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

    I just bought the Costco portable hot tub . At nine hundred bucks it’s less than the sales tax on a proper fiberglass tub . I can buy a new one every two yrs and be cheaper than Arctic spa after twenty years . If financing a roof is under five percent , sure sign me up , otherwise I’ll pull...

When on sale you can buy a complete HVLP top feed gun for less than the cost of a DeVilbuse needle . For big spray jobs I'm partial...

    Graco airless are fantastic, there is a learning curve but not insurmountable. You can get very good coverage if you’ve paid attention. Airless does not mean no overspray so be conscious of your surroundings. It would be my way of doing siding . Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

    Canada Post - Huge losses

    I was opposed when we got the superbox at our first house , but I didn’t realize ( sixteen years ago) what a functional crap show Canada post was . Put in super boxes everywhere if it gives Canada post a chance to survive. There is one at this house , around the corner from me , litter is zero ...
