It's hard to install foam in joist bays in a way that is vapor tight. I would spring for the spray foam in this situation.

It boggles the mind that courts have applied the constitution to bike lanes. What a colossal waste of our money from every direction.

I like Mike's list. I'd look for an air leak. Something like a split boot may lean you out when starting with the button but when you kick it, things move and the crack could close. I'm surprised it worked so well when riding but it could have been closed more often than it was open. Back to...

Reviews have long had issues where may people rank based on delivery experience or feelings that have nothing to do with the product at hand. Ideally, those would get flagged as useless. Don't disappear them, just categorize them as a waste of time and remove them from the metrics.

I don't even know if you can get DIY closed-cell. I looked into buying a diy set to do some rim joists and it made no economic sense so I canned the project.

And $200 is really $300 as the bottom one doesn't even include a hose. $70 more for two batteries, hose, water bag, foam cannon and more is reasonable. It is pretty hard to find a job where any of these little battery powered washers are much better than a bucket and brush.

I'd be shocked if it was a human.

Could be helpful for specific tasks away from power and hoses. For instance, cleaning a boat, hunting blind, trailside repairs etc. Definitely not a replacement for a traditional pressure washer for general use.

If you don't want the seadoo on the beach, you often want the anchor deeper than the seadoo. I would not be using something I had to manually screw into the bottom. They make folding anchors for seadoos but I wouldn't trust them while I was away from the boat. A two-fluke aluminum anchor will...

For a while I stopped carrying booster cables in my car. Of course, during that period my in-laws needed a boost so I bought a lithium boost pack for them. That was an expensive rescue but they should be self-sufficient in the future. The cables now live in my car.

Pete gave you some coverage and 500 views of the scumbag. Good luck. https://todaysnorthumberland.ca/2025/07/29/northumberland-opp-seeking-public-assistance-in-theft-investigation/

I bought a new drivetrain for my bicycle years ago as my current one is theoretically worn out. The old one has been behaving though so I haven't put the new one on. One gear is unhappy so I need to inspect to figure out why. Given that it is only one, I suspect I will find physical damage to...

@bigpoppa Finally got it again. I suspect it is more about lead generation than test rides, but here's the link. https://www.ducati.com/ca/en/test-ride

They want to encourage tourism. Paying on the way in would cause a lot of people to divert. FWIW, the bridge and ferry used to be different prices. If you want the experience at minimal cost, you would take the expensive one onto the island as it was free and the cheap one off. I can't remember...

If you bring it by, I'll fix it. Obviously I'm not in a convenient location unless you are headed this way for another reason. If I'm in your neighbourhood in the near future, I could do it there but I try to avoid the big smoke.

With very few exceptions (eg nissan), I have zero concerns about long-term battery issues. Many more recent cars have had stinker ice engines or transmissions (Ford and hyundai come to mind and hyosung 250's) that doomed them to the scrapyard after warranty than there were ev's doomed by a battery.

Most modern mothballs are no longer napthalene. I assume you need to find napthalene balls for this to work.

"Estimate" equals lots of sprinkler time.

I consider it paint. It changes the appearance but not the lifespan. Fixing the crack could buy you a little time. What road ever gets sealed? How long do they last?

I know quite a few people that go for a bike ride and get ice cream as a treat during the ride. The majority are riding <10km total. The math isn't mathing for weight loss. Sure, it's an enjoyable activity but the fattening is real.
