Depending on height, My Astro / Safari vans weren't tall enough for a Sportster.

I would prefer this thread to deal with bricks and mortars. I'll leave it to the mods.

This would be better argued in the political forum.

I'm posting this in romper room because of renovation discussions. However it belongs in politics. Do not reply in Romper Room. Take comments to the political forum. Mods, dump or move as you see fit

Isn't Teflon a forever plastic? Some early versions were machined into components and the machinists did't fare well. IMO they'e OK for a grilled cheese sandwich or a quick fried egg. The problem I have with thin pans is they warp when heated. Metal does that and thin metal is worse. An...

Go to Home Depot and pick up a 80 pound bundle of shingles, carry it down the aisle and back. Do it 90 more times. Still interested in DIY? The cost of materials for my job was likely about half so doing it myself would have saved three or four grand. My life is worth more. If friends help what...

Enjoy the workout, carrying 80 pound bundles of shingles up a ladder. :(

I did an overlay. Working by myself I did one panel a day with there being seven panels. I did that in 1985 and had the next job by the pros in 2004 or 2005 for about $4K, stripping off the two previous layers.

My black overlay lasted 20 years. Just saying.

Has anyone checked out their rates. I occasionally see their ads on social media, FB. Considering Costco's habit of taping stuff together to sell a package it would be nice if they did the same for people that had more than one bike.

Bit of an offside but.... 50+ years ago I was working for a company and the owner owned a Maserati that he had imported from Italy Ghibli? One day he had me drive it over to a sandblasting shop to have the wheels blasted as they had corroded. I removed the knock off wheels old style with a...

In my case, a modest house, my roof was about $7K and would be about 4 years of reserve fund. Furnace and air would be about the same. An owned hot water tank should be in on the program as well. My driveway adds a bit. Renovation doesn't typically come from the fund because it can be...

Has anyone asked the dog? We have a tendency to transfer human emotions to animals. When dogs meet on the street do they ask each other about their offspring or just sniff each other crotches.

A fencing dilema. My neighbour behind me and I agree on keeping the hedge between us as we both enjoy the privacy. However the hedge is in rough shape and is on my property. A chain link fence is embedded in the hedge. I was looking at replacing the hedge but the five figure cost has me...

Think like a condo owner. Create a reserve fund. Put $150 a month into the fund and don't touch it. In 10 years you have $15K plus interest to pay for a new roof or furnace / AC. Roofing is a scam. Read my lips. I needed a new roof: The local well advertised darling company wanted ~$23K, did...

I only spend ~$200 a month on gas. If my tab was $800+, EV wouldn't take long to pay off the premium price at $9600 a year.

I've been told they're chewy, especially the leg meat. Is the taste any different from factory produced? My brother got the odd deer and said flavour depended on where the deer were feeding. If it was corn fields it wasn't as gamy. Turkeys?

At DND in Ottawa the micro shredders don't have collection bins. Everything is immediately transferred via vacuum lines to a dumpster at shipping and receiving. All that micro confetti is getting mixed together as it churns through the piping system. 25,000 confetti bits per page mixed with...

Adverse possession rules changed a while back. I assume squatter's rights are largely a thing of the past. The 1952 fence location trumped the situation, being unchallenged for so many years.

I don't know enough about economics to rate the possibility of there being a political system that is fair to everyone. Communism sounds great. Everyone pays the same for a loaf of bread and makes the same amount of money. The down side is that not everyone is equal and eventually a more...
