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

    Just remember it’s jamb extensions on all window and door frames to accommodate the half inch of gypsum instead of quarter inch panels . Sure would update the interior Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

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

    I bought the basic crimp tool from princess auto and a tube cutter , I think all in it was under sixty bucks , bag of copper crimp rings and I was in business . I do try to be really careful and keep cuts square and line things up cleanly. Total cost was like paying for twenty mins of a real...

    Pay Day Loans

    Friend is a mortgage broker , you go see her when the traditional bank isn’t working for you . She’s not a shark and her rates are often better than the bank , but the number of people that show up with an employment letter that states they earn over two hundred Gs a year working for the family...

    Pay Day Loans

    When we first married we bought some furniture from the Brick , no pay for one year . When the loan came due we found out the loan had been sold to Household Finance and you had to pay the loan at a branch office of Household finance. Try and find that pre internet living in the sticks . We...

    Pay Day Loans

    So 1st , I've never used or needed one. I'm listening to a man interviewed on CTV news, he owns a small engine shop , needed some medical help and borrows $4500 from "pay day loans" , five yrs later he finds out he owes $3790 of the $4500. He pays $200 a month , $156 of which goes to interest...

    I’m also with @mike on this paving stone patio , I’d hire a company to come in , lift the stones and level . Then it’s there for twenty + yrs . You haven’t spent a grand or more on crappy PT lumber , and it’s done . Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    All good fun , till your kid “borrows” it to shoot pop cans at a friend’s big lot . Once you have a federal firearms charge , it limits the ability to travel to many countries , be bondable or insurable for many jobs . Not the conviction, which you may get out of , the charge stays on your...

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

    @JC do not use your old shingles for shims , it’s just hillbilly engineering . I’d use two x six for sleepers , they lay flatter and span nicer and twist less than two x four . Then use your five/quarter deck boards and you’re good to go . You probably don’t need to screw into pavers , gravity...

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

    PEX is so simple to use it’s crazy . My advice in an outbuilding ( unheated ) design your runs so you have low points to drain it out in the winter . Our off grid place had an air line hookup in line so the pipes could be blown out for winter . A barn would be simpler Sent from my iPhone...

    Trailers

    If I bought yet another trailer I don’t need , I would go five x eight box trailer and have hoops made and a canvas cover . Best of both worlds . Gravel and top soil and furniture to the cottage . Lots of trucking tarp shops do this work . Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

    With KiTec its was a one hundred percent pipe problem , they decided it was a good idea to put an aluminum foil layer into the pipe manufacture . Add cheap brass fittings and galvanic corrosion ensues . You’ve made a bad version of a battery . I have four bathrooms and a kitchen , the gamble is...
