ago I think. The cable looks like it helped water follow a course under the edge flashing at one area to a point where there was a small gap into the ceiling cavity. If...

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

    Weird shape. Second photo shows a bit of the tie in to the existing sloped roof. The stripes are what I did this morning to the seams. Sent from my SM-S938W using Tapatalk The wettest plywood was in-between the 3rd and 4th seam from the leading edge of the roof. That's a low point on this...

    I don’t know if it makes a difference but the roof is not a normal shape. I'll post some pics.

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

    Looks like a leak, maybe more than one, not huge but bad enough No idea why we only saw issues in the summer but maybe the batts dried out when there was little humidity in the winter/end of summer and soaked the water up, in the summer with high humidity they were saturated along with...

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

    So the spray foam guys are here and taking down the ceiling with the condensation issues. Just got called up because the batts that are there above the vapour barrier are pretty sodden. Seems like a lot of water and the guy was asking if it could be a leak. I said it only drips water when...

    So it's that time again....winter pasttimes?

    Maybe my physics isn’t so great but if the guy doesn’t soak up the recoil won't that punt fly backwards at quite a rate of speed?

    That looks like the dictionary definition of hearing damage.

    I think you posted an artillery picture.

    So it's that time again....winter pasttimes?

    I've watched a few musket loaders and it's pretty intricate. Pretty decent if you're in a group and can reload as one line fires but I'm not sure I'd fancy my chances if I'm more or less alone and there's a hoard charging at me.

    What’s your reload time record?

    Anyone here a cyclist?

    DJI is getting into the e-mountain bike game. First reviews of their motor have been very positive and they outshine the competition. I looked at the bikes, they are very well specced. The main issue is reliability as no one knows what that is yet. Pricing might not be available yet, I wonder...

    I watched the MH370 documentary on Netflix “MH370 The Plane That Disappeared “. Pretty sure I wasted most of my time watching this as after a factual start it descended into a bit of conspiracy theory mush. There's some interesting characters though and the Malaysian authorities don't look...

    Anyone here a cyclist?

    Went to top up tires. Got the same issue with the Presta valves being little bitches so today was the day to swap it all out. Since the valve cores were coming out I topped off the sealant too and switched over a saddle as the last one made me feel like a rugby team had used my ass for kicking...

    Anyone here a cyclist?

    So I'm no expert and the last experience of riding a bike over rough stuff for me was in my teens and the bike was made out of bits of other old bikes and wasn’t guaranteed to stay together for more than 10 minutes but…I did the same thing, got a lesson a while back and was told the same thing...

    Anyone here a cyclist?

    Our local trail park has some pretty narrow stuff and I've found myself shoulder checking the occasional tree. I think bar end grips would just hook me off my bike but I would definitely find them more comfortable. As an older rider I've made some adjustments. I wear a Leatt under shirt that...
