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

    No other info available as the floor below is finished. No other persons worked on the plumbing other than the ones' (trades) who built it. I'm not saying they were competent, just that whatever trades the home builder chose are the ones who did the work. The drain just clogged one day. It's...

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

    No just simple MDF shaker doors. The Poly clear didn't come out nice enough so I want to just sand them and repaint white and skip the poly (they're already white). I think I'll just save the cash and and headache and roll them.

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

    Are any of the <$100 paint spray guns decent? I'm fancying repainting 8 cabinet doors that I'm not currently happy with. They're not in the kitchen and don't need to be perfect, just acceptable. I could also roll them which is what I might end up doing I was just thinking spraying them might...

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

    No I can't see below as this is the island. As we had the house built I may have a photo of the area before the island was installed over that area..

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

    While we're on the plumbing topic as well, any tips to free up a kitchen sink? There's no P-Trap that I can see unless there's a valve in there somewhere. We've tried the baking soda+vinegar trick a few times with limited success.

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Sold sleds/trailer/gear last winter as we weren’t getting out enough. I miss it, but I don’t miss how short of a season it is and all the maintenance and space they require.

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

    I made built ins in the Livingroom a few years back but the pine knots are showing through again so I’m going to try Bin sealer. I also made a walk in pantry but didn’t use dry enough lumber (joined 2x10’s) for the cabinet tops and they’ve dried to leave a slight gap which is enough to be...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Same, but I’m running out of things to do as none of the bikes need any maintenance. Going to reorganize my toolboxes as a make-work project.

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    My old Cub would break sheer pins numerous times a year but since getting the Ariens 3yrs ago I haven't broke one. If there's any play in the auger they'll break easier but you likely already know that. Only thing I don't like on the Ariens is the on/off key. I'd much rather being able to just...

    Daily sports car?

    You're not wrong. I do feel though that we're one good EV roadster away from shaking up the used ICE sportscar market. When I say good that includes price/range/performance. This might be why I'm finding it difficult to commit to another car right now as /i like to make money on them. Right now...

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

    Ours has a slight squeek for the past few months that I'm interested to look into. It's 5yrs old front load. Don't know what's making the noise as they're pretty simple machines but I'll pull the rear off and see if I can locate it this winter when I get bored enough. Edit: Google shows it's...

    Daily sports car?

    Check out the Lexus EV version of it. More polished and sexy like the original LFA except, ya know, EV.

    How long do you keep your motorcycles?

    I'm usually every 2yrs as I'll buy a bike that's 1yr old with only a couple thousand km's on it, ride it for 2yrs and sell it around the 35,000km mark as resale will still be good at that. Often buying in Fall/Winter and selling in Spring/Summer I usually break even on price. My dirtbike I...

    Coffee

    I do enjoy good coffee but for now it's a couple cups of Maxwell House or Folgers from a pot. Maybe when I have more time in the mornings we'll invest in something Gucci like many have here. My SIL has a nice machine where they grind beans for each cup and then transfer it into a little cup...

    Favourite Christmas movie

    National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is probably my favourite. We also watch the following every Christmas: Elf, Home Alone, Deck the Halls, The Santa Clause (all three), Grinch (original and remake), The Polar Express, Die Hard, The Holiday, Love Actually, Klaus. I really enjoy Klaus.

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    I've learned that if you coat it with enough slick stuff on delivery it'll break less when you crash it (repeatedly in my case). Marriage tip: wipe off household vacuum wheels after using it on the garage floor or they'll leave little dirty tire marks on your white carpets.

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    This thing is just a big dirtbike so I usually just give it a basic wash but each Fall I give it a thorough clean/inspection. It does clean up pretty nice. Bit annoying that you have to take off the lower plastic and crash bars to take the skidplate off though (oil change).
