    I was in Scarborough today , stopped at a previously loved watch shop to look specifically at a Squale , black face and bezel at a good price , but then saw a Longines Hydroconquest blue bezel/ blue face at a very good price so it followed me home instead . Sent from my iPhone using...

    Boat Rentals

    I’ve spent some time in the Bruckmann shop in Mississauga ( google his beautiful boats ) . I know building big boats is for professionals. Fitting out big boats should also be left to professionals. Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

    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...

    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...

    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...
