    Inflation

    I'm not sure what you're all complaining about. There's plenty of money to be made if you work hard. Billionaires worked hard and made money in these hard times...

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

    Absolutely, I will seal it after installation. It's just that the package says every three months. That's ridiculous, and I know it will not happen. What sealer do you use on your floors? The tiles are marable. I took a look at some offcuts that I sprayed with water last night and left with...

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

    I haven't done finish caulking with it. Having adjustable steady speed is like like driving an auto. It's easy to overshoot. With the manual caulk gun it's probably easier to get a nice finish if you are good at balancing speed and trigger pressure. Manual caulk gun gives more control. I...

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

    I git a bunch of caulk on clearance and a display power gun for $20. That will take care of any gaps quick. On another note some prices are still wack. Pvc baseboard is 3x compared to US at HD. Transition strips are also 2x-3x.

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

    Various things. For example, a door frame with about a 1/4" - 1/2" gap up top. It would take too much caulk to fill and not be worth using a spray foam can as they are pretty much single use.

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

    I need a glue that expands and foams up to take up space. I remember the old PL used to do that, but as newer versions of it came out, each promised less foaming. What kind of glue that comes in a cartridge expands the most?

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

    Hey, going back to my countertop stove cutout, you mentioned sealing the edges well. I will apply a good bead of silicone between the cooktop and counter face, but is there a product and technique to seal the wood below the counter top?

    Any concrete guys here?

    I am far from a concrete guy, but I recently fixed my basement slab that had a few issues. It had a 6in deep 2ft by 2ft cut out. Some spots required thin leveling in preparation for flooring. I read lots of reviews and specs of all kinds of concrete sold HD. Most self leveling concrete needs...

    COVID and the housing market

    Yes, I rolled into Squamish and coerced a local into selling me their property. I told them to take 20% over 2019 prices and **** off. Sorry, not sorry, they invested in F350s and lift kits. It's amusing how many different levels of locals there are here. Who exactly is a local? The loggers? The...

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

    Is it a big one like the one I have or a small one? I'd also get a smaller one.

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

    X10 I really hate dust. A friend lent me a power sander. Tacklife PDS03A looks like a fairly cheap unit, but I find it very capable. It sands really well. With its large surface area, it leaves a nice smooth finish and doesn't oversand. It's also very good at catching most dust. I have it hooked...

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

    I have to patch a concrete slab that was cut out. I poured quikere and leveled it to ~1/4" below the slab. Can I use self-leveling concrete as the final topper since I have some extra? How long do I have to wait for the sakrete to harden before I coud pour the self leveling concrete? Quikrete...

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

    Yep, a battery backup or manual bypass should be installed. Yes, there are systems that do exactly that. They have a water sensor, a water supply solenoid valve, and a contactor that cuts power to the tank. I found my sensors. BAPI manufactures sensors with normally open held closed...

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

    My valve is fairly easy to operate, but the torque is a valid concern. The Flo is all cloud and phone apps. It has many pictures of the phone, and pretty water consumption graphs, but no mention of it is a motorized valve or a normally closed selenoid. Small leak monitoring does not provide...
