    Science news of the day

    Helps them feel 'different', not be part of the 'simpletons', makes them feel like they 'know something that others don't', etc etc... And some of them are just doing it for a laugh.

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

    Hmmm...I have access to a reciprocating saw, and a chain saw...so I guess any of those would work. I'd prefer NOT to cut through the roots of the tree...but sadly there won't be many options here. Still debating min-ex over the trencher...but leaning toward the mini-ex.

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

    I think this would come in handy when I cut my electrical trench. Lots of roots in the way.

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

    My damn RIDGID tools won’t die after over a decade. The batteries themselves are still the original ones bought many years ago with zero issues. Only reason I bought the RYOBI is because RIDGID doesn’t make it. Dewalt is in my future simply because I expect to inherit oodles of the stuff once...

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

    Dad has a sweet Dewalt 20V chainsaw. I really enjoy using it for smaller trees and larger branches. Now that I have the RYOBI 40V mower I may go that route or 18V Ridgid.

    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    I’ve also seen it. I’m bored so reported to Halton police and urge anyone to also report the video and link. Report was just accepted/approved.

    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    Someone in the comments was able to get the plate off the car. Hopefully they report it to the cops. Something like that will 100% warrant a call / visit from the police.

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Think I shot my back out lifting the lawn mower over the side walls… But damn it’s easy to transport things with those walls up! These were the brackets at the top of the list: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0BYL68N5C

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    I need to figure a way to make the back end removable safely while maintaining rigidity. Need to put a lawn mower and bunch of gear in there soon, and it will be painful to lift up that high with just my wife helping out. @oioioi recommended me some good brackets to use, but I'm also thinking...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Damn...wish I had seen this before dad built my trailer walls...although would need to check if it fits my folding trailer as it may be very specific to a DK2... https://www.costco.ca/dk2-4-ft.-x-8-ft.-open-rail-kit-.product.4000397892.html So if anyone has a folding trailer...this would be a...

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

    I always debate b/w the 4x4 or 6x6 whenever I'm building something. Leaning toward the 6x6 but not sure if I need to buy the 12ft or 8ft will suffice. Don't need this thing super tall so will do some measurements and then decide. 4ft deep minimum considering the winter frost up there. I'm...

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

    Thanks. We have a similar design (smaller) in the back and it hasn't moved an inch. It's sitting on gravel instead of being dug into the ground for support. This one I'll do a 4ft base. My biggest concern is the 6x6 (or 8x8) rotting over the years and then it's a pain to replace without having...

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

    Very nice! I wasn’t planning on putting a deck floor on it. In all honesty i want to make it large enough (within no permit needed requirements) where I can park the car under it in the winter when we go up. The area currently looks like this… Plan is to go to one extra row / column of...
