May be buying a place with what would be my first shop and looking to find a supplier for polyurea that is in Canada?

Wish I was in your area. My cheapest so far on a 26x36 is 100k. No drywall, insulation, lights, siding at that price either. Sigh. Definitely will be building myself, if I build at all.

Regardless of what is mentioned above, I think a Tirfor is what you are after. I can't fathom the logic of "are OK as winches but not as come-a-longs"... I have used my tirfor multiple times to pull non-running cars onto trailer. Takes a while, but gets it done. This is what I am talking...

No. I bought the master cylinder brand-new and completely unpainted. I degreased it and painted it with the POR before the thing had ever seen a drop of brake fluid. That's why. POR does not do well in that scenario at all. It wants a rougher surface, some surface rust or an etched surface...

I would be considering stripping the siding, sheathing the wall and adding foam sheet on top of the sheathing before re-siding it. Done properly the foam is your vapor barrier. No thermal bridging with the foam on top of the sheathing either.

I would try an electric winch if you have one on your truck or whatever. It's what I've used on stumps and roots....

Surprised no one has said before this but you can get Rustbullet in white....

Up here (Mission, BC, Canada) if I do stem wall and slab, no engineer. If I want to do monolithic floating slab, geotech eng has to sign off.

What I have put together. To be topped with metal roofing. About a cord and a half per rack with 18" lengths. 7' tall at front edge, 10' wide, 3' deep topped with 5' deep metal roofing. <iframe src="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxojRMku9kmGZmQ3Y1hUVEZ2b19lLUljY1lhMlU1emR2dE13/preview"...

We call the one we have here at work the "universal key". As in "do we need to bring the universal key to this install" as we sometimes have to deal with legacy padlocks where no one knows where the keys are anymore or padlocks installed without our involvement.

It's because you're left-handed. Turn the phone the other way with the bottom to your right.

Make sure you check code in your area. Such railings are completely illegal where I am, either interior or exterior.

AFAIK, closed cell qualifies as vapor barrier - open cell does not....so that may explain where you saw foam and separate plastic vapor barrier. Also, seems to me that double vapor barrier is not a good thing - you've now created a space between the two in which moisture cannot readily escape.

that stuff is really really cheap compared to XPS - and only r-value of 2.9? I wouldn't feel good about it....

the only way I could get the EBPS (exhaust back pressure sensor) out of my ford 6.0 diesel was with one.... If it is not clear, they mount onto a socket wrench - or a socket wrench extension - which was what I had to do. You actually have a shocking amount of leverage with them, but you do...
