The door got installed yesterday, looks like a good unit , goes up and down and keeps out the cold, time will tell the energy savings and durability. Still waiting to hear about the DASMA test, the company rep said it will be this summer at soonest, I’ll post it once I know it. I have a couple...

Only tools not corded in my shop is my 18v impact drill /driver combo and my trouble light, I use all air tools or cords for everything else under the sun ☀️ lol, no batteries to charge or have die , it’s my shop so it’s not like I’ve got anyone else messing with my cords or lines, can run the...

Call your local veterinarian and ask who your local animal control officer is, they should come set up a trap and remove the animal as part of your services. If the vet doesn’t know who to call,!check with a wildlife officer, and if they don’t want to deal with it, they should be able to lend...

It’s the thermoguard line. The door should be here in about two to three weeks, with the holidays coming up, but the install crew doesn’t have an opening until Feb 20th. But I’ve told them they can come and install it if they get a cancelation. But they’ve only quoted me for a 2” track, I’ll...

Yeah, here’s my next weeks forecast I try to keep my shop around plus 5-10 Celsius (40-50F) with two electric 7500watt heaters, R50 ceiling, r20 walls, so this door is the better part of my westerly facing wall (windward side), I think an overkill door now is less expensive in the long run

So I’m going with the Midland 3”. Manitoba Hydro has a program out to help cover the cost of a more energy efficient door, but the DASMA 105 test hasn’t been done on the door I want but they will take my application with a “pending” exception for the test, so once it’s completed, and if it...

Check out the lift manufacturer’s web site for the install plans for the lift you want, then you can make sure the concrete is good enough for the lifts footings where you want to place it. Truss rafters are a great way to get more clearance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Disassembled the front truck axel assembly, found the radius rod was bent, disassembled the spare assembly , hope to make one out of two, came apart pretty good for a 90 year old truck, nothing some heat and a big hammer can’t fix

Got the front axel apart on the AA, love working on 90 year old iron!

That’s going to be a fun truck! What years the old “corn binder”

Thanks for all the reply’s. Manitoba Hydro (my electric company) offers a kickback for getting a better door, it has to be DASMA 105 tested (not sure what that entails) so that’s partly why I’m looking at the thicker door. It could be that the test puts the whole door assembly on the line to see...

Hi guys, I’m looking at a new door for my shop. It has a 14’ by 14’ Richard Wilcox from the early ‘90’s and it’s been a good door, I’d rather fix it but the local rep doesn’t know if they can gets the panel and seals I need so I’m thinking it’s time to swap it out. Midland offers a new 3” thick...

Finally finished the rebuild job from hell, new roof and side panel repairs to my camper, 22 days and I can finally have my shop back to play next week once the last of the glue dries over the weekend and I spend a couple days cleaning up the mess Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
